Hello
Possible silly question coming up...
I'm creating some white shapes in Draw X8 to use as a mask in Corel Video Studio.
However, they don't show up against the transparent page background.
Is there a way to use a colour/pattern alias for transparent areas?
eg... Using MSPaint will show transparent areas in a PNG using a checkered pattern.
Thanks!
Rich

I tried the PNG export again in X8, both with and without Transparency enabled. Here, it's working as expected.
David Bevins said:Both cases, using a letter sized page, even with Export selected unchecked, it will not export the whole pages size.
What you describe - only exporting what is bounded by the extents of the objects - is what I consider to be normal. If I want the export to have some empty space around the visible objects, then I add a no-outline, no-fill rectangle. My experience with exporting to bitmap format is limited, through, so I can't say with any confidence if it has always worked that way.
