: I work in PC/Windows 3.5, CorelDraw, Hijaak Pro, Freelance and Photoshop.
: Someone sent me two separate black bitmapped charts for a report cover. I
: colored one of the chart's line blue in Photoshop. The idea I had in mind was to overlap just the blue line over the black line chart in Quark so I could make color separations for the print shop. I gave
: the blue line a .tiff extension before importing it into QX in order to make the tiff transparent in Quark so that the background of the black lined graph could show through. I am unhappy with the quality of the blue line tiff, forgetting that tiffs usually compress files, and since the chart is a bitmap, the quality of the picture isn't good to begin with.
: Does anyone know of a way that I can preserve the original quality of bitmaps so that when the bitmap is imported into QX, I can make the bitmap transparent. Is TIFF the only way to make something opague?
: By the way, I do not have access to a scanner.
: Thanks for your help.
Normally when your original picture isn't good it's better to use Streamline or another outline function (illustrator).
The gif format can also be used but i am not sure if Xpress imports this format.
Good luck
