482 Importing and Exporting

Exports all visible objects on the page and pasteboard areas.

Export whole page area

Exports the whole page area together with visible objects on the page area only.
Text

You can export text from Xara Web Designer Premium to be editable text in Photoshop,
but the text must be on a layer on its own (on import you may be asked to update the text
objects for them to be editable in Photoshop.)

Text that is on a layer with any other graphic objects will be rasterized into that layer, and
thus not be editable. So for this reason it is recommended that you choose the default
export option - EXPORT EACH OBJECT AS A PS LAYER.

Export DPI
You will be able to set the DPI of the bitmaps in the exported PSD file.

A DPI of 96 is the normal
Windows screen resolution,
and so exporting at 96dpi will
appear in Photoshop at the
same size at 100% as it does
at 100% in Xara Web Designer
Premium.

For print work you should choose a higher DPI.
You can select to export the whole Xara Web Designer Premium page area or just the
areas of the visible objects only.
Summary

In order to get maximum compatibility and editability in Photoshop:

• For the parts of your drawing that you want to remain separate layers in Photoshop,
place them on separate layers in Xara Web Designer Premium.
• If you want your text to be editable in Photoshop, place it on a layer of its own, with no
other graphic objects.
