Where I can find pre-made vector versions of police badges? Or would I just have to recreate the one that I have? The problem I have is the scans that I have are low res that I can't see details to work from.
View 16 RepliesI am having trouble doing this in my current software, Serif Drawplus, PSE, Photoplus, (I have Gimp but haven't used it ever yet). And I am considering buying X6 for use in other projects. So, can x6 do this in either Photo Paint with a bitmap, or in X6 with a group of Vectors?
I want to wrap a bottle with a logo. The mesh warps aren't working for me in the above applications, and envelope warping will not work either. Transform-Warp is not present in PSE. I mention that because I see a tutorial for PS using that. How would Corel X6 Suite do this? I am considering buying the software once some questions I have about it are cleared up. I wish Corel would make the manual and tutorial videos public. I'd rather download the trial for actually using it rather than trying to see if some feature is present, or a workaround for a feature a competitor has.
I am also hoping to make in this project, some 10-20 different bottles with the logo on, of different sized bottles and different rotations of the bottles. Plan D is acquainting myself with Blender, but lets hope I don't have to go that far!
Ive recently started making button badges (or at least trying to make them) on Photoshop CS3 Extended.
I have downloaded a good template for a 1" button badge, complete with layers & guide lines. I have managed to figure out how to make my own designs and Im slowly getting to grips with how layers work, so as you can tell,
What I would like to be able to do in import or insert a scanned image or photo onto the template so I can make badges with photos or images from the web (e.g. football team emblems etc.). Is it possible to do this? Also can you import/insert images & then re-size them to fit the template so the image will be the right size for the badge?
I have numbers of images with the badge that says 'metadat files need to be updated' I save but the badge remains. I have saved repeatedly, no change. I quit and reopened, no change. I opened the image in the finder - the image looks like an unprocessed CR2 but if I open in PSCS5 the processing changes are shown.

Is this another glitch in LR5 on the mac (Imac)? I bought LR5 2-3 weeks ago and had series of problems and find Adobe non Responsive
I am using LR 4.2 (on Mac) and have been using LR since 2.0. Yesterday all the badges on all my photos disappeared in Grid View. I didn't change any prefernce settings, or update that I am aware of. When I go to View > Grid View Styles> Show Badges, that option is checked, however it is grayed out. On the Mac that usually indicates it is not a viable option.
I've restarted the program but the problem remains. how to bring back badges?
I've been using LR for a while and just in the last week or so I've noticed that in the develope module the badges on the thumbnails in the filmstrip have disappeared. Have I accidentally clicked on something and switched them off? I can hover over a highlighted thumbnail and right click, go to the view options and see that there's a check mark next to the "show badges" option.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI do most of my work on my desktop, and all the files are held there with xmp files. On my laptop, I import the photos in their folders, but leave the files on the desktop, and I am now going to be doing that more with the new smart preview option.
The one problem I have, though, is that the pick flags are not in the metadata, and therefore don't cross to the laptop. Is there any way this can be done? I use the laptop to show others, and to allow them to choose the photos they want, so it would be good to have the flags and the colour badges, and for the traffic to go in both directions.
I tried using envelope, add perspective, blend mode... and still i cant get the effect of the windows that twist with the film.

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.
I have created an 18 layered object on Corel Draw X4 using vectors and I would like to make it blur and streak from the back, to create the illusion that it's actually in high motion.
I have tried looking for the answer to my question on this site and elsewhere and only find the answer if it were a bitmap, yet I don't necessarily want to transfer it into bitmap as I would like to keep the smooth edges.
In previous versions of CorelDraw, a vector graphic could be saved as a WordPerfect Graphic with a .wpg extension.
When you pulled this graphic into MS Word, it printed as a vector graphic and was perfect. This was great for such things as signatures, and looked realistic.
BUT with subsequent versions of MSWord, the .wpg graphic is no longer recognized, so one is left having to export a .cdr vector graphic as an .emf file which is NOT vector graphics and looks pixellated.
Interestingly, I can copy a .wpg image from a file made with Office 2007, into Office 2010 and it takes it!
Any alternative format that one can use to get Word to recognize as a vector graphic?
What I'm wanting to do is be able to draw a vector object and use it as a pattern fill.
I need to be able to node edit the created pattern. I'd also like (the option) to be able to scale the destination object, and the pattern scales with it.
I figure it be much easier to use/create a fill pattern then duplicate all day long. Now (as example) there is the built-in "Star Shapes" pattern which is a black filled star.
I need to be able to change that to a a red hairline stroke, no fill pattern as example.
How to convert clipart files into dxf vector files if this is possible?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI purchased CorelDraw X6 because it is a vector based program. I use vector drawings with my CAM software. I checked before purchasing that CorelDraw exported to AI and DXF. I have not been able to export the file to AI or DXF and have the file be in a vector form. When I try loading the AI or DXF file, the file is a bitmap.
What do I have to do to get Corel Draw to export the lines in a vector format that I can use?
I am not using X6 to fully create all of my artwork just yet. I'm still using X4 for my big jobs, but am fooling around with new features in X6 as I need them and am trying to copy them to the clipboard while in X6 and then paste them into X4.
Whenever I do this, the artwork that I paste into X4 is always pasted as an Object and not a regular vector file like what usually happens while cutting and pasting between previous versions.
Is this a bug or is there a setting that I'm missing in X6 to change it so that it will paste into X4 as a regular vector file?
To avoid this problem for now, I've been having to save the X6 artwork as CDR Version 14 and then import it into X4. It's a waste of time compared to hitting Cntrl+C and Cntrl+V...I know it doesn't seem like much more time, but it adds up over the day.
How do I smooth out a curve that has jagged edges after it is resized?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn all my previous programs I have managed to change the default to no fill effect in a vector shape, the default in X6 is a fill effect even though there is no colour so as long as the shape is on top you can click anywhere and it is picked. I can't find where to change this to empty space.
I am sure it must be in front of me but I just can't find it!

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.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI imported a vector image into an existing file. Then I ungrouped the imported image and changed the colors. Now I can want to shift the position and copy the imported image into another design.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using CorelDraw x6. I imported some AI clipart into my drawing. While the clipart looks fine on screen, when printing the image to my HP Color LaserJet some of the clipart doesn't render correctly (see attachment).

BTW, when printing to an HP ink jet or converting the image to PDF then printing it looks fine. Only on the color LaserJet does this happen.
