hi again :)
i drew an image /a sandwich :)/ and i need it exported as png file with transparent background. i tried exporting it but the option for the transparent background is unavailable. i converted all the drawings to one bitmap and exporting it after but the transparent option is still unavailable. pls help, i suppose i do something wrong.

Not sure if this would work for you. Try resetting your DRAW workspace. Keep F8 pressed while launching DRAW. Select yes to reset the workspace.
Hello Maria; I don't know if this will help you but if I wanted a drawing not to have like a white background I will put the graphics in a box and color the box the same color as the page I'm puting it on.
Just A Thought George
Are you using RGB 24bit as your color mode?
And also, is there any layer that has a shape with a solid fill. .
You can also try using the "Selected Only" Option in the Export Dialog just to confirm.
hi,
sorry for replying late... Adrian, i did change the color mode to rgb 24 and it did let me click the transparency option this time, as well i tried the Selected only option but corel doesnt export. the photo simply doesn't appear in my desktop. i tried with the other formats and no problem, just doesn't export the file as png. when i click Export i see for the seconds the processing bar and done, nothing is exported. Any idea what am i doing wrongly again?
thanks, maria
Have you by any chance clicked “selected only” as suggested and exported without anything being selected?
just did it again, tried selecting one layer, all of them and nothing is exported. it's like png stays just as a name there but doesn't work.

If you saw a progress bar for a few seconds is it possible you have exported the image successfully, but not to your desktop? If you have Windows 7 do a search for the file name you saved to.
try saving it as a PNG and bring it into PhotoPaint.... remove the background there and save it... also only certain formats allow transparent backgrounds....
