Importing Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) file
Microsoft PowerPoint® (PPT) files do not import reliably. Only clipart that is embedded in a
PowerPoint file imports into Composer. You can only import one page at a time.
Tips for success
Use the Clipboard to bring PowerPoint data into Composer. In PowerPoint, copy the shapes
and/or text you want to import. Use the Edit > Paste Special command and choose Picture
(Metafile) to paste the data onto the Composer work space.
Importing Adobe PhotoShop Document (PSD) file
Adobe PhotoShop® Document (PSD) files import reliably in OMEGA. To minimize a shift in
color, use the color management feature of PhotoShop. The newest version of PhotoShop has
not been thoroughly tested and additional procedures can not be recommended at this time.
When designing in Adobe PhotoShop, you can see the Gerber color profiles in the Color
Settings dialog box. For better results, save the PhotoShop file as a TIF with embedded color
profiles.
Importing Microsoft Windows Metafile (WMF)
Microsoft Windows Metafile (WMF) files import reliably into OMEGA with a shift in color. All
curves in WMF files are converted to chords, a series of straight lines that represent a curve. All
linear and radial fills are converted into a series of small boxes that represent the original fill. If
the WMF is enlarged substantially beyond the original size, the curves or fills may not appear
smooth.
Tips for success
♦ For best results, when creating the WMF file, convert text to curves.
♦ Use the imported WMF at original size or smaller for smoother curves, linear, and
gradient fills.
♦ WMF objects import grouped. To have the vinyl assignment take effect, ungroup the
objects before assigning the vinyl.
