Xara :: Transparency For The Web
Mar 17, 2011I have no problem with transparency in Xtreme. I cannot seem to get it to translate to the internet. When I convert to PNG or Gif I get no transparency just a black rectangle.

Xara :: PNG Transparency In PGD 9 Vs 2013
Jun 28, 2013I have an image that I need to export as a PNG with a transparent background.
In PGD 2013 it works fine - PNG is saved with a transparent background.
However, in PGD 9, it saves with a white (non-transparent) background.
There was a warning dialog about transparency pop up the first time I used PGD 9 to export the PNG, but I can't remember exactly what it said - something about transparency not supported for this type of file I think. I chose to ignore always and I can't find anywhere I can re-enable that option to see if it fixes things.
Xara :: Exporting Object As PNG With Transparency?
Feb 1, 2011Import a photo image which is, for example, 100px high by 500px long. Now apply a simple fade transparency from the left edge to 100% transparent 100px in from the left edge (i.e. 400px of the image's length is now 'invisible').
Export this as a png and then import this png. It will still be 100 x 500 - can you tell Xara export the image truncated down just the 'visible' portion (i.e. 100 x 100)?
Xara :: Transparency On Contour Object
Sep 10, 2013How to make a Contour object transparent? In below example is set a 1 step contour on the star, setting transparency the yellow is transparent but the grey not.
Contour_Transp.xar
I am aware that the star could be turned to editable shape, after clone and subtract so the transparency could be controlled on both shapes, but is there maybe some other way?
Also could be a way of course to set outline for the star and not contour, but I do not like as in that case the line half inside and half outside of the shape.
Xara :: Palette Shifting With Hue Transparency
Jan 5, 2012this is not rocket science either [nothing much I do is, is it ] and to some it will be well known
to others it might be instructive, and if nothing else it's a free 'complementary-complement' palette [ couldn't resist that ]
Xara :: How To Print And Export Transparency
Jul 4, 2013Reading the Help document it says that transparency in a document is rendered as a bitmap when printing because PostScript can't handle it. This is also the case when exporting to certain file formats.
Isn't there a better solution to this? There are some truly magnificent tools in Xara and I'm sure this means that the technology is there to render documents in a suitable form when printing and exporting.
I've just tried to get a simple logo using some flat transparency from Xara into a Microsoft product and the transparent parts have given me big headaches as I want a true vector solution. The only way I found to work was going via Adobe Illustrator. If Illustrator can do it then why can't Xara? Isn't there some way that Xara can analyse the parts with transparency and create new vector objects where possible?
How does everyone else handle this - do you all simply ignore the transparency tool and work without it?
Xara :: Linear Transparency Not Affecting Lines
Jan 26, 2011When I apply simple flat transparency to a line, or a shape with an outline, it becomes translucent - as expected.
But when I apply a linear (or circular / elliptical / conical etc) transparency, only the fill is affected, and the line remains opaque

Xara :: How To Export Alpha Transparency Properly
Aug 8, 2013I think this is related to Xara's inability to export alpha transparency properly. I've talked about this before, somewhere. Feel free to find the old post.
The thing is, without a decent export the feature is largely useless isn't it? .Xar is almost never the destination format.
I can get round the edges issue by printing to PDF instead of exporting, but then the bounds of the original bitmaps are visible. So neither solution is any good at all. Surely this is a massive problem?
Xara :: Black And White Transparency Corners?
Apr 20, 2011Designer Pro 6: I've made round cornered pix for a catalog. I export as a PNG and the corners show black in the Web app I'm using, but they are transparent so it's OK. The last set of pix were done in Xara Xtreme 5, when I exported those as PNGs the corners were white, and the transparency was OK. My question is why the white or black corners, and is there something I can do that will control that? I used the same approach in Designer as in Xtreme 5.

