CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 :: Crop Oval Out Of Image?
Mar 28, 2012
i have an image on my workspace. its a rectangular image. Now, I want to crop an oval out of it. So everything else around it will dissapear. How do i do this? I was thinking the CUT tool, but that only cuts from point to point.
I need to crop pictures of horses to fit within a specified oval shape and size but i dont know how to do it within the corel program, i print it out on special vinyl then cut it on my Roland GX-24 and press it on to an item of clothing and i need to get 2 horses on 1 sheel of paper.
when i draw a circle in corel draw, i set the height and width dimension to equal, so it should become a circle, but it end up in the monitor screen an oval shape, also i notice the y axis and x axis in the corel draw is not equal. so i check my artcut y and x axis, is also same as corel draw. But when i cut out the shape, it cut out a circle shape. isit due to monitor or other setting.
Just wondering if I'm missing something when I select the crop tool to remove a section of a image. Is there any way to move the marquee around as if it was a square converted to curves...just move the handles to say a triangle? I know I can powerclip to any curve design I can create..it just looks as if you can use the handles to flip, rotate, etc..

I'm the IT manager at a rather large company which uses graphics quite often. Currently, our art staff uses CorelDraw x3 & x4. Most of what they work with is CDR & EPS files but occasionally PLT as well..
I have looked all over Google for a program that will display a CDR file, but cannot find a good one. A found a couple that will display the thumbnail, but not much else. I wouldn't mind that, but it's not legible on most images.
What we are looking for is an app to install on our reps machines so that they can view these files with a customer.
Is there a easier way to clean up this image, I have been going through and deleting nodes and moving some. I am still learning but there has to be a better way.
I've been using Photopaint 12 for years. This seems like it should be very simple to do, but I've never found a really quick way.
All I want to do is put a single colour 1 or 2 pixel border around a load of images. I don't mind if it is inside or outside the existing image size (the choice would be nice).
I know I can simply draw an unfilled rectangle, but it's easy to drag the shape outside the edges of the image, or to end up a few pixels in, and it's quite time consuming doing it manually.
Is there a way to tile one of my own images? I want to make a 6x6 image into a 12x12 image so it reproduces a blend of that image 4 times, rather than having 4 images with visible edges.
It was something I could do in PSP years ago when I used it.
I am trying to put a client's qr code png on a file I am creating for them. It seems to be a regular png file, but when I try to import or paste in either CD or PP all I get is a black square.
What is strange is I can open this same png with Intraview no problem, I can copy and paste it into Word with no problem, I can open it in Adobe PHotoshop Elements without a problem. I also can open and view it in Windows Live Photo Gallery. It is just in CorelDraw X5 that I am experiencing the problem.
I am trying to export an image to PNG, tried watching the videos here but it doesnt seem to work, im still getting the white background. I have corel graphics suite 11
When I used the erasor to remove the fill from inside an image which has been powertraced, the bits which have been erased turn black, rather than transparent.
I am fairly inexperienced using Corel. I work with Corel in a technical capacity for my job. We use it to transform DXF (AutoCAD) files into image files that can then be imported into another very specialized program for weaving.
The problem I am having is this. I would like to be able to export image files from corel that have a specified height, in pixels, larger than 10,000. In the woven program, the pixels of the incoming drawing have a real, physical representation. Namely, the number of pixels wide and high in the drawing translates directly into the number of yarns wide and high in a woven cloth repeat (weft (pick count) and warp (end count) for those who are familiar). We have some designs that require the length be longer than the 10,000 limit, and until recently we have been working around this by resizing ("scaling") the image without keeping the aspect ratio in the woven image editing program. This does ok, but when the lines and curves in the drawing get "stretched," they become very uneven and this is frustrating.
We cannot use jpg file formats because when the lines and curves of a dxf file are converted to an image and then exported from corel as a jpg, the lines do not remain smooth and complete. In other words, they become a series of standalone dots. This severely complicates working with the image in other steps. Currently, our standard is to use .tif files, and .bmp files also seem to work. However, neither seems to allow the exportation of images in excess of 10,000 pixels long.
Is there a different way we could be creating these images in order to get the type of accuracy we are looking for? DXF files have to be successfully made into image files that maintain the proportions set out in AutoCAD and which also are longer than 10,000 pixels.
Being in the Heat Transfer business, there is a new paper out that rids the paper print called "Image Clip", it has a procedure that to make it work. Printing a mirrored image on transfer paper and printing another image with laser but a "NEGATIVE". I have suite X4, any quick ways to make the image using my Corel, their instructions is only in Photoshop, I prefer Corel?
Image below, what I want to do is remove the parts of the red logo below the black line. normally I would use the virtual segment delete tool. this is working with the red outer line, but not on the letters. rather than removing the part of the letter below the line, it is removing the whole letter. Also it is leaving a square edge on the line, and not removing it on an angle.
i'm wondering how to trace a JPEG imagine and make a copy of the original image 20mm bigger all the way around so i can cut the larger image out and engrave the inner image
I have a problem with editing img raster in Corel Draw X3.
I cant open Photo-Paint... If i use the button to editing a raster, opens Windows Paint.This problem started today. Yesterday everything worked normally.
Is there a way of scaling the "outline" when scaling the image... automatically? It seem that this has to be checked in the "Outline Pen" dialogue box every time you add an "outline" to an image.......and it starts to become a tedious task if you forget to do that to an entire project.
That just happened to me with 30 different images. I had to go back and "check" the box to every single outline.
I am trying to transform a folder of 100+ jpeg images from retangles to have rounded corners and a drop shadow....the ideal being to make them look a little like mouse mats for Amazon listings.
I can do them 1 at a time, but I want to do this to 100's of images, how to 'automate' the process??
