I'm not sure that actually means we can copy paste into designer and preserve alpha - I havn't got it to work from PS [CS6]

You'll find it works when pasting a copied image from a web browser which has alpha transparency rather than another application Steve.
This never worked before and effectively broke the 'Import Graphics from web' feature. Now, with the ability for WD and DP to import the entire page, layout and all from the web - Xara have made sure the transparency is retained.
thanks steve

Yep, that was my main use for it too (right-click on PNG image in Google Chrome, "Copy Image").
However, I think a Screenshot with an Alpha channel is wrong "per se" and Xara should probably ignore it (if it is possible to detect that the contents of the Clipboard are a Screenshot actually)

Can someone give me the full details on wher the Options/Clipboard/PasteAlpha to 0 reg entry is - as I'm looking in MAGIX/Xara_Designer_Pro_X and cant see it! Thanks.
If this is an option in 8.1.1 can someone highlight this as I have that one now.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Xara
then to the program eg:
XtremePro/8.1
then to Options/Clipboard/PasteAlpha as in Gerry's post
[never edit registry unless you are sure, and backup first]

Ah! I was not only looking on LOCAL MACHINE, not CURRENT USER, but was looking (as said) in MAGIX not Xara.
Many Thanks.
I'm assuming disabling this will interfear with something else - even if it is just interacting with some other program - it would be nice to know.

Hi,
I too have this weird issue with pasting a 'print screen' I don't understand how to reset the registry, can someone explain please, for me it seems an issue of something that was not broke being 'fixed'!
I cannot find how to use the information "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Xara
then to the program eg:
XtremePro/8.1
then to Options/Clipboard/PasteAlpha"
It is a real nuisance as I have to open an older copy of Xara, paste the image re-export it etc etc.........! And always when there is rush job.
Kind regards
Martin
