I create various objects in CD X4 and have a dickens of a time exporting them as clean graphics. My printer does not use CD, and I don't use Illustrator and am looking for a format that will fall in between both.
Let me create a scenario. I made a sign in CD, with a background color, text, and a photo. I want to save it in a middle ground format like PNG, but that option is not available to me in CD. So what I have tried is to copy the image and paste it in Paint Shop Pro, my preferred image editing program (one owned by Corel, I might add) and I can save in PNG in that program...but the images are pixelilated and look horrible.
I also created my logo in CD and did the same for my website, and it doesn't look so hot.
How do I perform these tasks, hopefully using the software I already own?
Thanks.

Image below is PNG format. Is it horrible? (RGB/300 DPIs when exporting) - See next post....
...and this one is JPG (RGB/300 DPIs when exporting).
Sizes: JPG = 34 Kb / PNG = 67 kb (different sizes to same image)
How do you access those media types?
When I go to save a file, I only have access to these:
AL, CLK, CDR, CDT, CGM, CMX, CSL, DES, DWG, DXF, EMF, FMV, PAT, PCT, PLT, SVG, SVGZ, WMF, WPG.
I may have typed in a wrong code, but you get the idea. I get to these when I go to save a file, "Save as..."
I have no access to jpg, png, etc. Please tell me how.
For PNG, JPG etc you need File : Export rather than Save As.
But if you are doing any serious printing, you should probably be looking at formats such as PDF which keep your vector objects as vector objects, rather than converting them into bit images.
