Sharing Documents with SpriteEffects

Since SpriteEffects are “live” effects that can be edited and updated, there are a few issues to consider if you plan to share documents that contain SpriteEffects.

Effects that are applied to an object need to be available to other Canvas X Draw users if they share the document and need to edit the effects.

If you export a document using an image file format, the effects will be rendered into an image (as described below). Rendering is necessary because other file formats do not support SpriteEffects on objects.

Printing Effects

Whether you print directly to an output device or to a PostScript file, Canvas X Draw renders effects before printing.

Rendering Effects

Preserve the appearance of effects by rendering objects before sharing a Canvas X Draw document. Rendering converts SpriteEffects and objects into static images.

Effects and objects are not editable after conversion to images.

You can use one of several methods to render SpriteEffects:

  • Use the Camera tool to select an area of an illustration to render.
  • Select objects that have effects, including lenses, and choose Image | Area | Render.
  • Save a document in an image file format, such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, or TIFF. Canvas X Draw renders the document as an image before saving the file.
