I didn't succeed for some reason to export the picture with transparent background but the MEHDI plug-in did the job well.

I wonder why I had to use the plug though.

It still exports with a white background.

I happened to change the color of the bitmap to transparent, then the background gets, well... transparent, but there's also a degradation of quality....

I get an error message when trying to do that:

"Xara could not export an image map because no objects were suitable. Try applying Web Adresses to objects or making shapes closed"

Gary, I missed your post.

Yes, it was the view quality which made the picture look unsharp or "pixely".

I think a regular bitmap trace was enough this time actually but I'll see if your way can...

Thank you for your ideas, I appreciate it!

I tried tracing it - and it turned out really well. To shape it by hand was very difficult and also very time consuming.

Now I have another question...

I found a small app (IrfanView) that let me set the color depth and it pretty much ruled out alot of marks. The rest of the I edited out - not using Xara this time but Serif PhotoPlus 6 which is a...

Thanks for all the tips! I'm looking into it now.

Very nice video tutorial. Great!

I have some music sheets I want to scan and then edit a little to get rid of some marks and some other problems. Is this a task for Xara or should I use a pixel editor á la Photoshop (I've been using...

Yeah, the PNG pictures I've taken with SnagIt are really good. I'll stick to that.

Thanks,

Which file format would be the best touse if I intend to get it into print? I've been saving a few pictures as .png - is that good?

Thank you, Joe!

That application works great. Wonderful.

Thanks for all your comments.

I will get back to work to see what and how I will do from here.

I do realize there is no other option than using absolute positioning.

Do you leave it at absolute positioning or do go into the html code in order to fix it?

I'm simply wondering since I've...

So it would be possible to do an entire website in only Xara Xtreme 4? No need for additional coding? I knew a little html but I'm quite rusty now but also, the code Xara generates was a bit messy I...

I was very delighted to see that Xara now has direct export to html. While I'm sitting here trying it out I find that the positioning Xara makes is always absolute. How do you deal with that?

Thanks! I got it.

I'm not sure if it has an outline. Is there an easy way to find out?

I downloaded the free PhotoPlus 6 but I haven't tried it yet - I might do it later today. PhotoPlus 8 is $9.99 (US).

You wouldn't know whether Photoshop techniques can be applied in Photoplus?

Thank you all for your inpuit and thoughts.

I've started using Paint.NET a little to do a few tasks. I could get started much easier with Paint.NET than I could with The GIMP or Serif PhotoPlus 6...
