Having Troubling Placing Transparent PNG Logo file in Xara Web Designer Pro

[Acorn]

I am facing the same issue @Younique
I would like to see this beautiful feature back in Xara, since downloading/importing all pictures just takes longer, when you could just have copy/pasted the image, as we were supposed to do before.
Please guys, can someone bring this to the developers or I should raise a case for enhancement for such requests?

Can you be very specific here and describe the editor program used, the colour profile (RGB, CMYK) of the PNG and what does import properly?

Can you supply a url of a png that shows this problem?

Let me show an example.

Example Image from Google (Doge )

1) Right-Click the image from Google and select "Copy image"
2) Paste in Xara directly


1) Right-Click the image from Google and select "Save image as"
2) Import in Xara from "Insert > Image > From file"


When imported, the background of PNGs is not taken in place, but when you copy/paste directly (without import) it is there.
This wasn't like this in Xara Web Designer 9/10 and I am disappointed, that is missing here

If this is a bug, you can start a thread in the "Dear Xara..." forum. This will increase the likelihood of Xara devs noticing it.

Thanks for the link Kamen. Whether I Copy & Paste or Save & Import it comes in with transparent background, no Blask fill.

Let's see if others are having issues or not.

Well, I can confirm that it works as expected in Xara Web Designer 10 Premium but not in the 365 variants.

I used http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/.../0/05/Doge.png in the File > Import from web address option and it works as expected in all versions.

Further, I've found Copy & Paste from Firfox pastes as expected. However Copy & Pasting from Chrome & Edge has the Black background.

What browser are you using Acorn?

Looking at the two images Copy & Pasted, for some reason the one copied from Chrome is imported as a jpg ??? NOTE: I didn't change the inage sizes or optomised.

Chrome, but I get different results with different Xara versions so I'm not thinking it's the browser.

Yes, copying from Chrome & Pasting in XDPX10 retains the transparency.
