Xara :: Working With Photo Masks In Designer Pro X9?

Jan 23, 2014

I had no problem working with and feathering masks in Designer Pro 9. However the upgrade to Pro X9 has made "improvements" that I cannot figure out.

I have a photo in which I want to blur and darken the background while leaving the subject person clear and bright.

I used the mask painter tool to mask out the person, so far so good. I used the picture editing tools to blur and de-bright the unmasked portion. So far, so good.

The result had (of course) too hard an edge between the masked and unmasked portions of the image.

How can I soften (feather) the edge of the mask? OR how else should I be trying to accomplish this task?

To repeat, I could do this just fine in Pro 9, but in Pro X9 I just can't seem to find out how to do it.

Xara :: Photo And Graphic Designer 2013 To PDF?

Nov 6, 2013

I've just converted an A3 double sided file containing 100% text in 22 varying languages. The Xara a/w looks perfect but when I view the .PDF convertion it has added squares with a cross inside to several of the foriegn languages where there should be spaces. I've tried varying the .pdf convertor set-ups but to no avail.

Xara :: Can't Download Designer Pro 7 Or Photo And Graphic?

May 28, 2011

I have tried three times today to download both Xara Designer Pro 7 and Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 7 from both the US and English web pages. In all cases, all I get is a small 3.5 mb file. When I click on the file, i get a spinning astrix that spins for 5 minutes then times out.

I was going to buy Xara Designer Pro 7 upgrade tonight, but since this happened, I'm holding off till I know that the software works on my system

System specs: Win 7 Home Premium, 8 gb ram, ATI Radeon 3750 512 mb ram.

Xara :: Setting Graphics And Photo Designer 6 For 300 DPI Before Export

Jan 18, 2011

I have Xara Graphics and Photo Designer 6. I've mainly used it for web graphics but now I am doing some print work with it.

I want to set up the page so that it is 300 dpi. Then design the graphic and then export it.

However I am confused on how to do this.

It appears the way Xara is set up you design the graphic and then during export you tell it how many DPI you want it.

The problem is if I select 300 dpi during export, the resulting export is much too big.

I am sure I am doing something wrong. It seems to me there must be a way to set up the page before creating the graphic to 300 dpi (or whatever dpi you plan to export it in... right?)

Xara :: Photo And Graphic Designer 7 - Layer Modes

Oct 30, 2011

I am wondering if Xara supports layers in the same way as my other graphics programs. I am able to bring a bitmap into a layer over another bitmap layer and by applying a particular mode, lets say Overlay or Soft Light, it will change the appearance of the new layer. By doing this I build up new designs for digital papers.

I am working on a graphic design project - a print publication for a client. The original Word document that is the basis for the report contains footnotes. Insofar as I am able to do so, I would like to retain my client's structure, including the footnotes. Is this feasible with P&GD 6 or version 7? I cannot find any reference to "footnote" in the help provided with my installation.

Xara :: Photo And Graphic Designer Manual Not Readable On IPad?

Jan 28, 2012

why the PDF manual that comes on the Xara CD cannot be read on my iPad2. I have tried both Ibooks and GoodREader. Images and pages display, but the text is rendered as blurry black smudges. It's such a shame since I like to have my documentation beside my screens and use my monitors for palettes and the main window. Is it a problem with my copy and is there a way to get a working PDF?

Xara :: How To Create Narrower Copy Of Text Object With Photo / Graphics Designer

Feb 27, 2013

If I create a text object, then copy and duplicate, how do make the width of the duplicate text smaller whilst maintaining the length of the object. I have worked out that I can use borders around text to create a smaller version however the effect is not suffice.

Effectively what I want to achieve is the 'feather' effect that reduces the width but retain the overall shape and dimension without any distortions.

Xara :: How To Open SVG In Designer Pro

Nov 18, 2011

What is the easiest way to open/import SVG files in Xara Designer Pro?

It's funny you can export as SVG but I cannot find SVG format when importing graphics.

My current workaround is to open SVG files in Illustrator, select, copy, jump over to Xara and paste as enhanced metafile. But what if I don't have Illustrator?

Xara :: Export To PDF From Designer Pro 7

May 12, 2012

When ever I export to PDF from Designer Pro 7 a graphic ends up in the PDF file that isn't any where in the Xara doc. It happens on most files exported from Xara but not all. It also happens on both my laptop and my desktop PC. I'm pretty sure it used to happen in WD6 so it may stem from there.

I've attached a PDF exportd from Xara, you shouild hopefully see two black.. um.. cartoonish feet / foot prints. God knows where they came from, I must have imported them at somepoint. You should also notice they only appear on the first page of a document.

I've tried searching for just outlines in Designer pro but nothing.

Is there an .INI file or cache file I can clear?

I haven't tried a re-install yet as it happens on two PC's so can't see it being that.

Xara :: 300 DPI Used In 50-60 Pages In Designer Pro?

Oct 10, 2013

does the new xarapro have a linked feature for placing 300 dpi images into a 50-60 pages? If not, is it even possible to have that many pages with those numbers of large size pictures? Just wanted to know if others have done such a thing. Also if possible, can a large document be divided into number of xara files and then exported as pdf and put together in adobe acrobat to make a large output for printers?

Xara :: Designer Pro X9 - Text Resize

Jul 17, 2013

If I type some text, then select the 'Selector Tool', then use the middle 'bounds handles' to resize.I would expect the text to be stretched.But, what I get is resizing in both horizontal and vertical directions. As if I was using the corner 'bounds handles'.

It works as I would expect in Designer Pro X.Is there a setting I've missed somewhere?

Xara :: Animated GIF Ghosting With Web Designer

Feb 22, 2011

I noticed that animated gif that I put into other web builders load fine, show cleanly.Yet when put into XDP6, the same graphics get a ghosting effect.In other words, after letters have cleared the screen, a remaining unintended outline remains. The graphics are clean in previews, viewing directly, using other web builders, or on other sites built with other software.

Today I visited the New Features page for X3D7 and had the same issue with the gif on that page too. (attached screenshot for reference)I am using win7/64bit, 8gb ram, hi-speed internet connection, don't have anything set in the browser and no browser "helper" that is adjusting image quality. This problem is only seen in Internet Explorer, not Firefox.Is there a setting in XDP that needs to be adjusted so this doesn't happen?
