So using auto bleed, I get these horrid lines around the image. See pic.
What is happening?
For sake of privacy I pixelated the text.

Xara extends the edges of the photo, and not all that well. For my money I would just post a slightly larger image to compensate for the bleed and remember to keep all live matter (text, etc) in from the edge.
those lines are the crop-marks that have been extended out well beyond the bleed, which is the extended area gary mentioned; no fan of auto [surprised they don't call it 'smart'] myself either
@behzad
You ca deaciviate it by changing the registry-entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Xara\XtremePro x64\17\Options\Filters\PDFXAutoBleed
from 1 to 0.
Thank you. So another useless feature put in by Xara!
it is possibly useful for those who cannot be bothered to do it for themselves ;)
In theory if you have an image that needs to stretch to accommodate the bleed then maybe OK. But it's basically not a solution I would use.
Steve - I think the question was not the crop marks but the obvious banded section of the photo in the bleed area.
fair enough gary.... but why would anyone want their image manipulated in such a way beats me
Speaking from experience of 30 years as a professional graphic designer, who has published numerous print materials and always doing bleed myself, I wanted to try this feature. If a novice uses it, they will get a print that has a dark band where they are being cropped. I am not going to use this half ass feature. Just worried about novices who will suffer the consequences. I always say, if you put in a feature do a good job. Recent example is the new handles.
Those are crop marks, and printers need to know where to cut the page. As far as I can see, what you produced is what the printer wants to see - so you did it right.
