Xara :: Outline Art And Color With Photoshop Elements?
Sep 26, 2011
I'm creating an image using characters from known brand, and I have to match the colors exactly. In Photoshop Elements, I can use the Color Picker to obtain colors directly from an image online. I'm not sure I can do that with Xara. But Elements doesn't have a vector pen, which Xara does, so what I'd like to do is outline my images using Xara and color them in with Elements.
Can I do that? Will there be any "technical difficulties"?

when I use the shape tool and text tool I'm getting a red dotted outline instead of the usual black outline. If I draw a rectangle it's empty, instead of shaded in? How do I put things back to normal?

I manually trace around a large, not to simple, shape, hoping my outline will be a closed shape, but sometimes it's not. I assume there's an unintentional break in it somewhere. How can I find the break and fix it without doing the trace again?

is it possible maybe to slice a shape which has a outline, but on a way that after the slicing, the two new shapes will not have individual outlines?
Slice_shapes.xar
Basically I can execute that if the outline is created by Contour tool, but is it possible that for shapes with outlines?

I'm struggling to do the most simple thing - draw a circle outline. In PSE, all you have to do is hit the circle marquee button, then use Stroke. But how the heck do you do it in Xara?

I've been using Xara Photo and Graphic designer for about a week now to design some characters for a game I'm working on and in general find it great to use as a freehand authoring tool.
In order to develop a cartoon style, I'm building my characters out of free hand coloured objects with black outlines with cel shading made from partial masked clones of the objects. This works a treat until I come to put two of the objects together and want to erase part of the outline on the topmost object where it meets the underlying one.
I thought I'd found a solution with a tip on the Xara site (at the top of the page here) where you draw the outline portion you want and combine with a second object then break the objects again. This pretty much achieves what I want, I get a filled object with the outline broken where I originally left it, however, things start to go wrong when you attempt to mask clone a part of the object you've created (for example, to produce a shaded portion of the underlying object) as it's still a line and not a shape, so the mask clone gets confused and doesn't cut out the intended area.
This must be a pretty regular requirement, particularly for people creating flash animations, so I'm sure I must be missing something or going about the construction of the image in the wrong way.

How do I draw an stroke/line around an rectangle shape and let it be "INSIDE of the rectangle". Like in Photoshop in the stroke layer effects.
What I have so far: I am aware of the "line" option. BUT it paints the stroke OUTSIDE of the rectangle and extends its size. This is NOT what I would like to have.

I have Designer Pro 7. Is there a way to get the outline of an object to take on the graduated fill transparency of an object? The line goes transparent with the object's fill when a linear transparency is applied, but remains opaque with a graduated one. I understand that I could turn the outline into an object and then apply the transparency but if I have to edit the object later, I would have to repeat the process.

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?

I have used Xara designer for years as its generally easier to use, but still can't work out hot to easily create the Outline Path and the pathfnder merge shapes function as in Illustrator. The idea is to have a block of text with an outline round the outside of the whole text, but separated from the text characters.
In illustrator the sequence is:
Write text and select then create outlines
Then Object, Path, Outline Path.
Then using the pathfinder utility, merge the outlines into one.
In Xara Designer, I can change text to shapes, but not generate an outline other than a line that hugs each character.

When I add an outline to a shape, it always seems to build itself from the center of the line. Can I set my outline (line as opposed to fill) to be outside, middle, or inside my shape?

I have been working on a document and reached a point where whenever I entered regular text, it showed as an outline of broken red lines (like a regular guidline). Changing fill and color etc has no effect. I can open a new document and enter text with normal results,but not in the existing document.

I still use Corel Draw 12 and my question is is there an easy or automatic way to make the outline color of an object the same color as the fill color? I do it the hard way of trial and error until I get the right outline color from the color dock/pallette.

Set the Trace Bitmap so that the outline color defaults to the same as the fill color on the resulting curves? Currently, resulting curves have to be edited one color at a time to give them hairline outlines with the same color as the fill. It's mighty tedious for complex vector art.

I am using Xara's Photo & Graphic Designer for the first time and slowly getting acclimated to the program after using Ulead's Photo Impact for 6 years.
Just one really basic question. I have three elements in my final design: two seperate lines of text surrounded by a black outline. To save this as a single graphic (.gif format), what do I need to do? With Ulead all I had to do was select all, right click and select merge as one, then simply save in whatever format I wanted to the destination of my choosing.
Is there a similar "merge as one" command in Xara or do I select each element in my graphic, then choose save from the file menu?

I need to give my business card file to my printer to print, and for some reason I cannot find the convert text to shape option (it is not visible under layer-type as all my googling suggests). I basically need to do this as the printer doesn't have my font.

I'm changing the background color of some sculpture pics from white to black. I prefer to change lighting/color as opposed to removing/replacing background. Looks more natural for my needs. And it's quicker...But I can't seem to get my edges around sculpture perfect. (or even close) I always get a thin outline (halo?) around the object. I use all of the refine edge tools, but still not great. I want to keep a crisp edge between background and object, so I don't want to feather...I'm using elements 11.

What I am trying to do is check if a shape does not match a known set of values. If it does not it will run code where the "If msgbox" is at. What I have works if my line or object has a Cyan outline. The issue I am having is when it is checking a line that is any other color that doesn't have Cyan = 100, it errors out.
Below is what I am trying to use.
Sub Start() Dim s As Shape Dim sr As ShapeRange ' ActivePage.Shapes.All.CreateSelection Set sr = ActiveSelectionRange For Each s In sr If s.Type = cdrTextShape Then GoTo s_A If s.Outline.Color.CMYKCyan = 100 Then GoTo s_A If MsgBox("dude", vbOKCancel) = vbCancel Then GoTo s_B s_A: Next ss_B:End Sub
