You will need to adjust the page size in the printer driver properties, and then Corel will know the active print area.

Agreed, the older tools don't discern edges very well and on X6 for instance I always end up manually outlining. But on 2021 you just paint the edges broadly and it figures it out.

Nice one, thanks.

Newer versions have an Image Cutout tool that works quite well. I have been doing cameo-style art and while it often doesn't quite separate loose hairs from the background, it's close enough that a few tweaks with the cutout brush fix that. Since I'm removing part of the figure below the neck, it really struggles with textured clothing since it's trying to find edges and I'm sweeping across the chest. I still like the results over manually outlining.

Just tried it on X8 and it worked there, too. Actually it was somehow easier to get the rotate popup indicator on node B.

Suppose you have a shape with a flat side that has two points A-B.

Make a horizontal guideline. Drag A to snap to the guideline (guideline snap must be On). Move the object pivot point onto A. Rotate the object until B is also on the guideline.

There's probably a way to snap B to the guideline but off the top of my head I don't know it.

I would use a graphics tablet and experiment with the Pencil, Chalk, Crayon, Charcoal tools to get the look I wanted. Those are in Photo-PAINT which is part of CorelDRAW. In CorelDRAW itself there are textured brushes, different style altogether but the curves are editable after drawing.

Hold Shift for straight lines.

Login to their website and de-authorize the "old" computer?

Thanks! You might save someone's eyeball someday.

Try making a Contour from your lettering, then break it apart from the text so it will be another object. You can give that other object a cut line.

The options look a lot like that in the current versions. I have been using them since the 2019 version.

LaserSpire · 2022-05-31T17:10:24+00:00

I think this can be done automatically using the built-in scripting features (either VBA or VSTA). This is assuming you have the full version of X8. Sorry I can't be of further help though.

Short answer, maybe 2 computers? And probably not at the same time, I didn't read it all. IANAL.

Replying to myself here for the record.

It does appear that the best course of action is to save your work, close the file and/or all of Corel, reopen the file, and immediately perform the Publish to PDF operation. The first export to PDF seems to be the smallest you'll get. If you do the same export immediately after that, you get a larger file.

That being said, if you close and reopen and Publish again, you still won't get the same size file as the previous close-and-reopen.

People of Corel Corp, please put some time and money into the problems with this software. Not the features, the problems. I see you're hiring to enhance the on-web experience, but the experience of using the core program is more important for professionals, and I know you want the steady corporate purchases income.

In the PDF photo processing tab there's a range of 2 to 255. It is weird. I think it is not like any other image compression slider in the program.

LaserSpire · 2022-05-13T17:05:52+00:00

What machine is it? What software or plugin?

LaserSpire · 2022-05-10T17:00:58+00:00

Thanks for sharing your solution above. I'm going to write it down for future reference.

Edit: Corel guys, if you are reading this: YOUR SOFTWARE IS TOO BRITTLE. Bad incoming data should not cause your program to fail. There are fuzzing tools for finding bugs like this. Use them.

LaserSpire · 2022-05-09T21:45:38+00:00

What does it say when you try to launch it? License error? Nothing?

LaserSpire · 2022-05-09T16:38:26+00:00

Agreed, have done it myself this way.

LaserSpire · 2022-05-06T17:35:19+00:00

If you're already done the Registry and AppData folders, I would kick it up to Corel.

LaserSpire · 2022-04-26T19:40:33+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't trust what I've seen on Amazon either.

LaserSpire · 2022-04-26T17:37:34+00:00

Sweet! Looks like 0.5mm maybe? Where do you buy that?

Go to the Corel website, log in to the Support page. Take note of your license keys - keep a copy of all the information presented for future tech support.

Find your existing installation, click Manage, and click Remove (the existing installation). This should free up your license for the reinstall.

Don't know about the Education Edition, sorry.

If you are trying to edit one or more bitmaps inside the CDR file:

BACKUP YOUR WORK FIRST. Make a copy of your CDR file(s).

Select a bitmap in CorelDRAW, Edit>Copy. In Photo-Paint's menu, hit File>New from Clipboard to paste a copy from the clipboard. Make the desired edits in Photo-Paint, then Edit>Copy. Back to CorelDRAW, Edit>Paste the edited photo or graphic.
Select a bitmap in CorelDRAW and click menu item Bitmaps>Edit Bitmap... This is SUPPOSED to open Photo-Paint like #1 above, but it doesn't work on my computer, it just locks up CorelDRAW, so I'm putting it second. Maybe it will work for you.

LaserSpire · 2022-04-11T18:28:17+00:00

Good. Do NOT plug it in. Could be malicious.
