Apply a map fill and zoom in until the fill appears correctly.<br/><br/>Save out and see if this worked. <br/><br/>Works for me.<br/><br/>Rich</p>Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:49:57 Z2009-06-04T16:49:57Zhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/f0d626d4-ab78-4c7f-8b32-5f1b7fb497f2#06308647-43eb-4712-be02-76fba3116779http://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/f0d626d4-ab78-4c7f-8b32-5f1b7fb497f2#06308647-43eb-4712-be02-76fba3116779Annie Fordhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Annie%20FordHi ya, Rich!  Seems like you gave me that tip once, a loooooong time ago.

This is somewhat different by increasing the rasterizing resolution. I happened to be rendering large images and noticed the difference. I made a few ornate frames that I'll go back and see if they will fill as well. <br/><br/>RichMon, 08 Jun 2009 00:00:04 Z2009-06-08T00:00:04Zhttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/f0d626d4-ab78-4c7f-8b32-5f1b7fb497f2#dcb15370-729b-43b5-92ba-7519cfdc8891http://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/design/thread/f0d626d4-ab78-4c7f-8b32-5f1b7fb497f2#dcb15370-729b-43b5-92ba-7519cfdc8891Moluccahttp://social.expression.microsoft.com/Profile/en-US/?user=Molucca<p>Dave,</p> <p>Red Prince White Wash Alpha will run as a plugin to E3. It is the only white eliminator I found to work.  You might try it in your current OS.<br/><br/>You can make gray scale images transparent by making them an image stroke, too. <br/><br/>Rich</p>Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:39:50 Z2009-06-25T13:39:50Z
