converting photo to a black white img with transparent background image
Hi Folks,
Now I have found big, at least for me, issue because i used it frequently in designer prox10 but it won't work in designer prox16 shame and bad!
1 as on enclosed image i used to take a photo (on the left)
2 then with SATURATION, BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST,
changed the image to grey scale img than with contrast and brightness to a black & white image.
3 now to clear white from the img i used the menu EDIT and with function COPY CLIPPED PHOTO i have
copied the black & white image
4 after that still in menu EDIT i used the function PASTE > PASTE OPACITY MASK IN PLACE that made the
black´&white image to erase all black color from the img
5 now with the new img with black kolor transparent i have just choose the black color a with LMB to make
the transparent back black and the white background automatically became transparent
Voila the new black image with transparent backgroung is done - BUT!
in new prox16 - it does not work!!!
here i take the freedom to swear - what the [deleted by moderator] did xara folks do to the great software xara nothing of importance seem to work in the latest version - God damned!
as xara folks does not care much of us my only hope is that you folks ordinary user like me has any idea ifwhat i have just decribed is possible to do with prox16
i enclose the image on the example if somebody would try to do what i could not manage in prox16
i am devastated about what xara has become from great graphics software to a piece of almost useless software.
cheers
Pawel

I'm not sure if this is what you want but here is what I did.
I took your photo and made a copy at 300dpi (it is better to start with high resolution photo)
I used the Photo Tool > FX > Color > Threshold to achieve the black and white. Experiment with the Threshold settings to make more or less black.
I applied a Flat, 0% Multiply transparency.
Re: converting photo to a black white img with transparent background image
Not an operation I would do in xara, but I would agree with Gary that his method should work [subject to the export limitations of multiply transparency mode, which may be called stained glass in older versions of the program

Create a bitmap copy.
Re: converting photo to a black white img with transparent background image
my memory says that a bitmap copy with alpha may not resolve the alpha issue on export with alpha, but i'd need to check

Re: converting photo to a black white img with transparent background image
hi handrawn thanks for your message actually in prox10 it is very easy to do.
try this:
1 import a photo jpeg png etc
2 make it grey scale with saturation button
3 make it two/thre colors with brightness and contrast buttons
4 copy the image with EDIT > COPY PHOTO se enclosed img
5 paset the copyed imgae with EDIT > PASTE OPACITY MASK IN PLACE see enclosed img
6 while the pasted mask active choos the color black with LMB on color scale
7 done all background is clear and the image is black easy as that
i am so pissed off you can't imagine as for some fucked reason sombody at xara just thrown a way the great function and devastated prox16
what do you say?

Apply Multiply transparency. Then make a PNG + Alpha bitmap.
You can also use Photo Tool > Select Colors to Enhance (top right of screen). Click on the white. Then right click and select Make Transparent.
There are sliders for Tolerance and Fade. Experiment with these.
