The cloning tool for CorelDRAW X6 doesn't seem to work any more. I tried reloading the software because I wondered if I'd changed a setting without realising it, but it hasn't helped. Can anyone help me?
Are these 48 bit images ? Clone doesn't work for those. You will need to convert the image to RGB before you can use it.
Apart from that, I'm not aware of any problems with the clone tool.
To be hones, I don't know what sort of images they are. I've never converted the images to anything. The tool just stopped working yesterday, or the day before. Which sort of RGB should I try converting them to? The options I see are RGB 48 bit and PAL or NTSC. I loaded X4 up to see if the cloning tool works there, and it does.
macpics, ANYTHING can screw up a system, people blame Corel but it's not always Corel's fault. A lot of times it's something that Windows is doing that doesn't let Corel finish what it's trying to do that will hang the program up. I find it best if you are working on something important in Corel just don't have other programs running. The newer computers with multi core CPU's should be able to, but to be safe.

Well, I'll see how things go, but at least I know what to do another time. Thanks again.

Hello Macpics,
Regarding 48 bit or 24 bit RGB images, X4 and X6 works the same way. In regard to tools and features.
Here is a quick check tip
Hello.
Thanks for all that information, but another member told me to try pressing F8 while opening the programme, and that worked! I'm so pleased!

Great!
That means you have windows 7 installed and not Windows 8. Glad it worked out for you.
Ps. I mentioned F8 in point "5 and 6" ;-)For the future when you may possibly use Windows 8, then remember the workaround I wrote about on my blog, see the above link.
