CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Color Profile Missing When Dropping Bitmaps

Dec 1, 2012

After the X6.2 service pack everything looked fine at first, but when dropping bitmaps, Draw now regularly complains about missing the color profile. Of course the bitmaps have profiles embedded, and Draw had never complained about those same bitmaps before. Well, I have everything in AdobeRGB or IsoCoated v2 CMYK, and these are also the standard settings in CorelDraw. So it didn't make a difference eventually, colors remained the same to the numbers.

However, I re-calibrated my display a little later, installed the new profile, opened Draw and was shocked: stridently over-saturated colors in bitmap images as well as in vector graphics, nowhere near their appearance in four-color print (they had been pretty close before). In other color-managed applications everything looks fine, only CorelDraw is concerned. It still does respond to display profile changes, it does adjust colors when a different profile is installed, but the over-saturation is always there. Color definitions are not changed and output is as ever, it is only Corel's rendering of display colors.

I believe that this reaction to a change of the system display profile and the ignorance of profiles embedded in bitmaps go back to the same problem with color management.

Is there a registry hack or something to make it recognize color profiles properly again, or do we have to wait for the next SP to fix a bug brought in by the last?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 :: Export To PDF Without Color Profile

Apr 6, 2012

I'd like to export a drawing to PDF *without* any color conversions, i.e. colors should look exactly the same when viewed as PDF on the same screen (the PDF ultimately will be embedded in a presentation).

I have turned color management off, but this did not solve the problem. When viewing the PDF, I still see these pale colors, probably resulting from the wrong PDF profile being applied.

When I export as PNG, then everything is fine colorwise (but I need PDF as vector format).

how on earth I can turn this "feature" completely off?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Mixing Vector Graphics And Bitmaps

Mar 14, 2011

I often create graphics in CorelDRAW export it and inserting it into my MS Word documents and finally convert my documents to pdf. When it is vector graphics, exporting as EPS works fine: The increase in file size is small and lines are displayed perfect independant of how much you zoom in the final pdf document. When I handle bitmaps, I usually export as JPG (or PNG), which works well too. My problem arise when I have a mixed vector and bitmap image. I have imported a bitmap into CorelDRAW and created some lines on top of it. I want to export it as a whole. If I export as EPS, the final result is fine, but filesize has increased considerable. If I choose to export as jpg, the filesize is fine, but the lines are getting slightly blurry. Is there a way to get the best of both Worlds - resonable filesize and perfect lines? Maybe settings in some dialog??

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Reflections For Bitmaps

Jun 9, 2013

I've found a couple of discussions on creating reflections for vector objects, but what about bitmaps?

Whilst searching through stock photos, I started noticing some of those common isolated images on a "reflective" surface are rather lazily created resulting in just plain wrong reflections. I'm talking mostly about those "people standing around" images, but it could apply to anything.

Here's an example of what I mean:

Now if these folks were standing on a reflective surface, their reflections would meet where they touch. Note how some appear to be standing on one foot, because the reflection of the other foot doesn't meet. Or it looks like they're standing on their toes because the heel is off. Obviously this was done by simply flipping the image and fading it.

Here's a link to the stock photo if you want to see the whole thing. Here's another one where everyone appears to be standing on their toes.

A couple of times I've attempted to correct this by creating my own reflections. With some fudging and distortion of the reflected outline, I managed, but typically had to have a very fast fade. Easier to create a vector trace, then shade it grey and use that. It gets increasingly more difficult the more distinct and clear you want the reflection. Studying reality, if someone were standing on a mirror, their reflection would have the perspective of looking up at them from the bottom.

So how would you approach creating a reflection from a bitmap where there is no straight line defining the reflection line?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Way For CD To Reimport All Bitmaps Again?

Jan 2, 2013

Is there a way to have Corel Draw re-import images I imported into Draw? I have a bunch of images I imported, power clipped, and did a few other things to but I did not edit the bitmap itself. I'm using CD to outline the bitmap to create a white back ground for the image. Now I adjusted the bitmaps in After Shot Pro so it looks better and now I want CD to use the new bitmap and not the one I imported but I dont want to go through all the power clipping ect ect again.

I named all the files the same so is there a way for CD to re-import all the bitmaps again?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Why Imported Bitmaps Are So Low Resolution

Jan 17, 2012

If I import a custom bitmap into Coreldraw, as linked image, the resulting image is very coarse.

If I import all content, the resolution is preserved.

Is that possible to increase the preciousness of linked images to reflect original?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Exporting Bitmaps To Illustrator

Oct 5, 2012

I am an Illustrator user but I am working with a company that uses CorelDraw. Recently I received several large files from them with bitmapped images within the CorelDraw files. I don't know how they are saving or exporting them, but when i receive them they look like standard Illustrator eps files. However, when I open them, the bitmapped files are embedded instead of linked, which is a no-no in Illustrator. These embedded files have a default resolution of 72 dpi no matter what the original resolution was. So, my question is, what is the standard way CorelDraw brings in bitmapped files and is there a way to export files so that bitmapped files retain their original resolution.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Not Printing Bitmaps On HP Inkjet Printer

Oct 23, 2011

I have a problem printing bitmap images on CorelDRAW documents in my work computer (Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit). I have a HP 3535 inkjet printer, and It was prinitng normally for some time, but one day the printer suddenly stopped printing images from the CorelDRAW documents and only prints text and vector images. The same happens in Photo-Paint, it simply prints in blank.

