Derek, your suggestion worked perfectly...in light of that; didn't get to try your idea Mike, but thanks for responding.

Hi,
I need to produce a PNG image that will be used as a menu bar that has a shadow effect on the top side only. The image will ultimately be just 1 pixel wide and then be repeated as required to...
Thanks Steve,
I figured it might have been broken; but just wanted to confirm it wasn't me. The new toolbar icon is easier I guess, so no harm done
Thanks

Hi,
I've used all versions of Xara since "X" and am now on Pro 4. Has something been done to the cropping functionality in the image editor I need to know about? When cropping an image (double...
Hi,
Does Xara 3D have any functionality that isn't in Xtreme Pro 4? I have both, but wonder now if it's worth installing Xara 3D
Thanks
Patrick
Thought you all might like to know how this all panned out.
In the end, I decided to use just the standard "Print" function, printing to a PDF creator (PDF-XChange). The colours in Xara were...
You're right Jimi the UK is a bit far for business cards :( Thanks anyway
Patrick
Yes thank you Charles...I fear I have unleashed a monster with this topic
I have been doing more research as some of you have suggested and succeeded in plumbing ever greater depths of confusion ...
Thanks Jimi
The prints are pretty straightforward at this stage e.g. Business Cards, without bit maps. When it gets more complicated we may well move to a different printer.
I think what I'm...
OOPS! My apologies Charles, I should have clarified...I selected the PDF/X option in the first Dialog, then selected "Advanced" and got to the PDF Export Options Dialog. From there I selected Adobe...
So Charles are you saying that notwithstanding I select "RGB" in PDF/X the
output is in fact still CMYK? So it is an input setting rather than output? That doesn't seem right somehow given it would...
Yes that's right, when CMYK settings are used in PDF export the colours appear very dull when viewed on screen in a PDF (refer my first post) and that's pretty much how they print too.
However...
That's what I would have thought, but that's not happening (that's the whole problem). The PDF printer (not export) from Xara IS producing true CMYK hardcopy...the colours in Xara were nominated as...
OK, well now the plot thickens...thanks for that Sledger.
If I print to PDF (instead of exporting) i.e. using a PDF Print Driver the colours are correct i.e the screen views of XARA and the PDF...
PDF X-Change Viewer or Acrobat; doesn't make any difference. And I can't see any adjustments in them that impact this
Thanks Guys, but you may be misunderstanding my problem...
I have no issue with how the colours are representing on the screen; I know they're quite different. My problem is that the printed...
Hi,
I am using Xtreme Pro V4 and am exporting to PDF to provide print-ready CMYK
When I print direct from Xara the colour is pretty well a perfect match to the hard copy CMYK colour chart I...
I'm afraid I've run the white flag up on this one. I downloaded and tried slicing in Inkscape and it works like a charm. Makes you realise just how hard Xara has made it.
Thanks Again Guys...
Yes that's the reason! Thanks Paul, although for my current exercise it may not be that critical, but I recall now that the original slicing I did, over a year ago now and not using the "export...
Thanks Egg for going to that trouble...that's really clarified it for me. Said like that it's obvious (but before that it wasn't!). I have learned to be sensitive to X and Y in getting fonts pixel...
Guys,
Thanks for all your help on this; I am now pretty convinced we are contending with a bug here. However, just to make sure I wonder if you could test my drawing to see if you get the same...
Thought I'd add this reference here in case you "Image Slicers" have anything new to add. I've had this slicing issue going for a while and would appreciate any advice. At my current rate of...
Me Again!...
I'm now starting to do slicing in anger (literally as it turns out) and have discovered that the sizes of the exported images are different to the Guide boxes with the net result the...
In trying to get it to NOT work, I tried it without editable shapes, without grouping the Objects, turning on/off various layers, selecting different layers prior to export, turning background on and...
So now I have it working...the scary thing is, I have no reason why!
I was able to make your drawing work and then I reproduced it exactly and it wouldn't work. I played around for hours and then...
