One of the functions I never conquered in Xara was using guides, snapping and setting up the parameters for them. I export almost exclusively as PNG and most of my images have a semi-transparent pixel edge around them because I am not exactly on full-pixel. this makes it almost impossible to make seamless tiles.
I remember having a link to one of Gary's tutorials about grids and snapping. Does anyone have other tutorials that they know of that might help me or are favorites of your's? I'd love to figure this out. If you know where I can find Gary's tutorial again I'd be grateful too.
When I've tried different grid parameters they did no seem to work for me. I think I'm doing something wrong.
I use Xara5Pro and work on 800x600 pixel workspaces and 2550x3300 pixel workspaces (US letter size), depending on what I'm doing. I'd like to make 600x600 seamless tiles....heck, I'd just like to learn how to snap to a grid so any size comes out without that semi-transparent border.
Thanks bunches.
