I know that X4 isn't supposed to work with Windows 10 and I have run across some minor glitches (mostly cosmetic) until now. I have a number of drawings I have done over the years and occasionally I like to post them to relevant discussion forums on the Internet (one of which I administer) . In the past (when I was on Win 7) I would export the cdr to a transparent .png. Worked fine.
But since migrating to Win 10, I can no longer get a transparent background when i export to png. White is the default background and when I choose white to be transparent, everything seems as it should be and has been. But the result is not transparent at all the white background is still there.
Is ther a work around, an updated p.ng filter or any way to get a transparent background from CorelDraw X4 on Windows 10?
This should be all you need to do. You do have to ensure there isn't a shape behind it i.e. a white square etc.
I'm not sure I understand...It's just a drawing no background at all. Even if I move it off the "page" and try to export it, I get the same issue.
Yes, I could probably do something like that. Might need a day or so...
And FWIW, copy & paste into a new file doesn't help, either. Nor can I import the cdr. into photopaint or copy and paste into Paint.net.
Nothing seems to be able to break the white background.
How do I post a zip file / folder here?
You can use "Insert" in the editor.
To get to this:
and then you can have the file show up in your post.
insert file.zip
Eskimo,
Did you have a chance to look at the zipped files I posted?
And out of curiosity, why is it when I click on "CorelDraw X4 Graphics Suite > CorelDraw X4--where this thread is supposed to be, it doesn't show up in the list of threads? Are people even seeing it?
I have no evidence that this is the problem, but I'll ask.
When you use Help>About CorelDRAW..., what version number is reported in the window that pops up?
