Im sure there must be something im missing here with the PNG export settings. I like the way the new export window appears but I cant figure out how to export from Draw to a PNG with a transparent matte of a color picked color.
How I did it in X4 was to chose to export to PNG, and when the window appeared to select a color for the transparent area, a color picker was used. Whatever I do with X5, i cant do it :/
Ive checked out the help files but I still cant figure it out... but im sure its something im not doing correctly.
FosterCoburn said: Andy, I've not done a lot of testing with PNG export from Draw X5, but I know it is horribly broken from PHOTO-PAINT X5. Not a day goes by where I don't mask something in PHOTO-PAINT for export to a transparent GIF. It works great in X4, it is a confirmed bug in X5. I'm guessing you have something related. Of course you can now select an object in PHOTO-PAINT and it will export as transparent to PNG which didn't work in X4. One step forward, one step backwards.
Thanks Foster,
Its actually within Draw that im having issues... Its the background that im using, i just can figure how to make it transparent. In X4 (and before that, 12 etc), I used to simply select the background from the export preview box... there is no such option in X5... It must be something im doing im sure, but I just cant get it to work :/
If you are exporting a transparent image inside photoshop, and you get those faint annoying white outlines when you import your images into flash, here is how to get rid of them:1. Make sure your image has a transparent background (white and gray checkered background)2. Go to "help" on the top menu bar--then select "exporting a transparent image". After you do this, then another box will pop up. It will then trace your image (like what happens in Corel.) Then select GIF or PNG--the difference in these are the support from old and new browsers. For safe use for older browsers-select GIF. If your audience are people who predominately use newer browse, then select PNG if you wish.Then, follow the steps it gives you, and name your file what you want it to be, and VIOLA! you destroyed the evil white lines.
