Text
You can export text from MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013 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.
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 MAGIX Page & Layout
Designer 2013.
For print work you should choose a higher DPI.
You can select to export the whole MAGIX Page & Layout Designer 2013 page area
or just the areas of the visible objects only.
Exporting as Microsoft XPS (XML Paper Specification)
This is an entirely new "page description" file format invented by Microsoft. Designed
for Vista, this is also supported on older versions of Windows by getting a free
download. The benefit of XPS format is that it is vector based, and so is ideal as a
resolution-independent portable document format. Fonts are embedded into the
document and so you are ensured very high quality WYSIWYG documents. If you’re
using Windows Vista, you can view and print these documents directly. If you’re
using older versions of Windows, you can obtain a free XPS Viewer download from
the Microsoft website, enabling the viewing and printing of these files.
It should be noted that the Xara XPS export does not use the Microsoft standard XPS
print system, but writes XPS files directly, which ensures far higher fidelity and far
smaller XPS files.
XPS supports advanced vector features such as transparency, CMYK colors and
embedded fonts.
