Attachment 122858 I was wondering if there is a way to remove the gray/white background and make this a transparent background. I find all kind of tutorials on how to use GIMP, PS, and some online converters, but I would much rather use Xara.
Thanks

Bob, this seems to be a screen capture of an original PNG. Why not search for it on the web?Quote:

It has built-in guidance.
Have a look in P&GD to see if you have one.
Failing that download the trial XDPX and use that.

Are these vector shapes? Or is this a bitmap?
What does the original image look like?
If the image is a bitmap with a white background, I would use the Select Colors to Edit and make the white background invisible.
Then using the Shape Tool, create an outline of the image, fill white and send it behind the bitmap.
Hi Bob,
It looked familiar so I checked Pixabay. If you don't want to spend time on cleanup, here's the link:

I went there but the image shows the gray/white background but when I download it it's gone. Now I'm really confused.Quote:

So basically what your saying if it's a true PNG the gray/white background won't show up, but because it was a JPG it stayed.Quote:

Check this Xara file created after importing the original svg artwork.

I suggest you directly search and download transparent images on the internet.
There are a lot of free transparent HD image sites here.
Just use it after downloading.
Recommend some popular transparent image download sites:

But I need to remind you that if you use a copyrighted transparent image,
be sure to explain the source of the image to avoid unnecessary copyright troubles.

i know this is a fairly old thread but I think you can do this with Xara if you know what you are doing. and a reasonable knowledge of perspective.but it would be far easier in to do in another program such as Google SketchUp for instance.
Larry - I think the member who started this thread was asking if Xara could creating a image with no background.
As Moderator I have removed the links from the previous posts to PNGs with transparent backgrounds. This thread is about a technique and not a source.
