Completely new to graphic designs, how to properly use CorelDRAW for anything. I am attempting for the first time to convert a bitmap logo to a vector image.
I am able to upload the image into CorelDraw X5, but after that I am just guessing along as what to do and ultimately accomplishing nothing more than frustration.
Whenever I use the Trace option to convert, the result is an image filled with closed objects. Because I use vector images with a laser machine, and because the laser cuts everything it reads, the "double" lines (shared lines of the objects) get cut as many times as they appear. So I have to go in and break apart and delete segments & this goes on for days. I've tried welding, but welding makes one of the objects disappear completely. I've tried changing from cdr to svg, exporting & importing, hoping it would simplify, but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to have the bitmap converted to simple lines instead of overlapping objects?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a bitmap of a straight piece of chain; it is about 3.76” long. I have a vector circle which is 15” in diameter. I would like to have the chain follow completely around the circle. After the chain follows the circle, I would like to delete the vector circle. I am using X5.

This isn't something I am in need of because in the future with this graphic I would just convert the background. Just wondering why it made those odd lines coming off of the words and the black bar (I don't know how the heck you guys can post large things, things with motion, etc. I have to make things miniature to put them on here)
I assume it has something to do with how the original, that came from MillerCoors, has those layers of lines in it. I just don't get why lines would then be visible when I changed it since nothing like that has happened before. Oh, and if you are wondering why I converted it, it's because I knew my rip server wouldn't like all that stuff going on in the original
I get .ai files from customers that have drop shadows made with the "lens" effect. I want to convert them to a bitmap image with no lens effect, but if I get rid of the lens effect and then save as a bitmap image the color changes.
How can I convert objects, that have drop shadows as a "lens", to a bitmap image and have the color of the drop shadow stay the same as it was with the lens effect?
Marshall's Burger Logo (Red Background).pdf
I receive a PDF file from my client which is their logo.
The text is suppose to be vector, but they appear as bitmap and I cannot apply fill and outline to it.
I can edit the nodes with the Shape Tool after I converted it to AI or EPS format, but still cannot apply fill and outline.
Why does my vector line look like a bitmap when I shrink the image down. Instead of a sharp black line (vector), I get a broken, gradient gray black line (looks like a bitmap)?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'd like to create a vector graphic with precise object size and placement so that when I import into PhotoPaint I get a precise conversion.
For example (use no outlines):
make a black square 10mm in diameter create 9 colored squares 2mm in diameter placed 1mm from the edge of the black square and 1 mm from each other copy all your squares paste into photopaint setting size to 10 pixels square and turning anti-alias off what you get is not what you drew in corel draw
Here's my example as a vector:
and as a bitmap:
So the squares are completely the wrong size - 1 pixel larger than they should be and in the wrong position!
Interestingly if you import the same vector as a bitmap 100 pixels square it looks better - however you'll notice that the colored squares are, in fact, 21 pixels square and not 20!
The conversion process seems to make every object larger by one pixel in each dimension - not useful. I should note that this effect happens in X5 as well.
Are we able to do this now in Coreldraw X6?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI have problem with publishing my work in PDF. I have vector background (in thin stripes like) and several polygonal bitmap objects on it but in the PDF-file everything under the bitmap objects is bitmap also... And the stripes (of my background) are very ugly and jagged - part vector, part bitmap...
Could I complete that work correctly in CDR or have to search some other resolution?
When I try to convert any object to a bitmap, the resolution is highlighted but doesn't workif I want to change the existing resolution. I have to RESELECT the numbers to export to another resolution as if the resoltion WASN'T highlighted.

I'm just starting to explore converting images to vector in CorelDRAW and am running into what, I hope, is a rookie problem.
There is white space between the lettering below the main logo image and I'm wondering how to make it transparent like the rest of the background.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI want to make macro for converting Vector RGB to CMYK. So I did New Macro Project > New Module > Start Rec. > Converted some vector RGB to CMYK > Stop Recording .
Then use same macro to other but it didn't work like photoshop action. VBA basic knowledge, So any easy method can some one know which can be use as macro. Or the proper method to do it.
I am currently using this method, creating a 1-bit bitmap from a grayscale "distress" texture bitmap, choosing transparent fill or outline depending on which area i need trasparent and powerclip it in text or other vector object.
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 1 Replies View RelatedI want to do is create a rectangular frame or border around the outer edge of a CMYK bitmap image. I need to save the image as a Photoshop EPS and I need a vector border that won't be affected by resolution of output device (on screen, print, PDF, etc.).
I've tried "Select All" and create a path around the outer edge of the rectangle. How do I stroke this to get a vector frame that I can save as an EPS file? In the end, all I want is a half-point black rule around the rectangular edge of the image... nothing fancy, no special effects and no alteration of any internal element of the bitmap graphic. Just a border.
I created a drawing for a label in AutoCAD. The labels are made on an etching machine that we have and apparently the machine only accepts files in the BMP format. When I convert my drawing to a bitmap (export command), the images that I have in the label drawing (logos etc..) show up in the bitmap with borders around the images. I had set "imageframe" to 1 so I could select them when exporting the drawing. Another on of the images only has the border come in but nothing inside of the border?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen i draw a vector shape using the shape tool and then resize it, it becomes distorted and pixelated as though it has been trandformed into a bitmap image.
Any ideas why it's doing that? Is there any options i need to change. It's never done it before.
Also, when i start a new document and draw a new shape it merges it to the background layer instead of creating a new layer automatically which it used to do.
I make simple line drawings for my work but I also use some photographic models too. I was trying to figure out how to use the bitmap tracer to get a better vector line drawing for my patterns.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat i'm looking for is the equivalent of using "Path along text" (in this case for a circular path) but using already rendered bitmap data instead of text and a font. Why i need to do this is: 1. i don't have a font for the logo text i created (i don't think one exists) and 2. i would like to add some effects before "wrapping" the text around the circle.
I'm having so-so success with "distort -> polar coordinates" .

View 4 Replies View RelatedCorel 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?

Last night I created a quick little logo to watermark some pictures with; however, after alot of trying I have been unsuccessful at creating a scalable path around everything in such a way that it doesn't blur the edges. I am trying to do what is found at the link below so that I can later automate the process of inserting the watermarks:
The logo design (see below) is made from a capital letter 'D' and a lower case letter 'm' sharing vertical starting strokes with another font. I am thinking that since the two letters ('D' and 'm') are no longer text that this may not be do able. I couldn't figure out how to delete part of the 'D' and 'm' but still make it possible to 'Create Work Path'. I hope I explained this correctly...I am pretty new to photoshop. Is it possible to take what I have (the .psd version doesn't have the white background) and use it to do what they did on the link?
