Creating PICT files

You can create Macintosh PICT 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 PICT file

1. From the File menu, choose Export.

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

3. Enter the filename and location and click Save. This will open the PICT 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

If you want 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 PICT Export dialog box.
