I have been playing around but I haven't found a way to turn a color photo into a Black & White outline drawing in Corel PhotoPaint X5.
Can someone give me some advice how to do this?
Thanks,
Matt
Matt, this really isn't an answer to your question but I sometimes use Steve's Blackline macro to do what you're describing

Sounds interesting. I wonder if there is a way to still do that in Corel PhotoPaint.
Great solution, Stefan
but Matt you can do the same thing in Draw
why do you need to use PhotoPaint?

Why not using PhotoPaint? It depends on what the image is to be used for. In my work as illustrator and graphic designer its common to use use photos and make them an integrated part of an ilustration and design. That can be for so many different occasions. Be it a magazine illustration, Poster design, Book Cover, T-Shirt print and so forth. I could go on but you get the idea. :-D
Hmmm. I guess I hadn't figured out how to do it in CorelDraw.
I'll try your great ideas out guys. I just needed others to help me figure out what I couldn't on my own.
Thank you so very much for your help!

You are welcomed,
Some things are so easy to use PhotoPaint to do for you. You could easily have a photo placed in a CorelDRAW document, then select it and click "Convert to bitmap/Edit bitmap in the property bar, do my suggestion, and after OK, click SAVE in File>Save in Photo-Paint, and it should open fine in CorelDRAW.
Everythign doesnt have to be done in CorelDRAW. Use whatever works for you.
My tip for you took less than 5 minutes.
Hmmm. I'm testing out the functions and I can't seem to find a happy medium. The Blacks take over too much or too much of the Whites eat all of the detail that i'd like to see outlined in some way.
