I'm creating a flyer in Xara Xtreme and need to bring in a couple of bitmaps; but, I'm experiencing issues with the quality of the bitmaps when they're imported into Xara.

I open the picture in Photoshop CS2, resample to 300dpi, change the mode to CMYK, resize to fit, and then save the image as a TIFF. In Photoshop, the image looks perfect.

But, when I import the TIFF into Xtreme, it looks awful. The image appears darker and as if the contrast is being overcompensated.

Note: I did the same with CorelDraw 12 and the imported TIFF image appears perfectly.

So...why is this happening in Xtreme?
And...what is the best method to bring in high-res images from Photoshop without affecting quality??

Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron
