CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 :: White Line When Exporting To JPEG Or PNG
Oct 12, 2009
When I export an image from CorelDraw to a jpeg, or png, (or probably anything for that matter) and try to use it in my web design program I get the little 1 pixel wide white line. WTH? I then have to take it into corel photo paint and erase that one pixel line, in order for it to be gone.
I've used Corel Draw since version 4 I think and this problem has existed in every version Corel has put out. I like the product, I find it easy to use but this glitch is maddening.
I am new to X4 and cannot seem to get rid of the white background when I export a vector to a jpg file. This is probably a no brainier but I have tried setting the page background to none and a few other things but to no avail.
For some reason I am having problems exporting .CDR's to .JPG - I am using a custom page layout, 12x10" in landscape and have basically created 4 images with a 1" border around them by means of setting the page background to a plain colour and importing a .JPG to the desired size. This worked fine for two of my images, but, for some reason the other 2 images will not save as a 12 x 10 sized image, which means the 'border' is cropped on the two sides.
It's hair pulling out time for me as I have done the same process for two of the prints, but the other two will not stop cropping themselves in the export process.
When exporting a file to jpeg the dialog box that normally appears and lets you select the quality of the jpeg is not popping up but the files saves but I now have no options in saving the file.
Quick question, I just created a logo and I'm wondering if there is a way to export the logo into jpeg without the white background. I create posters for my husbands business and it will not be a problem when i add our logo to our posters because I can just remove the background myself.
My problem will be when I have to send the logo to other companies, they usually ask for the logo in jpeg. I've already exported the logo into a jpeg but of course the white document background appears. Is there any way to export ONLY the logo into a jpeg?
I am working with a device that can import plt files & it converts that to a tool path in G-Code. works like a champ. but some data, most text (single line font), is converted two times. This makes the tool do the work twice and its pretty inconvenient to manually delete the doubled up G-Code Lines.
I am pretty sure the duplication is done at the Corel export level and not in the translator of the machine. I have been working with the export settings with no success.
Every time i make a JPEG image it comes out with a thin white line at the bottom and left side of the image (kinda looks like a border line). Is there any way to take that off? I can't seem to make a seamless black pattern with those lines there....
How on earth do you export bitmaps cropped to the size of the canvas? This seems like the simplest functionality ever but i can't get it to work. For example, I am designing an advert for use online. It needs to be 600px wide x 150px high. I may want to use a background image or a photo that when placed goes beyond the edge of the canvas. Logic dictates i would only want to export the canvas with a web image (otherwise why would i have set an exact number of pixels.) However, Corel insists on exporting everything on the canvas and desktop. Surely it should allow us to choose the bounding area of the exported bitmap.
Just to clarify what I mean, i've included a screen shot showing and example original graphic and the export result. I'm sure there must be an easy way to do this. If it's one like this i can crop it easily, but sometimes a print customer will ask me to send them, for example, a 32pp booklet we have designed for them with each page as a JPG and to crop each one manually is a right pain.
I'm very new to corel and i just finished designing a poster but i need to add logos. the problem i'm having is that they're in jpeg and they have a white background. i need to remove the white background. i've tried the magic wand and then going to mask and invert. the problem with this is that i can still see quite a bit of white around the logo. An easier way or do i need to go in and clean up the edges in photo paint's cut out lab? i can do this but it just seems like a lot of work and i have to work with about 15 logos.
what I want to achieve is a jpg image, with one of my vector designs over the top of it, for use on a website.
This is how I have been doing things so far. Opening cdr file, containing the vector that i wish to use importing the image, then reducing its size positioning the vector over the top of the image adding perspective to the vector selecting both using the pick tool (dragging the selection square around both items) then selecting export for web.
This has worked for dozens of pictures so far. The problem is, my exported file is way too big, at 900kb. However, if I just export the image, it is 39kb. If i just export the vector, it is 25 kb. Yet when I export both it comes up at 900.
We are using Coral Draw 11 and have to get a lot of our data from Excel. Currently we are copying and pasting the information in, but this is very time consuming. Is there a faster and simplier method?
