- Saving
- ======
-
- 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.
