Using Xara 3D I would like the background colour to remain within the border only so that the final logo is the border and text within, not a rectangle of colour containing the border and text. I cannot find a way to do this...

View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to get a special border effect on my image. It should get a kind of frayed border. With one of my filters, I can get such effect, but only with included white background. But I need it without background, just like if cropped. Is there any way to get that effect?
(I use version Designer 7, but try out ver. 9 now)
Open Xara Designer 7 for Windows - demo version.
1) Create a solid block of colour at an integer coordinate (say 0,0).
2) Make it an integer width and height (say 128 x 128)
3) Export
4) Choose '.png' (or '.jpg' - the same effect will manifest)
5) Zoom into the preview and see the weird discoloured edges produced
Alternatively, do the same thing with 'Create Bitmap Copy' and observe the same results.
I'm aware that if you have non-integer sizes/positions it anti-aliases, but this isn't supposed to happen if you rectify these.
[Edit: I think I found out what it was: on my Pro version, I have the option to minimise anti-aliasing, which might well be the issue. Oddly, I can't reproduce the problem at all on my Pro version, but only on my brother's demo version!]
Ive found a way to create a border, just adding the 3d extrude tool, and it works quite well, however adding a drop shadow to the image looks cool to. I have exported the image as a jpg, however on my siote there is this white background. How do I lose this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedA while ago, I wanted to add a border in the background color around a layer. So, I increase Layer Boundary Size using the corresponding tool. So far so good. I even wrote into a script, combined with adding drop shadow, see [URL].......
Then, I bought a new computer. I knew it. Never update or upgrade.
Now, when I increase the layer boundary size, it does increase the size of the layer, but the "border" is now transparent. I know, I know, I can fill it up using the bucket fill tool, but first of all this is annoying, and second of all, I am really wondering: what happened? Why did it work before, and doesn't it work now anymore? I am baffled. I see three possibilities:
- The GIMP installation on my new computer has some global setting differently which I am missing
- GIMP was updated and this has changed
- this is a bug, or at least a quirk, having something to do with old computer running on Win7 and new computer running on Win8
is it possible for a gif's transparent background to extend past its border?when I say border, I mean the black border that frames the image in photoshop...
I ask because I seem to be getting a space beneath my image when I embed into my web page and I've taken care of the html side of things (all padding and margins set to 0px, etc.)...
In lightroom 3 I had a border around any photo in loupe view when I dimmed the background using the "L" key (seen only when dimmed). I don't remember ever setting it, it just seemed to come that way. I cannot get this border (which really worked to separate the photo from the background) anymore. I tried all preferences and tried to find this out in Lightroom Help before submitting this question. The border looked like the one you can add in the print module. I notice that when using the "L" key to dim, I also lose the ability to display the information overlay, even when cycling through the "I" key. Am I overlooking a setting or is this just a change to LR4?

Can I take an image and make it sewn to the background? I'm using Xara Xtreme 4 (not pro). The reason is that I want to have an image OVER which I place various objects. But I am routinely selecting the background by mistake and moving it. It would be nice to do two things:
1. (as I said) lock/sew/staple (what's the term?) an image to be the unmovable background.
2. This would obviously require me to size and crop the image first to be the page.

how a png image sometimes has a checkerboard background instead of a dull white square background?Those png's are cool to import into Xara and have a smooth outline.
why is it when i EXPORT a png with the checkerboard background the outline looks like an 8 bit nintendo outline when placed on a website? These type of pngs with the checkerboard background are meant to be viewed as having no background...which actually works for me but the outline looks horrible.
what do i need to do to fix that outline issue? Is there some sort of setting that i have to tweak?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to create a fade-style edge transition that works regardless of the background the object is placed on. I've tried the blend tool and the shadow tool.
The blend tool gave a good result on a colored background, but it was terrible when the object is moved over anything lighter. The shadow tool was better at handling differences, but I can't find a way to make the shadow the proper color. I need the object's color to just edge-fade into whatever background it is on.
Been working on this one for a while. Tried some searching on the site here, but I just haven't found a good solution for my needs.

If you have Designer Pro 9 you can easily create custom keyboard shortcuts and assign a single keystroke to the Mask Painter tool and the Eraser tool. This makes switching between them while prepping a photo for background removal much easier.
I've been using A for the Mask Painter and X for the Eraser Tool, I find that these work nicely and shift will toggle between adding to or removing from the mask or erasure. I also use the spacebar to pan while I'm prepping.
