Good Morning. I am new to this site and to Corel. We are trying to create a color that is a scanned in fabric swatch from a plaid skirt. We want to create logos with the plaid as a color fill for our catholic school. How can i convert a scanned image into a importable color to add to the color palette??
Hi,I wrote about this in a way on my blog, which can be reached via this website as well. Here is the link to the blog. http:// stefanlindblad-english.blogspot.com/2008/12/corel-photo-paint-custom-made-colour.htmlRemember that the actual colour of the garment you scanned into your computer looks like one thing in real life and the light surrounding it. Like daylight or a yellow light bulb in your studio/office/home. And the colour will also react according to your scanner colour settings, and the computer screen and colour settings you choose, and so on. In my example on the blog I show how you can scann something, and then from within Corel Photo-Paint (or CorelDRAW edit bitmap), create a colour swatch, colour palette from it. Go via Window>Color Palette> Create Palette from visable.
Stefan,
thanks for the reply. i really appreciate it. i am under a killer deadline for a grand opening tomorrow and have to get this plaid pattern as a fill a decal we are creating.
i tried to do exactly what your blog said, but i did not get the plaid swatch as a color. I pulled in the swatch into paint, then told the program to create palette from visable. What was created was several different color blocks, but not the exact plaid. i suspect i am doing something wrong...i simply want to have a color block in my palette that is my plaid fabric swatch.
