Designer 10-11 TIFF Exporter dimensions/DPI fail

[handrawn]

I have never seen the 'page' option avaialble for TIFF - I have not used TIFF as much as gary, but in animation sometimes it is required; not often for me these days

There is not much in the manual about TIFF export, and it refers to the 'page' option as 'spread' which covers single and double pages; typical of xara whose help/manuals are often not consistent

I did a quick check exporting TIFF as both LWZ compressed and no compression, both exported at 300 dpi

both files were exactly the same size, in my case 6250 by 4633 pixels - the only difference was that the internal flag for dpi was not changed to 300 dpi in the uncompressed export as it should have been but was left at the default 96 dpi; the flag in the LWZ export was correct

If you have photoshop you could export from xara as PSD at 300 dpi and then save from Photoshop as TIFF

I appreciate if you are doing 100/150 per hour that may be an unwelcome extra step if you cannot work in batches

this is something that needs fixing I agree, only xara can do that - you could post a request in the dear xara forum - rob-xar is currently overhauling issues such as these where possible...
