I've had to do a lot of this sort of thing recently. My experience is that if one has an image with various settings such as ink/blending, graphic effects (I am in love with a charcoal inner glow on a white border) and one attempts to export it as an image all those settings are lost; similarly so exporting a snapshot. If, however, one groups the image after one has set all the effects (just create a group out of the image by itself; a bit counter intuitive, but there we are) and then exports either it or the whole card as a snapshot everything is preserved. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Ink Settings and Printing
When trying export (or import) all elements on a card, there is no need to do any grouping. As in Marty's case, one only needs to import a snapshot of the card. Here's one way: import snapshot from rect (rect of this cd) of this cd Grouping allows you import/export the objects independently of the card itself and maintain the empty space/effects around the objects, as you mention.

Re: Ink Settings and Printing
Thanks Scott - I've played around some with printing snapshots, but the resolution is too low for this project. I do have a work-around for what I'm doing, for the most part.

Ink Settings and Printing
I'm trying to print a card with a jpeg image on it and have noticed that when I set the Ink to anything other than the standard srcCopy that the image quality suffers noticeably. I think I tired every setting that allows underlaying objects to show through the white bounding box of my jpeg - which is what I need. Has anyone else tried something like this? I've tried this also with png images and gif images as well- all seems to suffer when set to (for example) blendMultiply.

If I remember the change notes right, you bascially get a screen shot if there are blended inks on the image. The engine can't render those. Wish I could remember which set of notes to point you to, it was somewhere around when the revised image capabilities kicked in. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Ink Settings and Printing
I was afraid of that. Oh well - thanks for letting me know.
