Hi I work in the latest xara version which is photo & graphic designer. When I save an image I get a strange grey border, I'll try upload it below:

If you save the image and look at it on a white bg you will see it.

Welcome to TalkGraphics
Not sure what I am looking at. But usually the reason for a gray or white fringe around an image is the size of the image. For the web, best to save your image as a True Color PNG and if it has irregular borders True Color + Alpha.
If you are saving your image as 256 colors or less, make sure your image is in even pixel amounts and that the placement on the page is in even pixel amounts.
If you have a transparent background, and are creating an image for a website with a non-white background, then place the image over a rectangle the same color as your background. Select the image but not the rectangle and export as PNG, with transparent background.
Even pixels seem to solve the problem. However, the uneven pixels do no create the border at export when creating and saving at 100% zoom. Is that a bug?
How are you saving the image (JPEG, PNG, 24-bit, 256 or 16 colors)? Need more info.
jpeg and png 24bit same resultQuote:

so far the solution is either save at 100% zoom or save with even pixels at any zoom
Xara anti-aliases images, and this softens the edges as well. So if an image is 125.5 pixels wide, Xara will attempt to blend the image with the background which results in the border issue.
Looks like it. Can you force it to draw shapes with even pixels?Quote:

The solution is to export your graphics for how you will be using them. You can use snap to grid but that limits you.
This might help. http://archive.xaraxone.com/webxealo...k34/page_5.htm
Website graphics? No I'm not web designer, I did dabble during the days of xtreme I just can't remember if I had this problem back then, right now I just make things like infographics...Quote:

Anyway thanks.
