Xara :: Auto Detect Foreground Image (non-square / Non-rectangular)
May 23, 2011
I'm new to Xara Photo & Graphic Designer 6 and to graphics in general.
In layman's terms I would like to know how this programme can auto detect a foreground image (any non-square/non-rectangular image), select it and then delete everything else around it.
Whatever is deleted around it needs to be transparent, not white, so that I can copy and paste the sole foreground image into Powerpoint so that the image doesn't end up with a square white background around it (especially when my Powerpoint template has a non white background).
I'm not working with finnicky images or detailed photos. They're mostly two colour stock images like black silhouettes of people against white backgrounds, so I thought that kind of image would be relatively easy to 'smart select' and separate from the contrasting background colour.
Can this Xara programme do this for me? If not, is there any other basic and cost effective programmes that can do this for me? It's literally the only editing function I need in a graphics programme.

I don't even know if this is possible, but I'd like to create an action, script, etc. to detect and stroke a series of lines.
I'm a fingerprint examiner who traces fingerprints in photoshop and some action to make it easier would greatly increase my productivity.

Using: AutoCAD 2004
For some reason unbeknownst to me, my pickbox (and my crosshair aperture) has changed to a rectangle instead of the usual square. My resolution and screen size is all fine, and I've not changed anything in my settings.

This is a very old project and even with more knowledge in 3D, still unable to do it. I have a stool with incline legs using the LOFT command (Extrude with Path can also do it). Now I need to add a tranverse section. I wanted to have the tranverse section same dimension as the leg.
Given the inclination of the leg, it is impossible and futile to align ucs using 3 points or face because there is no 90 deg between the two edges. Further more given there is no extrude to face as in inventor, it is sound difficult to extrude between the "/" form and the "" form of the two legs.
D problem? On geometry, is there a rule to adapt here with respect to section dimension?

I have 6 rectangular photos and I'd like to put each of them on 6 square white backgrounds and then save the resulting images (it's for posting on Instagram - it's crazy that they don't allow you to post rectangles, but there you go). What would the most time-efficient way of doing this be?

Is it possible in Xara to create a non-rectangular text area? For example, I'd like to create circular or oval text areas.

If I am constantly making frames in photoshop for use in the video world (ie. They will be on TV) the pixels need to be rectangular (or 4x3) in aspect and not square.
I know in programs like After Effects and Combustion you can set when saving an image whether or not it is square or rectangular pixels.
How do I do this in Photoshop if it can be done?

Admitting first that AI is my least fav of the Suite.. I should have found this by now. I used to use Direct Select and get a handy info on the toolbar showing me DPI/PPI in placed graphics. I just got an image from a client and am looking for this feature.... Where can I find and add it to my toolbar?

I create a square, 300px by 300px. I duplicate the square, resize to 200px by 200px. Highlight both, press Ctrl-F4 and remove the inside box. What I have left looks like a picture frame. Is there a way to shadow the inside area? (the part I cut out)

I have installed recently the XDPx9 as an upgarde from V8. Now I am facing the folling issue:
Every time I will make blurred edges to a square, this square disappears completely. As long as it is not blurred there is no issue. Strange is, that this phenomena only happens to a square and not to any other shape. I tried several set-ups but all resulted in same issue. The pics attached. Means: Once a square has sharp edges, it is visible in the work-view as well as in the pre-view. Once it has blurred edges, it is still visible in the work-view but disappears in the pre-view. (Even in the browser view it has been disappeared)

how do you create a square with a transparent fill (it has to go around part of a photograph)? I am using DP7. I can create the square with no fill, but how to get a black outline around it (to show that it's a square).

I photographed a framed painting that, despite my best efforts, came out as a trapezoid rather than the rectangle I intended. The image has a slight taper in the sides going from top to bottom. The top of the image is 100% of the canvas width while the bottom of the image is perhaps 95% of the canvas width, so it is close to a true rectangle but not exact. What that means is that the bottom of the photo needs to be stretched by about 5%, the middle needs to be strecthed by about 2.5%, and the top is OK as is. Naturally, the amount of stretch required becomes progresively greater when going from the top to the bottom of the image. I'm new to Photoshop. Is it possible to perform such an image manipulation?

I am trying to insert a photoshop TIFF into a Quark document without background data so that I may overlap images. The photoshop TIFF I manipulated and saved is simply an image with the grey and white checkered background. There is only one layer. I assumed that this meant that it would import into the Quark doc without any background color but there is still a white background.

I have many photos of the busts/heads of statues that I would like to extract to follow the outline of the head/bust to then use to create a transparent .png file for use in graphics projects. Can PSP do this? How? I see that the default setting for a photograph is a single background layer; do you create a duplicate layer and then what?

I am using P&GD2013..If I use a template from the designs gallery it will automatically replace photographs and create new pages to match the number of photographs I import. If I make my own template I can't make it do that.I have tried modifying a supplied template but that seems not to work either. All I want to do is to create a template of an A5 landscape page with one centred 7 x 5 photograph and then import forty photographs. Do I really have to drag each one from the bitmap gallery ?

I produce a colour brochure of approx 30 pages containing photos & details of our latest special offers every 2 weeks in Xara Designer Pro X9 (which is by far the best software that I have used for this type of work).
As each page is completed, I save the document as a XAR file then export it as a JPG in 2 sizes, a large one for printing & a smaller one that will become a pdf file for emailing to our customers.
I am looking to make the process more efficient and was wondering if there was any way to automate the saving of the 3 files in varying formats and filenames?
I have been looking at Graphics Converter Pro 2013 which converts XAR files to JPG but for some reason the resulting file is of very low quality.

Is there any way to just rotate a rectangular image? I have often scanned in something that's not square, it's often a brochure that's taller than it is wide. But when I scanned it, I had turn it sideways to get the whole thing visible to the scanner. So it scans completely, but now I have an image of it that's not "up is up"-- I have "up is right" or "up is left." But now I have to do all this junkbutter: 1) Look at the canvas size, 2) make the width & height equal to the larger of the two, 3) use the Rotate tool to turn the image 90 degrees, then 4) do some magic to move the image to start at the upper-left, and 5) crop it back down to get rid of the blank space on the bottom. YUCKY! Is there some magic tool I haven't found yet that will rotate, move and crop all in one step? I just want to turn the entire image on it's side without any other fuss. Is that possible somehow? I have to assume it is, but I sure couldn't find it...

I want to remove all but a rectangular area from an image. I do not want to make the rest of the image white, I want it to go away. I want to just have the rectangular image pixels left.
To be explicit, I want it to be like I cut up a photo, and threw the outside away.
