Re: png export quality not really convincing DESIGNER PRO X
Given the size of the image, I don't see how you can have a better result. It's pretty smooth as far as I can see. There are only 77 vertical pixels and I think few people (perhaps just one) would say that those curves are anything but smooth at that size.
What am I missing?

It's under the second tab (Bitmap Size) in the Export dialog box. It defaults to 96DPI (screen res).
Thing is, PNG was designed to be a screen format, so DPI is kind of superfluous. Most applications (as in uses, not programs) of the PNG format (such as displaying in web pages) need exact pixel dimensions.

Re: png export quality not really convincing DESIGNER PRO X
I was hoping to create photo quality clip art that I can export into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. So creating the clip art worked great in Xara, but saving as .png was very disappointing. Still do not know how to save .png at a specified resolution, as when I export it only gives me a choice of what file type I want, and not dpi quality. Any suggestions? Thank You

Not sure which program you have & whether the export options are the same in all versions but try Export png, give it a name and click options button, not the export button. In the options window select required dpi etc from the drop-down list. Ensure you have the minimise screen anti-aliasing selected too. Hit Export.

I tried again to export in .png, and when I clicked on export it did give me a choice, so I was able to export at 300 dpi. I then imported into PowerPoint and it had excellent resolution. Thank you for your help.
My version of Xara Designer Pro is the latest (bought yesterday). When exporting it does not give the OPTION button.
But, when I clicked on export, the option screen did come up.
Re: png export quality not really convincing DESIGNER PRO X
The issue is really how the image is going to be used. If you are printing a document using a commercial printing company, then 300dpi is the resolution to use. But for a PowerPoint presentation, 96dpi should be adequate. 300dpi if the presentation is web or monitor based is over kill. Windows can only display 96dpi.
When you export, go to File > Export and then select PNG from the Files of Type drop down list. This will give you more options than if you select File > Export PNG.

Interesting!
If I click on the “Export” button, I do not get an options button. However, when I click on export it gives me the options menu.

If I click on the “Export as png” button I do get a settings button.

Thought I would include this for anyone else who is wondering where the OPTIONS/SETTINGS button is!
Re: png export quality not really convincing DESIGNER PRO X
When you click on Export, the sequence is a little different, but AFAICT the options are the same.
Click Export, enter filename, click Export button. That's when the Options dialog appears.
As Beanpole says, if you click Export as PNG. the Settings button is shown in the Export file screen. Then the Settings button displays the Options dialog.

i wish monitors with higher resolution for the 21th century ;))
