I am using CorelDraw X4.
If I place a filled circular object with an attached drop shaddow on top a colored background, it appears as I expect on my monitor. If I print it, the print preview still looks correct, but the actual print shows a white rectangle below the circle and above the shaddow. It blocks part of the shaddow.

I'm exporting files as .eps to print them with my roland printer using versaworks.
The problem is when i'm exporting files from my desk computer, (CorelDraw X6) and then I print it I have this problem. my bitmap components in the file are printed with many more pixel than before. and I don't know why.
Maybe since I updated my X6 version? It does that with files that contain drop shadow effects or transparency.
The thing is when i'm exporting the same file with my Laptop, using Coreldraw X5 and I then print it, I don't have this problem. So the printer's software is not the problem. I double cheked all my .eps exporting settings and they are the same in both computer.
You can see on these pictures what's right and what's wrong.
How I could copy drop shadow to another object?

I've asked this in the X5 board before, gave up, and it's still bugging me with X6.

So I group a few objects, apply drop shadow to the group, and now I want to select one of the object in the group (to move it or resize it, etc).
I just can't find an effective way to do this without discarding the drop shadow, edit, and reapply the drop shadow. There have been many suggestion that seems to work for certain people, i.e. Ctrl+Click, Ctrl+Alt+Click, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Click, but none works as desire.
In the attached example, I try to select the red square. If I Ctrl+Click, it selects the whole group. If I Ctrl+Alt+Click, it either selects the yellow circle, or edits the drop shadow.
If I Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Click, the result is random. It either selects the blue background square, or selects the yellow circle, or edits the drop shadow, and once in a blue moon successfully selects the red square.
I have 3 objects A, B, C, I group them together, apply a drop shadow.Now, let's say I need to resize or reposition one of them, I'm unable to select the particular object.
It's suppose to work with Alt+Ctrl+Click, but it doesn't.I always end up with editing the drop shadow rather than selecting the object. It's very trouble some needing to discard the drop shadow, make the changes, and re-apply the drop shadow.
Is not possible to apply Drop Shadow directly to a beveled object? I can get this only after converting object to bitmap.

When I group a few objects together, and apply drop shadow to the group, I cannot edit the individual object in the group (cannot pick it to move it or resize it etc) without removing the drop shadow.

View 12 Replies View Relatedis there a way to make a drop shadow for an invisible object. because i want only the shadow of the pipe im drawing. when i set the opacity of the pipe to 0, the shadow turns invisible too.
i tried the dodge/burn tools, but they dont give me the same shadow as the other pipes in the image.
For my business card design I have white text overlapping an area of very white grey- causing readability issues (insufficient contrast). It looks great apart from this one problem, so I still want to keep my white text and light background and fix it by separating the text and background with a darker drop shadow..
First, I added a black drop shadow to the text- but this was not enough to increase readability (text still looked faded on background as drop shadow was too subtle at 85% opacity, 0.04" blur) so I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow (100% opacity, 0.02" blur + 18% opacity, 0.02" blur). This produced a heavier drop shadow effect for my text as desired but, for some reason, the text came out slightly grey in print (offset run). It seems the drop shadow somehow got printed over the text itself to some extent- turning the white text somewhat grey (and so not looking as clean as intended).
How could this dropshadow bleed into the text happen? Is it to do with the fact I added a drop shadow to my drop shadow? I would have thought that, even then, the text should entirely overlap all of the drop shadow as the text is the top layer in the group.
What can I do to ensure that drop shadow does not print over text in any way in future? Do I have to stick to only one layer of dropshadow-or is there something else I'm missing?
I have an object with a drop shadow. I want to rotate the object and the drop shadow 90 degrees. But when I rotate the object, the drop shadow does not rotate along with the object.
How to lock the drop shadow so that it will rotate with the object. p.s. I already know how to change the angle of the drop shadow.
I just need to be able to have the glow or shadow around the object, but no fill or stroke at all.

I only added the good version of the what i am trying to achieve.
Here is the result we are actually getting !
I apply a red glow on an object (rectangle) on an black background.When exported as JPEG or PDF, the red glow color faded become greyish. I check that it's same when I turn the proof colors on.I've change different modes for the drop shadow but none gives the correct result.
This only happens in CMYK mode. When exported as RGB, it's fine.
Applying contour to a text and trying to apply a drop shadow afterwards, the drop shadow properties can not be set.
No matter what item you select in the Object Manager, the drop shadow toolbar's controls are all disabled.
PS: I just noticed this is true for the drop shadow tool in CorelDRAW X6.2 in gereral. I'm not able to edit any of the drop shadow properties.

Edit: actually, I'm seeing that this is not working in Contour, either. And it may not be working in other effects as well, although I haven't tested those.

In the file and the hard print the shadow comes out as a reddish color. How do I get the shadow Black?
I've learned from the forums that it's best to separate drop shadows from their objects for printing, and even better to then convert them to bitmaps. Since this is a very old solution, I was wondering if X5 has a way to do this to all drop shadows on a page (or all in a document) instead of having to do it manually one by one.
How do Corelians get around losing the editability of the shadows with this workaround?
