Please include a batch image resize option in Xara Pro, similar to that in Adobe Fireworks. Needs to include list of images, max width or height, rename output file, replace characters in output...

"Import at dpi specified in the image file" makes no difference at all to the default setting.

Problem solved.
In Xara ProX, on the top menu:
Utilities > Screen Capture check the shortcode for direct screen capture, Ctrl + Q
Do Ctrl + Q and it captures as per settings, and if full screen...

The screen size I copy from is 2 x 1680 x 1050, therefore I would expect an image of 3360 x 1050 which is what I get when pasted into Fireworks. In Xara ProX it is reduced in size considerably,...

I want a high quality screen capture image in Xara.
On my PC, if I Print Screen then copy into Xara, the image is small with poor quality at 96dpi.
If I paste the image into Adobe Fireworks its...

Thanks, it works well. In addition I have included a shape with the text by adding shape then applied the contour. Then applies an outline to the contour. In the end much easier than...

I have used Xara designer for years as its generally easier to use, but still can't work out hot to easily create the Outline Path and the pathfnder merge shapes function as in Illustrator. The idea...

Thanks for the suggestion, however we should never be expected to do that. I have just tried, and get the same message when run as administrator. Never had to do that with previous versions, and I've...

Thanks for the useful help guys, just the job. I seet he benefits of both ways, at least now I can make the choice.

This is really annoying, and I can't find a proper solution to it, only a forum thread that talks about the upgrade.web file in programfiles\Xara|Xara_designer_Pro_6\WebFiles\ENG, and to copy to a...

When I open up XDP6, it opens the most recently opened file, how do I prevent this from happening. It didnt happen XEP4.

Bob, thanks that's brilliant!
Thanks for the quick response.
Will it save toolbar changes for each state if I chaneg them - that said I have never needed to change them anyway.

I like the XE5 clear to use interface: black text on white - clear and sharp and easy on the eye. Pro6 looks like its trying to copy the Adobe look - which looks old hat - with white text on black,...

Thanks for all the explanations about png files, however I use a content management system which accepts gif/jpg files (but not png files) both of which are perfectly acceptable file formats for the...

The problem xar file is attahed.
The graphic looks file on the xara page, its when its exported either as a jpg or gif in 5.1pro it becomes banded.

If you look at the mock up JaffDave has done...

Please can some explain what "+alpha" refers to, I can't find a reference to it anywhere in XE4.1P or 5.1P. All I see is True Color for a jpg and various colour options for a gif.

Eric, if by +alpha you mean adding transparency, the rectangle has a gradient fill going from white to the light blue, transparency is not used.

I have now posted a question on the Xara support...

Soquili, Bill

There is a real difference, the one on the left has a wavy line round the top and is lighter at the side edges. The one on the right (which must be the4.1 version) has consistent...

Bill, images attached again.

If I view the 5.1 image at 2000%, it has a banded gradient to the left and right near the left and right edges, the 4.1 image is smooth all the width, and smooth gradient top to bottom.
Export...

Just upgraded from 4.1Pro to 5.1Pro, and now getting a white halo round exported gif and jpg images - didnt do this in 4.1Pro.
Got a whole pixel rectangle 400pix high x 10pix wide, with a gradient...

This thread is useful, but I was getting white halos around a transparent gif created using the Mehdi Eraser classic plug in. The text is multi coloured, and I wanted this on a background jpg - for a...

Just discovered how to get to the plugins in Pro: select the object, then use the electric plud icon, select new then the plugin. The Medhi eraser works excellently - thanks for the help masque.
Lenw

Thanks for these suggestions.
Where do I find the Mehdi Eraser plug in, and how do I know if its installed? I used the XaraPro CD I got from Xara.

I use the shape editor then combine / intersect...

I have an image which is currently on a white background. Imported into Xara Extreme Pro (which I use all the time), I can't find a way to fill the background with a different colour or make...
