Problem with RGB-color module

[olledahl]

I am running Xara Designer Pro X and there is a problem with my RGB-module.

The problem is that I need to have a color with the data R 241 G 145 B 27 (kind of orange).
But, when I enter the data the color module converts it to percent (%) and the color is definitely not orange.

How do I make Xara RGB-color module understand that I don't want to use percent?

Anyone that knows?

0 to 255 values are OK in WDMX but seem to be not possible in DPX ?

you need to go to the utilities menu click options and on the units tab change 'colour units' from 'percent' to '0 - 255'

also the colour editor defaults to HSV - you will need to change that to RGB otherwise you will not get the color you require when you enter those values

Aha I looked for an option like that but couldn't find it. Cheers Handrawn

always easier to find something if you know where it is before you start looking

Thank you!!!!
You made my day.

However, how do I change to default RGB from HSV?
Can it be done?

You can change your default color model in the Page Options > View section.
