I have exporting problem on coreldraw please see below the image.
it's my exported image:
But this image have left and bottom side some gray line.
See below the image:
So how can i solve this problem Pls help me if u can.
CorelDRAW X4 SP1 was the first version in CorelDRAW history to export images without the outer AA artifacts. Not only for vector shapes, but bitmaps too!
SP2 was just released and includes SP1 inside it.
This being the case...
I'll share a tip from PowerTips 1 for all pre X4 SP1 versions of CorelDRAW: I've used this method for building web components since version 9.
Make the background color of your document the same hue as the color of the outer shapes you are exporting.
Why? Draw AA's the edges of exports relative to the document's background color. If the colors are the same, there's no transitional color created.
If you have many images exported already and just want to clean them up, this macro shown below has a function to do it, plus more things. I should have it uploaded in a day or so

Hi, sorry to say that the problem is not solved in the X4 version. I have the X4 version SP2 (French), but I still have this stupid problem.
I made a bunch of icons to be placed on several pages with different background colours. The icons have a "background" adapted to the destination coulour page. Exporting them in BMP or JPG (no change), the small 1 pixel hell (white) border is present.
I must use Corel Photo Paint to modify each icon individually. Just creay !!!!
I tried to adapt background of Corel Draw before to export. It works, but here again it is creay, because I have several backgrounds and my Icons are on the same sheet. So I have to change and adapt back ground before to export icons.
I don't understand Corel phylosophy . If you make an icon on Corel and export it, why should it be antialiased in the border ? No sens.
I searched the Web, but didn't find any other solutions.
Does someone can confirm the problem is solved with X4 in English ? I don't mind to ask Corel to provide me an English X4 version if the problem is really solved in this version. Because I become creasy with this problem.
Jeff, you made a solution for previous versions, does your solution works with X4 (FR) ?
Any suggestions ?
Kind regards.

This seems odd, i just made a very small filled square X4 SP2 , no outline. And exported as blue bitmap at 16x16 pixels. No fringes are on it, even though I had AA on during export. So, all is good. upload a small Draw file of yours with one icon i can test to see what it does here.

My solution not needed for X4. since Draw not export with problems for me. The tool I show before is a macro for PP X4. for fixing images that may have come from somewhere else and has the fringe. It does not crop images, since that changes the pixel dimensions of file. It fills in the fringe with color from nearby.
Hi Jeff, now I'm confused. I downloaded your test, exported the the violet square to BMP, without making any changes in my configuration and no border !!!!!!.
I don't know why. I must try further. May be you can tray with my uploaded files ?
THanks.

Oh, my!! with your file, Same problem here
I think It is dfferent problem from 'ExpandHalfPixelWhenAntiAliasing'
Exporting or converting to bitmap a object with Outline under 2px cause such a broblem, but no problem with no outline or thicker than 2px.
Export or convert to bitmap your object without outline to avoid such problems and here is another way, see the movie http://www.fleetingglimpse.com/tutorials/nowhitebox/nowhitebox.html
Thank you for the link. This is what I found previousely: changing the background of the Corel Draw file. But this is hard job if you have several icons with different background colours, I have or to put them in different files or to set the correct background before exporting.
But I don't understand one issue. Jeff Harrison posted a file with a sample that works in his and in my configuration (without ExpandHalfPixelWhenAntiAliasin set originally to 1). ????I'm still search some rules for that. At present only his CDR file can export OK.
Exporting or converting to bitmaps objects with Outline under 2px cause such broblems, but no problem with no outline or thicker than 2px.
Why don't you export or convert to bitmaps objects without Outline.
thanks
Oh great !!!!! Thank you. You are correct, exporting without outline works fine.
But now I have an other problem: how to make Corel Draw object to have the same outside dimensions without outline ? Because if I export the object just removing the outline, the exported result has an other pixels dimensions (smaller).
Of course I can manually write down the outside dimensions of each object before removing the outline and adapt the dimensions after removing the outline. But if you know a quicker way ........
Thank you for all. kind regards. Jean-Claude

I guess you have many objects to correct dimensions.
'Ctrl+R' would be an answer for that
just check if all object's Outlines were removed clicking right mouse button on the blank swatch in the palette with sellecting all objects at the same time.
sellect an object and enter the correct dimension value on the Property Bar then hit the Enter key, and then sellect the next object and press 'Ctrl+R', sellect another object, press 'Ctrl+R'.... one by one ...repeat.
'Ctrl+R' repeats the last action.
