Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5 :: Converting Bitmaps To Vectors
Oct 23, 2012I have simple outline drawings - like stars or paisleys - that I scan into PhotoPaint X5. So, to turn it into a vector drawing, I manually fill the outline drawing with the paintbrush, convert it to 1 bit, import it into CorelDraw, use the Trace Bitmap - outline trace - clip art, then do a hairline outline and remove the fill. I end up with a hairline outline of the original object that I can send to my laser. The objects must remain the same size as the original drawing.
Here's why I do some of what I outlined above. First, I manually fill the drawing because if I try to do the trace bitmap in CorelDraw X5 using the outline trace, it traces both the inside and the outside of the original line drawing because the line is thick. If I try the Trace Bitmap and select Centerline Trace, I the result is a jaggy line which won't work.
I think what I need most is a way to fill the object automatically rather than paint the inside of it. I thought I could just select the object in PhotoPaint and click on the fill, but it seems that the "object" is the outline drawing plus the background, so the fill ends up being the whole "object" including the background. I can Lasso the outline drawing and move it around on the background, but can't figure out how to do much else.
Paint.NET :: Allow To Save 256 Colour Bitmaps?
Jan 25, 2012if there is a plug in that will allow me to save 256 Colour bitmaps? The reason I ask is because I am trying to make map tilesets for a particular game that I like to play and they have to be 256 colour bitmaps. I know I could use GIMP, but I don't find it very user-friendly.

Nov 18, 2011I just noticed that bitmap images always get jagged edges when rotated in Corel Draw X5. I first thought it's just the editing preview on the screen, but I've noticed that the edges are visible even when exported to any bitmap at 300dpi. So now I worry if the jagged images will also be visible in print!?
note that imported images are all in approx 12MP resolution, so when I import them, I actually reduce the size by converting the photo to 300dpi bitmap with anti-aliasing ON. I tried rotating prior to and after the "Convert to bitmap 300DPI" command. The edges are always jagged. Other parts of the image besides the edges are well anti-aliased.
CorelDRAW X6 :: Bitmaps Printing With Faded Blue Box Around?
May 8, 2012I installed X6 the other day and now and again I notice it prints a faded blue box around a bitmap. I have seen this happen in older versions of acrobat, but not sure why this would happen in X6. I went back to X4 and it prints just fine.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Reflections For Bitmaps
Jun 9, 2013I've found a couple of discussions on creating reflections for vector objects, but what about bitmaps?
Whilst searching through stock photos, I started noticing some of those common isolated images on a "reflective" surface are rather lazily created resulting in just plain wrong reflections. I'm talking mostly about those "people standing around" images, but it could apply to anything.
Here's an example of what I mean:
Now if these folks were standing on a reflective surface, their reflections would meet where they touch. Note how some appear to be standing on one foot, because the reflection of the other foot doesn't meet. Or it looks like they're standing on their toes because the heel is off. Obviously this was done by simply flipping the image and fading it.
Here's a link to the stock photo if you want to see the whole thing. Here's another one where everyone appears to be standing on their toes.
A couple of times I've attempted to correct this by creating my own reflections. With some fudging and distortion of the reflected outline, I managed, but typically had to have a very fast fade. Easier to create a vector trace, then shade it grey and use that. It gets increasingly more difficult the more distinct and clear you want the reflection. Studying reality, if someone were standing on a mirror, their reflection would have the perspective of looking up at them from the bottom.
So how would you approach creating a reflection from a bitmap where there is no straight line defining the reflection line?
CorelDRAW X6 :: PDF Generated From AI - Bitmaps Broken On Import
Jul 23, 2012I received an PDF file from my client's designer which was generated from AI. When I import it into CorelDraw, the bitmaps are in broken pieces, and the tone element is also broken into solid pieces.
I wonder if the problem is with the PDF or it's CorelDraw.

Jan 2, 2013Is there a way to have Corel Draw re-import images I imported into Draw? I have a bunch of images I imported, power clipped, and did a few other things to but I did not edit the bitmap itself. I'm using CD to outline the bitmap to create a white back ground for the image. Now I adjusted the bitmaps in After Shot Pro so it looks better and now I want CD to use the new bitmap and not the one I imported but I dont want to go through all the power clipping ect ect again.
I named all the files the same so is there a way for CD to re-import all the bitmaps again?

