View 16 RepliesI design t-shirts and one of our biggest customers sells signature shirts. Below is an example of the problem I'm having. The second image is the original and the first one is what happens after I convert to a bitmap and outline trace.
There are always at least 2-3 names with missing letters or filled in letters. I've adjusted the detail etc while tracing but doesn't seem to work. I'm on the verge of losing a very important customer. We've also had to redo several orders because the "glitch" wasn't caught before production.
Corel Draw 5 did this very nicely but it's obsolete and I can't load it onto this machine (HP all-in-one Pavilion desktop with Windows 8).
I am working with hand-drawn images but since I need to manipulate the outline/s with a 4 - 12 pixel tool, it would be great to just be editing nodes instead. Creating the image from scratch as a vector graphic would be a horrible large amount of work and is not feasible at this time.
Is there any way other than Corel Draw 5 to make the conversion from bitmap-type images to editable vector graphics, ie: editable nodes?
PS - I don't have $700 - $1000 to spend on software at this point but do have Photoshop Elements 11, Premiere 11 and Lightroom, plus GIMP and the usual. Where should I start?
In CD, the arrow on the right is the original. Then I applied convert to bitman and got what is on the left.
Why shadow is gone, why the fontain fill (white) become transparency?

I need to outline this, and really don't want to have to trace the whole thing. What I have been doing with the rest of this persons design is duplicating it, getting just an outline by getting rid of whatever isn't needed. Making it a wide outline and then doing create outline to object, getting rid of extra inner lines, and then I have the outline (cut line) that I need. The computer is saying that this one is too much for it to do that.
I have to make it a tiny jpg in order to upload here. The original is made out of MANY lines, but I have a vectorized outline that fits it, but not an outline that is like 1/8 or 3/16 inches all the way around it. It is being cut out to go on vehicle doors, trailers, etc. The details are way too small to have it cut right up to it.
If I export an image out of CDx5 as a tiff or jpg and print it on the Roland VS640 any white areas are off grey.
If I export an image as eps or pdf with a bitmap with a white background in the content the white background is off grey...eg. client supplies their logo as jpg format to go onto a white banner.

I have a problem with exporting bitmaps (for icons)., The resulting image is totally distorted compared to the original document. I define document size to 16x16 pixels with a 72 dpi resolution. I would like to have the exported bmp image to be an exact copy of the illustration, thus having unchecked the anti aliasing function and every object is designed to match the pixel size. The same happens if I try to convert the graphic to a bitmap, see screenshots below. I have attached the original cdr file.
Let's say I have a letter 'B' and I want to create an outline on the outer boundary only and not the inner boundary i.e. the two small 'D', how can I achieve that?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI want to create some text that has a outline but with a little bit of space in between the text and the outline. What is the best way to do this?
Usually, I will create text and add an outline. Then convert the outline to an object and change the color to whatever the background color of the document is. Then I will add an outline to that object (the one that used to be the text outline) and I end up with essentially two outlines.
It usually isn't that difficult but sometimes the text does not cooperate and when I add an outline it has all kind of gaps and points. So I guess I have two questions. why certain texts have those gaps and points when you try to outline them? Also, is there any easier way to make an outline that is not directly against the text like this.

View 15 Replies View RelatedIf I have a bitmap image that has been cropped to an irregular shape (say a star or pear etc) is there any way in CorelDraw to replace the image without having to crop and position the bitmap all over again. I thought It would be as simple as clicking edit bitmap & pasting the new image once in corel photo paint but that does not seem to be the case.
edit: also is it possible to swap the image with a higher resolution version.

Is there a way to achieve the same distress effect with transparency with FILL ? pattern fill maybe? eg can i save in some format this bitmap to use it maybe as a pattern in pattern fill and retain transparency ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen you size the outline of an object on your properties bar to say "4.0pt.". And check "size with image" in "Object properties" docker
And when you either expand or contract your image...shouldn't your "Object Properties" docker show the size of the outline relative to the size of the outline when you expand or contract your image.
Example: outline is 4.0pt. on object........when expanded to a size bigger the outline is let's say 8.234pt. In the "object Properties" docker the outline says 4.0pt. Shouldn't it show "8.234pt. as well?
I am trying to do a bitmap trace of an image. The resulting vector is OK, except that, between every shape of a single color, there is a line, and that line is made a color, either transparent, or a specified color - and thickness.
The preview creates a desired result, but the end product is the problem. When I click on the vector, I can change the color of the lines between the colors in the vector, and in the dockers, I can change the thickness to "none" but a line still exists between the shapes. The previews are just fine, what can I do to make this guy not look like a puzzle? Its as if the shapes in the vector do not touch each other. The previews show no lines between the shapes/colors, except in the final output.

I have traced this image from a Jpeg into a Vector to colour but how can I change the black out lines into other colours. When I right click the mouse with an outline selected the colour appears around the line but there is still a fine black line in the centre of it. I want to change the actual outline into another colour
I am taking an online coreldraw class involving the rendering of a baseball with two opposing three-point curves.
Where can I find the button for the tab labelled " Outline width" or "outline pen window".
I am updating my CUI ribbon for some of my customized buttons. I have changed some of the bitmap images that I have saved in my network folder for the network AutoCAD customization. However, I cannot get the Ribbon to update to show the new button images.
I have opened the CUI, browsed down to the partial CUI for our corporate configuration, then to the "Ribbon", then to the "Tabs", then to the individual section of the tab and clicked on it. Then I click on the specific button in the "Panel Preview" pane to get the properties for that button to show. Then at the bottom of the "Properties" panel, I click on the "Small Image" line to see the three dots that allow you to browse to where the .bmp is stored. I have not renamed the bitmaps, but just modified their color and the way they look. So I have to change the .bmp file to a different location in the small image properties, then change it back to the correct image name. It will update the appearance in the "Panel Preview", but will not update the actual ribbon. I click on "Apply" and "OK", and it still doesn't update the actual ribbon. I have tried closing and restarting AutoCAD after that. As a last resort, I rebooted to see if that would complete the change, but in vain.
I made sure that the network location for the bitmap files is listed in my Options > Support File Search Path (very near the top of the support file list), but that still isn't solving the problem.
How to get AutoCAD to completely forget the old image that is showing on the ribbon and repopulate it with the updated bitmap image?
