The Prep & Stretch feature, directly used in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, is great when you need to print an image and have it stretched and prepped onto a stretched picture frame.
1. Go to the Window menu > Dockers > Prep and Stretch. 2. Click the Resize image proportionally button. 3. In the Resize proportionally area, type the value you want in the Width or Height boxes, and click Resize. The values in the other boxes are automatically adjusted, and the new dimensions appear in the Current image area. 4. Click the Trim image button and type the exact width and height value you want in the Width and Height boxes. A red overlay appears on the areas to be trimmed. If necessary, click the Adjust image button, and move the trimming rectangle to display the image elements you want to keep. 5. Click Trim. 6. Click the Stretch image button, and then in the Stretch area, click one of the following buttons: • Stretch image edge — to make the image edges appear stretched • Mirror image in all directions — to paste a reflection of the image edges around the image 7 . Type a value in the Depth box, and click Apply. Tip provided by Stefan Lindblad, CorelDRAW Master, Illustrator, Graphic Designer & Artist.
Hi Knitcity Graphics,
Yes, I believe that is the limit. But I will double check. I have pesonally never had to go down so small as 4 mm. That is very small, if to be stretched onto a frame.
Again, I will check back again, and let you know
Cheers

I need a stretch depth value is 4 mm but it doesnt work. Is minimum depth value 13 or can i change any other settings?
Hi,
It is not linked in the Czech version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7. Prep and Stretch feature is a Premium Member feature. So, you need to have Premium Membership to get it. But, maybe it will be included for all users in the next version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite!
I have a Czech version X7, but I cannot find Prep and Stretch. Why?