CorelDRAW X5 :: Converting Many RGB To CMYK Bitmaps - Relative Vs Perceptual
May 20, 2011I have a document which contains around 100 RGB bitmaps arranged in a collage. Now this is going to be printed offset, delivered via pdf with cmyk swopv2 color profile.
Most of the rgb to cmyk converted images look best with relative colormetric as they're fairly close to the cmyk gamut and this maintains the saturation and colors I'm looking for. However, some wider-gamut images look much better with perceptual rendering intent.
Is there any quick way to pick my rendering intent when doing individual bitmap mode conversions in draw, so I can hand select which images are converted using relative colormetric and which using perceptual?
i.e. click one bitmap, menu bitmap, mode, cmyk using perceptual,or menu bitmap, mode, cmyk using relative colormetric?
Right now the quickest way I can seem to achieve this is to manually set the whole color management to perceptual, select by eye and convert those images to cmyk that are well outside the cmyk gamut, then set it back to relative colormetric and generate the pdf cmyk which then makes those rgb images not manually converted while it was set to perceptual be converted via the now set relative colorimetric. It works, but I wish I had more interactive control on the mode conversion bitmap by bitmap.
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Why Imported Bitmaps Are So Low Resolution

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Exporting Bitmaps To Illustrator
Oct 5, 2012I 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.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Can Convert Embedded Bitmaps From Within PDFs Into Vector Files
Jul 6, 2012I create vector drawings in Microsoft Office Visio and I need to be able to convert raster images from PDFs into vector images compatible with Visio. I've tried tracing the bitmap with various options but the line quality produced when saved to a .svg file is not adequate for our needs. Images from a PDF that are not embedded work perfectly by saving to a .svg file, but the bitmap comes in as one unusable entity. Simply put, can X6 convert embedded bitmaps from within PDFs into vector files?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Envelope / Warp Or Pincushion Adjustments For Bitmaps?

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Trying To Export Bitmaps To Large Format Printer
Sep 11, 2013Recurring problem i'm having with bitmaps im trying to export to our large format printer. Some bitmaps are coming up with a grey type filter or lens that corel is automatically putting over my photo.
When i export this' filter' remains on the picture.
If i hit 'edit bitmap' the photo comes up normal with all the colours as it should be. Hit 'save' and it goes straight back to having a grey filter over it? Its only with some photos and the other ones are the same profile on the same page? It seems to be always the physically largest one in size (not dpi) I have tried converting to a cmyk bitmap instead of RGB.
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 :: Color Profile Missing When Dropping Bitmaps
Dec 1, 2012After the X6.2 service pack everything looked fine at first, but when dropping bitmaps, Draw now regularly complains about missing the color profile. Of course the bitmaps have profiles embedded, and Draw had never complained about those same bitmaps before. Well, I have everything in AdobeRGB or IsoCoated v2 CMYK, and these are also the standard settings in CorelDraw. So it didn't make a difference eventually, colors remained the same to the numbers.
However, I re-calibrated my display a little later, installed the new profile, opened Draw and was shocked: stridently over-saturated colors in bitmap images as well as in vector graphics, nowhere near their appearance in four-color print (they had been pretty close before). In other color-managed applications everything looks fine, only CorelDraw is concerned. It still does respond to display profile changes, it does adjust colors when a different profile is installed, but the over-saturation is always there. Color definitions are not changed and output is as ever, it is only Corel's rendering of display colors.
I believe that this reaction to a change of the system display profile and the ignorance of profiles embedded in bitmaps go back to the same problem with color management.
Is there a registry hack or something to make it recognize color profiles properly again, or do we have to wait for the next SP to fix a bug brought in by the last?
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 :: Applying Spot Colors To Grayscale Bitmaps?
Jul 14, 2011We have a new Roland printer, an LEJ-640, which prints in CMYK plus white and clear gloss.
In order to print a white bitmap, I must apply a spot color to the bitmap. I used the Bitmap|Mode|Dutone to apply the white spot color and it seems to work correctly--it shows up as a spot color when I use the print dialog to preview separations.
When I use either print to file with the RolandVW print driver or File|Publish to PDF, the spot color on the bitmap is not preserved, Versaworks does not recognize it as a spot color. Color output is set to "Native". However, a vector object on the same page with the same spot color applied is recognized as a spot color.
The pink part in the versaworks screenshot indicates white spot color, as you can see only the vector object is recognized.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 :: Paste Objects From CorelDraw
Nov 28, 2012In my opinion removing window with paste parameters like size and dpi in X6 was bad decision.
Now I have to remember to make vector objects big enough to avoid pasting them too small in photopaint.

As webdesigner I can tell that old version of "paste" had better functionality .
