    Default logo turns black

    Hi,

    Do you know why a logo turns black when you copy the image in the browser and place it in xara?

    the logo shows good on the website: see pic.

    But when I right mouse click and copy the image and paste it in xara it turns out black. Has it something to do with png?

    I'm Curious.

    Thanks,
    Frits

    it will depend I think on how the PNG alpha [transparency] is organised

    if for example it was made with the traditional 'photoshop/animation' alpha channel then xara cannot read this and it will appear black - xara organises PNG alpha in a different way

    followup

    it works ok for me from firefox/chrome [assuming this is the site:https://www.veerkrachtlunteren.nl/ to xara pro 15.1

    so it msy be something to do with your xara whichever version set up - there was an issue with transparency from web in the past as I recall, sorry I can't be more helpful

    If you use Import from web address: www.veerkrachtlunteren.nl, the image loads in perfectly.

    It is sitting in the Bitmap gallery.

    there was something about a registry key overiding transparency a while back - but that would have brought it in true colour [white] not black i would have thought

    Well, there is this extensive Thread: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...b-Designer-Pro.

    I do recall Microsoft jettisoning Alpha-channel on copy & paste as being as issue on its Snipping Tool. Perhaps this is a carry over?

    I think the Registry fix is at https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...211#post604211.
