Creating TARGA files

You can create TARGA format bitmap files using a wide variety of options. Note that when exporting a bitmap, the current Xara LX Quality (see Changing the screen quality of documents) setting is used for the bitmap. For example if the Quality is set to a very low level the bitmap exported will be in outline only.

To create a TARGA file

1. From the File menu, choose Export.

2. In the Export dialog box, choose TARGA from the drop-down list.

3. Enter the filename and location and click Save. This will open the TARGA Export dialog box.

4. Set the options in the dialog box and click Export. For more information on the options, click the Help button in the dialog box.

Tips

To export a bitmap the same size as it is on the screen (at 100% magnification) choose 96dpi in the TARGA Export dialog box.

To export a small area of a document, select the objects in that area and choose Selection in the Area to Save section of the TARGA Export dialog box.
