Hi all,
Im not sure if im missing something here, but isn't .tiff supposed to support transparency?
Exporting to .tiff format we cant make the background transparent ?!

A transparent tiff file requires an Alpha channel. As far as I know, Xara X¹ does not support alpha channels in tiff files. Not all graphics programs support alpha channel tiffs, older versions in particular.

Thanks for the reply Bill.
Does XaraXPro support Alpha channel in tiff files ?
I just now checked Xtreme Pro to see if it supported transparent tiff and from the export dialog box, it does not. No colour depth option that has alpha channel.

Bill...am I right that currently transparency is supported only in GIF and PNG, among those commonly used on web pages?

Yes Will, that is correct.
There is a Jpeg2000 image format that supports transparency, but I don't know of a program that currently supports it. There are probably some out there, but I don't know of them.
