I'm starting with sublimation and Xara is my only graphic design program, is that even possible? I know it's an old version but still perfect for my work, and since Xara stole my Xara Designer license I don't plan to buy it again. Just trying to get this color profile thing working.
Thanks
As far as I know this is not possible. I am going to move this thread to Dear Xara which is for bug reports and feature requests. Mike (mwenz) might have a better answer.
I don't. Other than to beat the color management (very) dead horse.Quote:

So, then if Designer Pro X or Photo & Graphic Designer were really "Pro" application they would have color management? Is that correct?
Oh, Gary, are you tempting me to do my typical rant ;))Quote:

However, as you have demonstrated, even with the lack of other "professional" features--like master pages, proper text style support, better paging, better page numbering, etc.,--you produce good books. So there is also the old adage that comes into play much of the time: It is a poor workman...
It's a poor workman who blames his lack of color management. :)
you need the tool[s]
even a skilled artisan cannot work without the correct tools
but Xara, it would seem, want to cater for the masses who wouldn't know an ICC profile if they tripped over one...

Colossal is such a great site. I thank Pauland for turning me on to it. They have so many artists creating such fantastic art in such a wide variety of media. We have a neighbor who publishes our community newspaper. She designed a home in QuarkXpress. Same idea.
Every time I send a file for print, my printers change the color profile on me. So I really do not bother.
