The demo version of Chameleon does not allow you to save.
Chameleon allows you to save:
1. Plain Draw (or Poster) files.
2. Compressed Draw files (which may be loaded into 4Mation's Vector). The
compression technique has been designed specifically for Draw files and,
therefore, is extremely efficient.
3. CMYK files: a directory containing a Draw file for each of the four
colour separations as used by commercial printers to produce
full-colour work.
4. Spot colour files: a directory containing a Draw file for each of the
actual colours used in the file. If the number of colours is greater than
4 a warning is given. The maximum number of colour files which can be
saved is 64.
When a document contains fountain-filled objects there are two additional
options available:
(a) Keep data for re-editing
The fountain-filled objects are saved as tagged objects. This means that
information about the fountain fill is stored with the objects. The
advantage of this is that if the file is loaded back into Chameleon the
objects can have their fills changed. This option should be chosen,
therefore, only if you intend loading the file back into Chameleon for
re-editing. If a fountain-filled file is loaded into another application
you must not (and, in some applications, cannot) move or edit the
fountain-filled objects as only Chameleon understands the extra data
with which the objects have been tagged.
(b) Plain Drawfile
When this option is selected, any fountain-filled objects will be split
up into a series of strips so that any application which accepts Draw
files will be able to display a representation of the fill. The number
of strips can be set. You will not be able to change the fountain fills
at a later date but you will be able to move and scale the
fountain-filled objects in other applications. A plain Draw file will
usually be larger than when you have used the Keep data for re-editing
option.
