We have just purchased X6 and are having difficulty editing a bitmap. Its unable to be selected.
After reading your posts here we have tried the following which we find quite annoying for a new program.
Surely this is something simple we have missed. All we have done is installed the X6 and run the program , clicked on a bitmap and nothing ??? This has really left a bad experience especially when we just purchased this program and it cant even edit an image. The customer support was terrible , I had to ring back becasue the person couldnt hear me about 8 times. It was only a search on the web that led me here.
I dont think we will be recommending corel to anyone soon. Hopefully someone can help us.
When you say editing, what are you trying to do? Change colors, convert it into a vector artwork, delete sections, etc...?
It says in the manual, that if you want to edit a bitmap in corel, selct the bitmap then select the edit bitmap button , but the edit bitmap button is not selectable. It says by selecting this you cen edit in Photo Paint , easy but doesnt work.
By the way when you tick in Photopaint associations it will not stay ticked.
This was confirmed by Corell Customer support. If you select any other association it stays ticked ?
One other thing -- I believe CorelDraw only checks these associations when it starts, so if there was no CPT association in photopaint, you need to close CorelDraw and restart it before trying the edit again.
Hi Harry we have done this multiple times and it makes no difference. Even after a reboot and reinstall.
I am having the same problem, IN CorelDraw x6 Edit bitmap is greyed out. I kept Corelx4 and that is working fine. We Currently are ready to wipe Corel x6
OFF the computer. We can't scan/print/edit bitmaps/ or use our plotter. That leaves my business STOPPED with no way to output our art!.
Very unfortunate Since I was one of Corel's very first users Since 1989. Back in 1990 I was using Coreldraw and Pixar's "renderman" together
