I'm taking an online course thru Lynda.com and the instructor is using Adobe Illustrator.
So far, I've been able to duplicate everything he is doing using my copy of Corel 17, until now. I want to know if anyone can figure this out:
He wanted to create a guitar string with the appearance of shading and highlight. He created a simple curved line using the Bezier curve pen tool. Then in the "Appearance" tab, he assigned a color and width. So far, so good.
THEN, with this line still selected, he assigned a second stroke with a lighter color and narrower width and a third stroke with an even lighter color and narrower stroke. He said in case he had to go back and edit it, this method was easier than duplicating the curve two more times, adjusting their attributes, and then grouping them.
I agree, but can CorelDRAW assign three different appearances in just one object, in this case a single line?
I've boasted for over 20 years that Corel can do anything Adobe can do. Please, help me prove it!
Thanx!

That's why I ask to see the desired effect. An example for me would be Photo-PAINT I do an edit of 30 Mb tif with 60 objects and the resulting PP image is about 35 Mb. The same task in Photoshop ends up with tons of layers and 800 Mb.
So I figured a real CorelDRAW user could duplicate the effect easily if they saw what they wanted
David, the only way you "end up with tons of layers" is if you make tons of layers yourself. It's a perfect example of operator error and for whatever reason, you're repeatedly trying to change the subject.