I Tried to restore the program to default settings using the F8 command with no luck. This really annoying and I need to print bitmaps for my work. This happens in all my documents...

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Unable To Edit Bitmaps / Photos

Jan 27, 2012

I have recently upgraded from X4 to X5 and while when I first installed it I was able to click on a bitmap and get CorelPhotoPaint to launch - it now says Failure to launch server application.  I have tried the F8 tip while opening both Paint & Draw, repairing the installation (from both the hard drive and the disk), and removing and reinstalling.  I used to have X4 and even X3 on my system but have removed both of those versions.  And yes, I have associated the files although within Corel the ticked boxes do not seem to stay put.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Envelope / Warp Or Pincushion Adjustments For Bitmaps?

Sep 16, 2013

What I want to do is something like the envelope tool, but actually stretch an image from the center-points (kind of like the old pincushion settings in a CRT monitor):

I played around with the mesh warp tool, but that thing seems nearly impossible to fine tune even when I use the magnifier.

The tool "Warp Brush"  would probably work with some delicacy, but seems to be exclusive to Paint Shop Pro, and the smear tool obviously will not work...

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Trying To Export Bitmaps To Large Format Printer

Sep 11, 2013

Recurring problem i'm having with bitmaps im trying to export to our large format printer. Some bitmaps are coming up with a grey type filter or lens that corel is automatically putting over my photo.

When i export this' filter' remains on the picture.

If i hit 'edit bitmap' the photo comes up normal with all the colours as it should be. Hit 'save' and it goes straight back to having a grey filter over it? Its only with some photos and the other ones are the same profile on the same page? It seems to be always the physically largest one in size (not dpi) I have tried converting to a cmyk bitmap instead of RGB.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Applying Spot Colors To Grayscale Bitmaps?

Jul 14, 2011

We have a new Roland printer, an LEJ-640, which prints in CMYK plus white and clear gloss.

In order to print a white bitmap, I must apply a spot color to the bitmap. I used the Bitmap|Mode|Dutone to apply the white spot color and it seems to work correctly--it shows up as a spot color when I use the print dialog to preview separations.

When I use either print to file with the RolandVW print driver or File|Publish to PDF, the spot color on the bitmap is not preserved, Versaworks does not recognize it as a spot color. Color output is set to "Native". However, a vector object on the same page with the same spot color applied is recognized as a spot color.

The pink part in the versaworks screenshot indicates white spot color, as you can see only the vector object is recognized.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Vector Objects Behind Transparent Objects Turns Into Bitmaps When Exported

Aug 18, 2011

I often produce graphics in CorelDRAW, export it as en eps file and insert it inside a MS Word document as an image and finally convert it to pdf. This way my vector graphics (often linedrawings with or without fill) usually is preserved in the final pdf document. I can zoom in and the lines keep on displaying perfectly sharp. This is important, since it easily looks bad when thin lines are turned into bitmaps, even when watched from a distance.

Now, in some graphics I created today, I had a circle with fountain fill and outline (symbolizing a sphere) put behind a filled rectangle, which had a uniform transparency applied to it. In the resulting pdf file, the 'sphere' was turned into bitmap. Inside CorelDRAW everything was vector graphics, but something was loast in the process. what happens with the graphics in the different steps in the process and eventually could explain a workaround to make everything look as vector in the final pdf file.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Missing Text Or Graphics When Printing?

May 9, 2011

X5 Recently have begun missing parts of print out. Tried to duplicate but appears completely random.

Output to both Full colour laser and Wide Format printers will miss either text or part of objects. Today printed the text but not the text effects.   Initially closed and reopened, rebooted, However this has become a now daily feature so regardless tried reprint from the same screen so next print has everything included.

Very costly and time consuming - print preview shows all correct but output is not the same.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Exporting To EPS - Missing Objects?

Sep 19, 2012

Using CorelDraw X6.1

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 have tried f8, and tried reinstalling.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Font Missing From Prints

Oct 24, 2013

I've designed a simple graphic in X6 and printed directly to Roland ecosol printer.  My black text doesn't show up on the print.  I've spent a few hours and a lot of paper trying to figure this out. 

The black text that isn't showing up is designed to be on top of a yellow box.  When I print as intended, the text doesn't show.  However, when I move the text off the box, it is printed and visible.  Is it a document setup, color management, or print settings issue?  Or none of the above?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Some Objects Missing When Print?

I prints photos with some text overlaid, like title of image, copyright etc.

I select all objects and save the design then print, and sometimes only the text prints! the image/photo does not print.

well that is kind of annoying to have a 12x36 panorama canvas with only the text and not the picture, since the canvas is ruined and costs about $12 a print.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Missing Content In Print Preview?

Apr 23, 2012

Just upgraded from X3 to X6.  Still getting used to it, but so far so good.

On one layout, some items on a printable layer do not appear on the Print Preview.  The page contains a monochrome bitmap, some text and a curve.  Only the bitmap appears on the print preview, yet everything prints.

It doesn't happen with every job.  Not a big deal on this job, but there will soon come a time when I need to know what will and will not print.
