Hi, been a while.
I have Xara3D version 6. When I try to export my text as a PNG it is not transparent and I can't find any controls for selecting transparent. I watched a few tutorials but they are for the newer version. Any help? thanks.

Oh for Heaven's sake. I figured it out....pffft. Thanks anyway.
Thanks for the info on exporting pngs Rik. I'll try it that way too.

Sorry, I'm back. Nope, it doesn't work even when I select 'transparent'.
Here's a screen pic. I used the above settings...ok, wrong pic but I did it with the above settings. When I load the resulting PNG it looks like the center image on black. If I use my magic wand to delete the black in the image it creates the bottom image on orange.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi Nancy, long time no see.
I'm not understanding "Magic Wand" and where the black background is coming from.

OK. I see that speedy Bill has posted just before me.
But, I also don't get any problems when I export as PNG with transparent background.
I have also selected the setting you showed in your post.
Why not post your 3D file and we can see if we get the result you do?

I think Nancy is loading the png into another application that is has a magic wand tool and is displaying the alpha channel as black. Some bitmap editor apps will do that and there is a way to tell the app to correrctly display the alpha channel.