The best way to export Corel Draw files to a format that other non-Corel users can easily manipulate? I have had trouble saving as or exporting to other vector formats in the past. I use very large files with imported jpg graphics, etc.
Also, do any of the effects/actions (drop shadows, power clipping, grouping) that we use in Corel affect the ability of other users to at least open and manipulate the file? Even if it's not exactly the same in the converted file, what is the most convenient way to allow another artist to view & manipulate Ai or EPS exported from Corel Draw? (Specifically X6 if that applies)
I have artistic text on a simple schematic diagram that I am trying to export out as a .cgm file, but the lines convert from solid lines to dashes and the vertical text does not stay in place after the export.
When I prepare artwork for 1 spot color print, there is this issue.
I use black or gray for all the vectors, and convert all bitmaps to 300dpi grayscale.When I export as PDF, I select "Output color as: Grayscale"
However, my printer feedback saying that the PDF files contains CMYK color (C & Y).I've checked the color separation in Print Preview, only K, no CMY.
The printer said they always have this problem with users using CorelDraw to export grayscale PDF.They have to import it into AI and export again to PDF to make it right.Here are the files:[URL]
am trying to implement using a watermark and want to make it easy and fast. I'd love it to be a top layer that is set on all design templates and not something I have to monkey with each time (waste of time).
I am trying to upload a file for a microstock site that requires an eps file under 8MB. As a cdr file, it is under 25KB but when I export the file as an eps it rockets to over 400,000KB.
We have X5 installed on four computers at work and on two of the machines (including mine) X5 will crash everytime (100%) when trying to export to jpg. It does not even get as far as a dialog box its just crashes straight away. I it does this everytime on two comuters without fail.
Is there a way of viewing an error report? Or what would I have to do to file one?
I can export to other formats just fine, it only seems to be JPG....
Is there a way to set the default setting to rgb when exporting to jpeg. The current setting is set to cmyk and I want it to be rgb so that everytime I export I don't have to change the settings.
I managed to get a nice set of different settings to publish a corel file to pdf. Now I would like copy these settings to multiple other pc's in the office. where a can find the file/folder in which these settings are being saved?
Otherwise I would have to set all different pc's individually and I rather spend my time otherwise.
On Corel X3 I used to export jpg proofs for email purposes. I could send RGB or CMYK version but CMYK did not appear properly on some computers (especially Macs) so I did everything as RGB.
Now in X5 I can see that standard 100% black exported as RGB gives just grey colour.
I understand that this may be appropriate conversion to indicate that this is not rich black (exporting as cmyk is fine) but I don't think it's a good solution because most of people refer to visual appearance on the screen.
Can I change anything to get the result more like on screen (like with X3)?
I don't know how do I send it now, If I send as RGB the colour is wrong (I would need to convert everything in cmyk to 100%) if I export as cmyk Mac users will see it wrong.

Having issues with exporting files to an .eps format - using "selected only" some of the objects that I have selected do not get exported - ie. they are missing from the .eps file altogether.
On top of that, most of my colours get washed out to a grey scale - I do work in spot colours.
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.
I've got Service Pack 3 which is the latest and greatest and am still finding that I cannot export to any bitmap format even in PhotoPaint. I can save as a .cpt file in PhotoPaint. Sometimes I send out .jpeg proofs and doesn't matter whether it is X5 Draw or PhotoPaint, it crashes.
I do not have this problem when I export the same thing from X4 Draw or PhotoPaint.
I am running XP on a virtualized Windows environment via Parallels desktop for Mac. I have plenty of RAM and hard drive space so it may be because I am not running Windows 7?
I was hoping this feature would be added in X6, and in retrospect I should have asked about this before they released X6 :S
When exporting to PDF in Corel it would be great if there could be an option to get rid of the layers. The problems with layers in PDF it uses a lot more resources and when I combine 20+ PDFs together it barely opens on slower computers. Also, my clients can see what my layer names are in the PDF and I would prefer if they couldn't.
