Whenever I export a vector containing blend groups from CDR x5 to AI , the corresponding AI file does not contain the blend group, rather a simple group of 50 objects that have to be deleted and the blending redone in illustrator.
View 9 Repliesis there a way to make a blend on an irregular object, for instance an object made with custom curves using the bezier tool. I can get it to blend with a circle or square. Here is an example, this is my website. URL..... I did the top graphic one object at a time.

SPECS:
Adobe CS4
MAC 10.5.8
I got a outlined Text blend with a drop shadow. And another text with a drop shadow on top. Not too complex at all. Heres some screenshots of the problem.

I'm making a layout of 2 inch squares, 20 wide and 5 tall, to make color swatches for matching a target color. I'm then taking a starting value and using the edit colors>blend vertically, and blend horizontally to blend the color in the direction I think it needs. But every three or so blends i make it crashes the program, and even when I save my progress it crashes half the time. its a simple file just 2 inch square with color files.
I'm using CS6 on a osx10.6.8 ALL other jobs I've been working on have been fine.
I started to use Illustrator since CS2 and done heaps of shapes using the 3d feature.ever since cs5 and beyond, ive encountered a problem when ever I import or copy paiste from illustrator into Photoshop my 3d shape tends to have missing blend steps. I'm setting it to 256 blend steps to get a smooth transition but when i import my Ai into ps or copy paiste it notice that it leaves some small gaps in between the blends. Now does this happen to any other users?
On the left is illustrator using 3d and on the right is the copy paisted/imported Ai file,ive put a red shape behind the yellow ace of spade to make it clear that the red is noticeable.
When I use the blend tool for a smooth blend, the blends comes out jagged and horrible, as if it is doing a step blend rather than a smooth blend. I have used the tool before by either using the shortcut (Alt+Ctrl+B) or using it via the Object>Blend pathway and it worked out fine, but now Illustrator doesn't want to create a smooth blend.
What I'm trying to say is; is there an option that is causing this to happen that I may have accidently turned on, or has my copy of Illustrator gone into stupidity mode and I need to reinstall it?
I've attached pictures of what I mean with the settings I'm using and outputs. I hope your collective minds can smack this one in the face. I'm sure I'm doing something ridiculously simple to cause this.

I'm converting everything to curves and then export to illustrator but when the file opens in illustrator text is often filled in 'o's and p's usually fill in solid or do other weird things .
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 13 Replies View RelatedWhen I export a CorelDraw file to Illustrator, Corel has a habit of turning all objects into transparencies. So I have to convert them back into opaque objects in Illustrator, which can take a long time since I'm doing illustrations that have on average 1000 + objects, most of them opaque. I'm using the default export settings, and changing which version of Illustrator I'm exporting to doesn't seem to work.
I'm wondering if this is a glitch with CorelDraw X5 or do I have some box checked that shouldn't be?
look at the area that contains the globe. Behind it there is a blurred swirl of colours.
how this colour-blur/blend effect is achieved? I've tried blurring but it looks really poor.
I am trying to blend two pictures using layer masks and the gradient tool. I have seen a tutorial from photoshop which enables you to place one picture on the top of the other and using the gradient tool blend and expose the background from all corners of the picture, in fact any part of the picture. However when I try to do multiple blends in GIMP, the first blend works OK but when I go to do the second one, the first one is deleted. The photoshop example showed a ladies face with forest scene and waterfall as a background. In that example with the face in the foreground, it was possible to blend from a number of places from all sides and each time a blend was done, it would remain there even after more blends were done. Does GIMP have the same capability for doing this as photoshop?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been trying to extract the logic behind Xara's handling of multi-stage blends, but am having trouble.
Here's an example. I have these objects:
and create a blend between the left two
now, to continue with a multi-stage blend, I connect the bottom control point of the second object with the bottom control point of the third
All well and good. However, if I had tried to connect the top point of the second object with the top point of the third, like this (screenshot taken just before I release the mouse button)
Xara decides to blend from the first object to the third.
Eventually, by trial and error, I can get my multi-stage blends working, but it's inscrutable why it works logically sometimes, and why not.
I'm exporting a CorelDrawX5 file as an EPS so it can be opened in Router VCarve software. All the lines of the artwork in the CDR file show up as solid lines before being exported.
After being opened in the Router software as an EPS, the lined artwork shows up in pieces. I've never had this issue before with the Vcarve software or Corel, but I even tried rebuilding the files from scratch, and it still happened so I'm thinking its a corel issue.
I am using corel x6 and out putting to laser engraver/cutter, router and water jet. For laser engraving in particular i am have trouble getting a reasonable image. It ends up being pixulated. An it is odd as some times i am engraving one inch square area and some times 2 feet square. The relationship between DPI and size seems to be broken and i can not figure out why. I am normally working with vectors but some times i need to engrave with a bit map. So i will export the vector to a bit map then import the bitmap into a new document and output to the laser. I output to the laser directly from with in corel 13. It is when i import into corel that i can see that the bitmap is pixulated. if I export at 1200 dpi it is better but not good enough. For an 11 inch square out put i think it was a 43 mb file. [URL]....

