its an image - you cannot extrude an image in xara, you can only extrude a vector
not sure what you mean by white box?
you would need to remove the background colour, which can be done; and then vectorise the letters assuming these are what you want to extrude which is more tricky unless your image is high resolution
an alternative is to draw around the letters to make the vector shapes
Thanks for your reply
In Psd File I convert this text layer to shape and removed background layer before I import it into Xara but the result still same
Hi ramy88 and welcome to TalkGraphics.
The font you want is named below. Once installed you just type in the text, select it and apply the extrusion. You can download for free @ WhatFontIs
Hi Egg Bramhill's
Thanks for your Welcome and reply
But I don't want to know the font name ... I want to import any psd file into Xara without white box around it to extrude it
Can you attach your psd file as an example?
you cannot do that - a psd file is not a vector file - xara cannot extrude it white box, or no white box, sorry
but egg, bless him, may give you some help ;)
How are you creating your .psd files?
With Adobe Photoshop 2021Quote:

This is the method
Then the font you use to create the .psd can also be used in Xara. As HD points out to extrude an object in Xara it needs to be a Vector. You're overcomplicating the issue ;)
I want to make an example Only and this font is Arabic font ... it is necessary to convert layer in photoshop to shape Not text layer and If I use this font in Xara characters are cutted not joined and also in the other directionQuote:

Thanks for your reply
The white box, I think, is what happens when you try to apply an extrusion to a bitmap.
Exactly .. when i imported a psd file to xara .. it shows as bitmap with the white boxQuote:

I tried to do that via bitmap trace but fail
Vector Magic is an excellent program for converting bitmaps to vector format. But it is not free. $10 US per month or $295 to buy the program.
You can try it out here https://vectormagic.com/ Drag and drop your image onto the page and it will trace the image.
If you only need one image traced, or just a few, subscribe for one month and then you can cancel.
Attached is an extrusion I did from a Vector Magic trace.
Many thanks for your Reply and your effortQuote:

For someone with 12 posts to your name, you really have some nerve suggesting member light-finger a program based on your recommendation. Regardless of the price, how would you feel if you were a programmer and I suggested an illegal way to use your software?
Okay, shaming said, Inkscape has one of the best free auto-tracing engines. Is it as good as VectorMagic? No. Is it more refined and does it generally product better traces than XD? Yes; download my example. Inkscape is not Xara, but then again it's open source and wasn't intended to dominate the field of vectors—but rather to offer a robust entry point for aspiring drawers. People who draw, not where you keep your socks. It's native file format is SVG, a snap to import to Xara.

I used if quite successfully last year until I saved up enough to buy VectorMagic outright. If you do a lot of tracing, you might want to invest in it. If you're a sporadic tracer, I'd suggest Inkscape open source drawing program, or just learn to manually trace—a good skill! :)
My Best,
Gary

And Fool Disclosure with the attached Xara file—I straightened a line or two, and deleted a few control points, but not many; I intend to use thse trace in a design, and there is no auto-trace to date that does its thing flawlessly, not even VectorMagic.
