• I luv X5… but

    Posted by Shane Drew on May 10, 2010 at 11:19 pm

    … when I do a file on X5 and save as an X3 format so I can read it on my older computer (long story) more often than not X3 says the file is an invalid format, or it says it has outlines that can’t be imported..

    … any clues what I may be doing wrong?

    I’ve just tried opening a 4 colour leaflet with transparencies in X3 which was originated in X5 and it opened fine. You may have a particular object object that is causing the problem especially if you have anything imported from other programmes. Open the Object Docker and see if you can find anything there listed which is reported differently.
    Export as cmx and import that. cmx will strip out any styles
    If the file is not too big email it over and I’ll see if I can see anything obvious and I am assuming you are selecting X3 when you are saving.

    Thanks Alan,

    Yes I’m selecting X3 when saving, and thanks for the offer. I’ll play with the othersuggestions first and get back to you.

    X5 is by far the best version/update I’ve used though.

    How are you getting on with the new colour management.

    I’m still trying to understand it actually. I’m playing around with X5 at home, and only done one real job for a mate via X5.

    It is so much ‘more’ than x3, everytime I go into X5 I discover something new, or better than the older version.

    A bit frustrated as I’m so busy that I don’t get much time to play just yet.

    Alan – how are getting with the colour management?

    We are printing off 2x PCs with the same settings but getting different results.

    Do you mean 2 machines printing different colours or viewing differently. X5 takes its monitor profile from the OS system, X4 and earlier the monitor profile was set in corels CM. In X5 it will now recognise an embedded profile.
