Problems exporting TIFF with photo adjustments.

[Merlinski]

I'm frustrated here because I can't export my print job correctly for a flyer job for next week!

Allow me to explain...

I'm adjusting the colour saturation of a JPEG within my design in Xara Pro 5, but when I export my TIFF the colour adjustments aren't in the export.

If I create a bitmap copy of the image with the adjustments within the design - the colours are correct.

I can make all manner of photo adjustments with an image, no matter what the image in the exported TIFF remains unchanged.

Any assistance would be GREATFULLY received.

Cheers

I've discovered if I export in CMYK it doesn't retain the colour changes or any transparent overlay of saturation either, but if I come out of CMYK export all the colours are present and correct.

How annoying.

Did you set Options>>View to Edit Local Colors in: CMYK and then enable 'Simulate Print Colors' before editing and exporting to TIFF ?
I find that in that mode the exported TIFF retains the colors as seen while editing in Xtreme.

This fails to work unfortunately.

As I say - the method as described seems to work fine for me.

ORIGINAL .TIF


ADJUSTED IN XTREME5 then EXPORTED as .TIF



Merlinski, just a note - we prefer that images are attached to posts rather than hot linked, this ensures that they are always available for viewing.

My bad, appologies.

Right the result is the same with the method put to me - I did try.

I might re-stress that the results are correct when I export 24Bit colour instead of CMYK - so surely this constitutes an real and actual error within Xara?
