I recently jumped from C-12 to X5, and now I simply can not work properly.
After creating an image and converting it to a bitmap, if it is converted to RGB I get the "failed to launch server application" error, while in CMYK everything works fine.
Re: CorelDraw X5 v 15.2.0.686 [SP3] + Windows 7 x64
After applying SP3 Draw X5's 'Edit bitmap' command is always greyed out, regardless of the bitmap selected — even when the originating file is a CPT.
At first I thought of a corrupted Workspace, so I reset Draw with F8 at execution. No dice. This makes me think there may be an odd Registry setting or ini file entry that Draw needs to 'find' Photo-Paint X5. Photo-Paint appears to have emerged from the update unscathed.
After Installing Corel X6 I found it's no longer possible to edit bitmaps directly from CorelDraw X5. I uninstalled Photopaint X5 but that didn't work. I checked the filetype and made sure that cpt files were opening with Photopaint X6 but Edit Bitmap remains greyed out in CorelDraw X5. Is this because X5 is 32 bit and X6 is 64 bit? I still need to use X5 because various macros don't work with X6. How can I get Edit Bitmap to work both in Draw X5 and Draw X6?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have just purchased X6 and are having difficulty editing a bitmap. Its unable to be selected.
After reading your posts here we have tried the following which we find quite annoying for a new program.
Surely this is something simple we have missed. All we have done is installed the X6 and run the program , clicked on a bitmap and nothing ??? This has really left a bad experience especially when we just purchased this program and it cant even edit an image. The customer support was terrible , I had to ring back because the person couldn't hear me about 8 times. It was only a search on the web that led me here.
When having photos in CorelDraw, I need to edit them so I right click on the photo and select "Edit Bitmap". I am not too familiar with Photo-Paint, and wonder if I could link to another application (ie photoshop) to make my bitmap changes.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI created a bitmap in draw 15" x 131" then right clicked the image and selected "Edit Bitmap". The image grew to 19" X 131"... I did this again just to verify and got the same results. I resamled the image back to 15". This is a big concern as we process all our printed images this way.

How can you edit the bitmap in Photoshop ? And get it the edit Bitmap menu functioning ?
The tool now appears to be greyed out , have done file repair each time , but only lasts a few goes then goes back to greyed out state.
It is impossible to get anywork done because of this bug.
As an emerbgency have had to go back to X5.
Also serial number does not work in Website Creator X6 ... more bugs.
I click on a bitmap in draw it opens up in paint fine and i edit as normal but when i save edit changes, it does not alter the bitmap within draw .

View 6 Replies View Relatedusing CorelDraw 5 with Parallels 7 on a MacBookPro to access Windows 7 and CorelDraw X5 -
Normally CorelDraw x5 will launch Photo Paint when you choose Edit Bitmap from Corel Draw. Then you can edit in photo paint and on save and close you are back in Corel Draw and able to continue there. However this is not the case for me with Parallels 7. It does not launch Photo Paint as expected.
I do a LOT of photo editing while using CorelDraw X6. It was really handy to launch the photo editor with the icon. How can I get it to launch, again?
View 7 Replies View RelatedURL.... "Failed to launch server application" when trying to edit a bitmap out of CorelDraw, only later saw that specific post was for X3. I have the same trouble, only with X4.
To recap my problem: When calling the "edit bitmap" function in X4 - I receive this message: "Failed to launch server application". Paint opens, closes, opens, closes and then the message pops up.
I tested several files, different bitmaps, different dpi's, new files with newly converted bitmaps (filled rectangle to bitmap). To no avail.
complete Corel X4 uninstall 3 times already .... even went so far as to reboot the registry to a date before I installed Corel X4 Suite to no avail.
The program has had no issues until the last 2 weeks. The actual issue I am having is Paint works fine as a separate entity however when I try to edit a bitmap from within X4 an error pops up telling me "Failed to launch server application" This is a major PITB as I own a graphics company and this is causing no end of problems
I wanted to edit the table, by adding a row, but it refuses to make any changes.
So, I went ahead and made a new table, but now I cannot delete the old one, nor move it anywhere.
I checked all of the cells and the table in general, but none of it is locked.
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 ?
sample file (X4)
A customer sent me an RGB bitmap with a transparent background. I converted it to a grayscale and I erase it in PhotoPaint but can't paint over it. This isn't the original bitmap, I converted it and assumed that would get rid of any clip masks or other attributes.
Here's the bitmap as a JPEG.
Should be a simple question. Using Designer Pro X I load a PNG file. I then do nothing except "save as" also in PNG format.
My expectation was I would get the same file. Instead it seems to have changed the resolution and now looks terrible.
An ordinary graphic program like paint.net or photoshop would save the same file back to disk.
There must be something I am failing to understand about Xara. How do I edit a bitmap and have it save back in its original resolution?
One 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 might be missing something when searching for macros that allow you to do this but I thought I'd give this a shot.
Is there a way to copy a graphic from Photoshop using Cntrl+C and then use Cntrl+V to paste it into CorelDraw as an actual Bitmap and not a Photoshop object that I will have to then use the Convert to Bitmap?
Is there a way to set the "convert to bitmap" defaults? Specifically, in X5 I find it defaults to "transparent background" checked and I'd like it to default to no transparent background by default.

I am creating a backdrop in CorelDraw XV from a 9" 600 mb tiff. I need to have a finished product at 240" wide, 60" tall, so it can be blown up to 40'X10'. The largest that it seems I can go is 50" wide.

my previous file contains barcode it 90 deg position. when i open it with X4 it rotated to 0 deg and full stretch
i resize it to normal size but cant rotate it to 90 deg like used to before. i tried it with transform tool, but the apply button is closed
the problem with embedded bitmap are similar, can't rotate it too.
I have a bunch of objects on a CorelDraw page that together make up a button for a web page. I select all the objects: the toolbar tells me that the selection is 281px x 59px.
I press Export, selected only, the preview comes up. My button suddenly is 283px x 61px. Looking closely I can see a faint border around the actual button image.
What setting do I have to change to make it export what I tell him and not what he thinks?
What is the auto inflate bitmap?
I tried inflate bitmap and it occurs only white borders to bitmap.
So, where can i use this feature and what is the auto inflate bitmaps?
Frequently, I want to copy a bitmap from PhotoPaint X6 and paste into Corel Draw X6. I want to avoid exporting or saving the bitmap - just copy and paste. So what I'm copying is a CPT. I am having no luck pasting into Corel Draw from Photo Paint. I can copy and paste from Photo Paint into WordPerfect X4 although I do get the message that the "OLE object could not be created".
I've used the Copy/Paste from Edit and also the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. The option to Paste Special is not available in Corel Draw under these circumstances.
I'm running Vista Home Premium and have installed all updates to the Windows system.
Latest version installed (16.2)
If I draw a shape (or select an already existing shape) and choose "Bitmap Fill" or "Full Color Pattern" CDX6 freezes and then after several seconds throws the "CorelDRAW X6 has stopped working" error at me with the only options to "Check online for a solution..." or "Close the program"
Prior to the 16.2 update CDX6 would freeze in the above circumstances but eventually come out of it and apply the fill (program wouldn't have to be closed).
All other fills work as expected. This is a Win7 32-bit system.

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.