Aug 31, 2011This is probably super simple. I do a lot of transparency stuff for the Web. My background color for the most part turns out to be black. I get my transparency but the program I'm using at the moment does a cleaner job with white. When it's black I see a little trash of black around the edge of the graphic. In the past I've come up with white quite by accident and it was clean as a whistle. I'm exporting as PNG, True Color + Alpha.

Jul 24, 2011I have been meaning to cover this in one of the Workbooks and maybe some day I will remember.
I cloned the original photo, applied a Circular, Stained Glass transparency to the clone, moved the center of the transparency over the Datura blossoms, reduced the diameter, and reversed the settings.
In a few seconds I dramatically changed the photo.
I cloned the second photo of dramatic smoke from the recent wildfire, applied a vertical Linear, Stained Glass transparency to the clone, starting at the dark portion of the bottom of the cloud at 0% and ending just above the mountain tops at 100%.
Again, in less than the time it would take to open Photoshop, I had dramatically enhanced an already dramatic photo.

I'm try to design pages for photo book in Xtreme. I have set of files in PNG format as "frames" for photos. For example, I attach one (14_v.png) to this message.

View 9 Replies View RelatedXara :: Copy / Paste Original Images And Converting To Reflections By Using Transparency Tool?
Jan 26, 2011I am having problems trying to produce an image with reflections. I have been doing it in the past with Xara4. My procedure is to take a number of images, create copies of them, flip them then add transparency once they are in place as refelctions. These are all placed onto a dark background; reflections are stretching beyond the background at this stage. And in the past if I select all, then Arrange>Combine Shapes>Intersect Shapes then I can have the whole image without the transparent regions of the reflections. My plan is to have the background transparent and save all as a png to preserve the transparency on web. But it doesn't seem to happen in my latest attempts. Instead at the Intersect Shapes stage I get a tiny part of the background as my final image....

Sep 10, 2006I have two pictures.
I would like the two pictures to blend in the middle from left to right.
The picture on the left will be sharpe on the left side but fade/transparent by the time it reaches the middle.
The picture on the right will be sharpe on the right side but fade/transparent in the middle.
I would think I need a gradient transparency (you always have to use a color)
I see pictures like this all the time, but can not seem to find the correct feature or combinations of features.
Photoshop :: Transparency
Jan 19, 2008In Coreldraw there is a transparency tool which allows you to merge one photo into another - not like layers on top of each other, but overlapping along the edges, so that the outer edges of each pic are unaffected, and the central area is like a mixture of each pic. You could do something similar in Photoshop elements using the Gradient tool, but the gradient tool in CS2 doesn't seem to work the same way.
At the moment, I'm having to join/blend two pics in Coreldraw, save the result as a jpeg, and then open the resultant file in CS2 to continue working.
In Coreldraw the little tool is called 'Transparency'-'Fountain' I can't believe CS2 can't do something similar.
Photoshop :: Transparency?
Aug 12, 2008How do I make a background transparent? For example I made a document with just my name...Kim. I don't want there to be a rectangular/square or ANY kind of background...just that word, nothing around it, nothing behind it. How do I do that? Before you answer...
I've tried it by putting the document settings at "background>transparent". But when I came across it in my documents folder, it had a background around it. I've thought about selecting the word, and putting it onto a new, "transparent" document, but it doesn't seem to me that would help if it doesn't work when you set the background to transparent on the ORIGINAL and having it not turn out. Don't know what to do??

Photoshop :: Gif Transparency
Jan 14, 2003I want to make a very simple sig, text only, no effects or anything. Basically, I just don't like the available fonts that I can use for an html sig on the board I post on ;p Anyways, I save the file as a .gif with transparency and when I tested it out in an HTML file, it showed up fine, but that was only with a white background. When I changed the background color to anything other than white, the text had white pixels around it. Could anyone give some pointers on how to get rid of those pixels around the text? It wouldn't be a problem if the board background color was white, but it's blue. I also tried saving as a .png, same result.
