Importing artwork from Photoshop

You can bring artwork from Photoshop (PSD)...

Exactly - I'd like Xara to retain the text as text.

I'm certainly NOT criticizing Xara. I'm trying to avoid buying Illustrator because I have and like Xara!

I'd just like symmetrical treatment...

I can export a PSD from Xara and open it successfully in Photoshop CS3. I can get text to come across as text.

OTOH when I save a PSD from CS3 with text in it, I always get this message "PSD file...

I downloaded a trial of Suitcase. In a limited test it works beautifully with XXP. If I deactivate a font that Xara has up, the font falls back to a default. If I reactivate the font, the font...

Thanks for the great response!

"When opening a document in Xara with missing fonts, i check in xara wich fonts are missing (File->Document Info) and open Font Expert to install them."

Does that...

I am on the verge of springing for a font manager. I have found several discussions on font managers in this forum, but I want to ask those who use them with Xara about the mechanics and work flow.

Yes, and a lot more "cute" stuff.

All I really wanted was for it to handle 16 bit plugins and workflow but that does not appear where they are going.

FWIW - I find it frustrating that PSP won't truly handle 16 bit RGB. My other main...

I want to add a drop shadow to about 40 bitmaps.

I drag and drop these into XX, select them all, and add the drop shadow.

I select them all and go to the Name gallery, but the export button is...

I would like to a bit more about font managment in XX.

Where does the Font list shown come from? Is it simply what is in the windows font folder or from elsewhere?

People in this thread have...

Can someone help me to create a Granger and Gamut chart in Xara per http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/test-charts.shtml?

Thanks Art - I am still looking in the help file for that one! - much appreciated

Thanks to all. This answer is very close to what I was trying to achieve. The key bit I was missing was the notion that gicing the object a point size fixed its size. The window can then be adjusted...

John,

Thanks for your reply. I don't think I was being clear in what I am trying to do. I have no text, just an object. When I scale the frame, the object of course scales; however, when I export...

I have an that I am animating with just lighting. I want to control the size of the background versus the object when I export the animation-- that is, I want to control the ratio of the object size...

I am a Xara X1 user. I downloaded MM 1.1 to try it out. When I double click on the download I get an hourglass for a few seconds and then nothing happens. Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks

Jens - this is wonderful help! It never occurred to me to use a postscript printer to EPS. The resulting quality is great. Thanks you so much for taking the time to explain this in such detail.
