New Version of Photo & Graphic Designer

[gwpriester]

You can export objects on named layers in PSD and they come into Photoshop on the same named layers. Just tried this in Designer Pro X11 and Photo & Graphic Designer.

yes Gary I think you've been able to do that for a while

sometime back someone from xara, might have been PhilM said that since objects in xara could be grouped, such groups were the equivalent of layers in PS, and xara layers could be looked on as as layer groups

until now though you could not export each object on a xara layer to its very own layer in the PSD - now you can

for example six object groups on one xara layer can be exported to a PSD resulting in six layers, one for each object in stacking order and position

Why is it that the introduction file always starts up when I open Photo & Graphic Designer 365? - I have all the backup options unchecked to see if that mattered, but it doesn't.

Just close it when the application opens.
It should never bother you again,

actually it willl if you are running the trial - it will open everytime

XX_introduction.xar is held in your user appdata, but if you delete it the program will redownloded it from the web as I recall

maybe just best to delete it everytime you open the program until you are done with the trial / buy it

I found this problem in PG&D10 and a 11 even though I had purchased them even after entering the serial number and run as administrator and the method I posted was the only way I could stop the Introduction displaying as the default page.

fair enough if it had become your default - in the trial of P&GD365 that I have downloaded it is not the default page file, it opens as well as a second tabbed file , and as I recall this is forced until the product is activated....

glenn - What happens if you just close the page?

It sounds as if you have not saved a default page which Xara will start up with every time you open Xara.
Choose a page size from options or a custom one, put all the settings you require in the options box, i.e grid and ruler, units-pixels or inches ect. When you have selected all the settings you require, click on apply and then ok, in the file drop down menu, select "save template as" enter a name for this template and most important, tick the use as default template. Next time you open Xara your template will be displayed, the Introduction is still in the Designs Gallery.
