    I am building a lot of collages, lately. These are the type where all the pics fade into their neighbors. I am doing some full color collages and some duotone collages.

  • Re: Converting Lens effects and Symbols to flattened objects for pre-press production?

    Thanks for the info. A follow up question:

  • Re: Linking Dimension Lines to Object on Another Layer

    Hello Synauxcc, thank you for the reply.  I have uploaded an example of the problem.  Normally, we use dimensions on floor plans, but this simple filing cabinet drawer label example should suffice.  Notice the following observations:

    1. In the 'Object Manager…
  • Re: Layer Transparency

    Novel idea, Harry, thanks.  However, our testing seems to indicate that the transparency does not extend to the control object on the same layer.  When we do as you suggest, the page-size rectangle with the lens does reveal the underlying control object…

  • Re: Layer Transparency

    Thank you, Mek.  Some very good suggestions, I learned something new.  However, in this case we would like to display the entire object versus just the colored wire frames.  Changing the layer opacity would allow us to accomplish that while also displaying…

  • Exporting to Illustrator results in unwanted transparancies

    When I export a CorelDraw file to Illustrator, Corel has a habit of turning all objects into transparencies.  So I have to convert them back into opaque objects in Illustrator, which can take a long time since I'm doing illustrations that have on average…

  • Re: Layer Transparency

    Hello MT Studio,

    Thank you for the reply and a great idea.  This is now working and may provide a solution to our dilemma.  To our embarrassment, part of the problem was our transparency setting which we mis-interpreted as an opacity setting.  As such, a…

  • Re: Layer Transparency

    Hello Harry,

    Never had an issue with previous versions. Now, with the new dialog box, I'm not even sure if I'm doing it right. When I go to save an image as a GIF, I get the dialog box to alter properties. Color palette is set to Optimized, color depth is 256, Dithering…

    Hi, I am becoming frustrated.

    1. I can't change the color of any object.

    Hello,

    Based on a Photoshop user's tips, I try to enlight the medium-to-light part of an image.
