what are some thing to check when following this tutorial, and the imported PNG will not show as a repeating (or at all) background image?

" Click on the Bitmap Gallery icon. In the Bitmap Gallery, select the background image and press the Background button. "
The default image also does not work.
16 bit color PNG
To be clear: CTR + Dragging the image does work.
This is an anomaly that i've noticed for several versions of Xara. example: type tool> type a word, 8pt
Artistic Text looks correct 8pt size but, When scaling the type by dragging from any corner node the text will stretch vertically! I then have to go back and resize the type.
I've spent most of today doing some print design in xdp7, I like the software a lot especially the live effects, however there seems to be a problem I'm experiencing using them in that once I have used an effect, xdp7 adds a load of white space to my image, like thousands of pixels, obviously I customised the size of the image before I began, and when I export the image it reads some of the time as the desired size, and some of the time the much larger size. I've tried cropping but it doesn't make any difference, I've tried changing the image size in the utilities option, but still the image I created is there along with the white space.
So how do I make sure what I save is just what I am creating, and how do I stop this from happening or counteract it. Also why does it do this?
i'm currently working on a header. I've created a tiling background image, 6*6px gif, and I was wondering whether it's possible to insert this, tiled, into the header image. The reason I wanted to do this is because the header contains gradients and looks nasty in gif, so I can't really use transparency. However I don't want to have to manually duplicate the tile a billion times.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using GIMP for a while but it's just recently I've come across this issue as I have to deal with something I've never done before. I have a .gif that I want to tile across the canvas of an image to use as a background. Then I have a normal image I want to show on top of that. The main issue seems to be the tiling, as when I export the whole thing as a gif, it plays each iteration of the gif before going onto the next one. I want to know how I can get them all to play at once.

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.
I have Pro7 and I am trying to edit a graphic. I want to remove the background color (white), or pop out an image.
In my old program (not xara) I could just click on the area/color, it turn pink and then click finish it would erase. Is that possible with this program?
How do I make a Background Image with multiple lines like something similar to the example? I want to make a background for a car repair firm where I can place cars on top.

I'm using Photo & Graphics Designer 7. Recently I've had the problem of the program no longer exporting PNG images I create with transparent backgrounds. They all have a box containing whatever color background I'm using at the time. I am selecting only the object I want to export.
View 8 Replies View RelatedThis 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.
