Attention: Only Xara Designer Pro can import PSD files with 16bit colors or CMYK
color model
The layers in the PSD file, and the layer visibility setting will be preserved and will
become MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013 layers. You can view them by opening
the
PAGE & LAYER GALLERY.
The Photoshop blend modes Normal, Multiply and Screen are compatible with the
equivalent MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013 transparency types Mix, Stain and
Bleach and will remain editable in MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013 using the
TRANSPARENCY Tool.
Photoshop calls it Opacity, but it’s the same thing as Transparency (just the other
way around), i.e. a 90% opacity value in Photoshop becomes a 10% transparency
setting in MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013.
Tip: if you have separate objects in Photoshop that you wish to be able to move and
change independently of one another in MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013, place
them on separate layers in Photoshop before exporting.
TIFF Import
MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013 TIFF import supports a much wider range of
TIFF file types, including:
• CMYK TIFF files.
• Fax TIFF files (black and white images. Multi-page faxes will be imported as
multiple pages into MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013).
• TIFF with transparency (if exporting a TIFF from Photoshop (Save As) you can
select the
SAVE TRANSPARENCY checkbox).
• Mac or PC byte order TIFF files.
• TIFF with layers and transparency (if saved from Photoshop the rules for blend
mode compatibility are the same as for PSD files).
• JPEG in TIFF (transparency is not possible in this case).
Usually TIFF files have a file extension of .tif.
PDF Import
PDF is a complex vector graphics format that has evolved over 10 years or more and
contains numerous sub-formats and options. PDF was designed as a portable
document format for viewing and printing only, and was not intended as a file format
for transferring data between applications. However MAGIX Page & Layout Designer
2013 should load the vast majority of PDF files.