Currently if you have text that has been converted to curves, all of the letters with counters (or holes in them like O, P, B etc) get cut in half. Surely there's a way to stop this?
Which exporting method/format do you use to export your CorelDRAW projects? I'm talking about exporting web projects for Web purposes so the default colors of my doc are RGB, the default resolution is set to 300 dpi.
I tried many combinations, but the only way to get EXACTLY the same image as on my screen, is to do a "print screen" and then paste it on any photo editing program with no background, and save as JPEG.
I calibrated my monitor with Samsung's Natural Color Pro, and I added the created profile to "RGB profile" in "color settings" (so I don't use the standard sRGB profile).
Another information, I exports my projects to .JPG format, maybe I'm wrong? I use .JPG because the results are acceptable and the exported file size is low compared with other formats.
First of all I don't use the "export" option from the "file" menu anymore, because after a few attempts and combinations with this option, the results were just AWFUL, even when I opened the .JPG file on the same computer on which the project was created (so in theory it should be OK on my screen but not necessarily on other computers with sRGB, or custom calibrated profiles). I think it is because CorelDRAW embed my "Samsung Natural Color Pro ICM" profile, which won't display the image correctly on computers with other color profiles installed.
That's why the tool I use to export is "export soft proof" in the "color Proof settings", clicking "preserve RGB numbers", also in .JPG. With this option I have the possibility to embed another color profile, for example sRGB or even AdobeRGB to the project, and the results are acceptable but... they STILL look slightly different from what I have dispalyed on my screen. And here I think the main reason is "background color" option. I cannot uncheck it, or set to "no background", and I have noticed that the chosen color influences the look of my project. So with white color background it will be a little "washed out", with black it will be to dark etc..
With .PNG format I also don't get satisfying results, I tried with different settings combinations, still the colors are washed out with no saturation, maybe I didn't figured out yet how to set it properly?
Finally, I can get a perfect result (in that sense that as far as I can see, it is identic with what I have on my screen in CorelDRAW) with .BMP format, but first I don't know if this format is compatible and adequate for Web purposes, and second the files are pretty big after such conversion, even after decreasing the resolution to 96 dpi.
I am trying to export my file to a jpeg o that i can print out my file on a Walmart Photo center & I am having no luck.
View 8 Replies View RelatedOne of our tech writers has a handful of screenshots (mostly JPEGs and TIFFs) that he wants to use in a manual. However, the customer requires that the graphics provided to them be in .cgm format.
Despite all of my attempts (using CorelDraw X5) to import the bitmaps and then save as or export to .cgm, the customer says the files are "blank" and unusable. When I try and open the .cgm files I created using a web-based file viewer, the graphics show up as completely black. I have opened known good .cgm files with this same viewer, and the graphics show up as expected.
I have tried all of the different options avaialble to me (to the best of my knowledge; to call me a novice with Corel would be an understatement), with no success. Am I missing something? Or is there some other way I should try and accomplish this?
I need to export on a regular basis parts of a X6 file to eps. The files are huge an can contain all sorts of filter. They are all powerclips, some with shadows and transparency and symbols containing JPG's.
When i export the first part of it most at the time it works well, exporting the second set I am ending up with only half the data. If I copy and past into a new document and try from there I might get lucky or some other parts are missing, if I reduce the size by 50 percent same thing.
When I export my CDR file to EPS, which I've done thousands of time, it seems to export, but when I try to open it, I get an error "The file.......is an unknown format and cannot be opened". When I look at the file profile in my documents, I can see that it says "0 KB"
I can open up older EPS files from my documents fine, but not able to do that now.

I created a vector design in Corel X6 using a vector powerclip in the design. I would like to be able to export it as EPS and AI but when I do this and view it. the powerclip portion of the image separates from container. The power clipped image is just sitting on top of the image that it was clipped to. Is there a work around for this? I want to keep my image intact.
I'm attempting to print a picture for a present and I can't get file printed like Corel X6 displays it. I'm using a Deskjet printer. What are the correct settings for a quality printing?

I export simple text to .ai file format for my vinyl cutter to cut names. However, after importing into vinyl cutting program, the letters are split. The 'o', 'a' and 'e' all have a vertical line through them. However, when I export from X3, there is no issue.

I seem to be having a problem upon exporting the file to a PDF, which is very image heavy. All of the images in the file are at least 300 DPI if not much, much larger. However, when I export to PDF the image resolutions are very low. When I sent it to the printer (who does not accept CorelDraw files so it has to be PDF) they remarked upon the low resolution and you can tell the quality is terrible on the proof. When I print a copy of the brochure on just our color printer at work (same size as the brochure...it is not larger) the images are completely fine. What am I doing incorrectly?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI recently created a logo for a website in coreldraw. It was a black and yellow taxi sign. When I exported to png 24, and put it online, it did not look quite black, more like a bit brownish actually. Opened it in photoshop and sure enough, instead of #000000 my black is now #373435 ...
I need it to remain black. I made sure I chose black, and it looks black in CD, but again, export to png 24 and it's no longer black.
I have the problem to export the file either png or jpg to the exact 330x250 px. The thing is it exports to 330x249!! and I cant upload the design. I know how to export because any other sizes work fine e.g. there is no problem in exporting to 331x251 px, but can't export to 330x250.
