turning image into a negative

Being in the Heat Transfer business, there is a new paper out that rids the paper print called "Image Clip", it has a procedure that to make it work. Printing a mirrored image on transfer paper and printing another image with laser but a "NEGATIVE". I have suite X4, any quick ways to make the image using my Corel, their instructions is only in Photoshop, I prefer Corel? Thanks, I'll look for answers, this is my 1st post.

  • Sorry, I forgot to mention HOW TO MAKE THE NEGATIVE?

    • Hi,

      Yes you can do it in corel. However, you'll have to use Corel PHOTO-PAINT which came bundles with suite. 

      See attached... If this is what you are looking for, then open the image in PHOTO-PAINT, Go to Image - Transform - Invert.

      If you have the image already in DRAW, yu can always select it and goto Bitmap - Edit Bitmap. This will take you to PhotoPaint directly. Tranform as shown above and exit photopaint. 

      • In CORAL DRAW  select

        EFFECTS>TRANSFORM>INVERT

        TO MAKE "NEGATIVE" IMAGE

        • Charlie, I'm new to X6 but I've been using CorelDRAW a long time under various employers and have my original box and upgrades through... whatever was out about 4 years ago.. Now I'm writing this because I've stumbled on to something with "Print Preview" that has changed some setting so that *everything* I print comes out as a negative whether black/white (i.e. 16 bit grayscale) or paletted CMYK. So to get a proper print I have to go into Print preview and click the icon on the top hotbar that looks like a piece of "film" and then the print preview reverts back to normal and I have to use the print preview screen to print - or it reverts back to a "negative"... can you or anyone tell me what I've done? what switch I inadvertently clicked so I can make this issue go away?

          Thanks in advance.

          • I think you may have configured the invert as a default setting for the print driver (and are then having to invert again in CorelDraw to print normal).

            To check, go to windows control panel > devices and printers (this might be labelled differently if you're not using windows 7), right click on your printer and go to printing preferences.

            The screens you see from this point depend on your printer, so I can't guide you much after that, but you should look through all the preference screens and see if you can find a setting corresponding to invert, negative or similar.
