I have CorelDraw 11. and need help understanding how something works with the File size of Corel Documents?
If I import a photo into CorelDraw and then I go to Bitmaps and then RES Tab. Then in here I make it 2 inch Heigh and 300 DPI and save this as a CorelDraw DOC. the files size is 752 kB.
Now if I re open this same CorelDraw Document and click on the photo and the drag the corner handel in to shrink the photo and save this CorelDraw Document again.
If I check the file size again of the Document it is still 752 kB why is it the same size?
I know it is the same photo in the Document but I did drag the handels and made it smaller so I thought CorelDraw would then make the Document smaller.
If
Not necessarily since the bitmap has not bee re-converted to a bitmap and given a new resolution after converting. You see, since you left the sample resolution alone it probably increased but the proportion was decreased keeping the balance the same hence the same file size. Try choosing 'Convert to Bitmap' setting and pick a resolution like 100dpi when the image is smaller then see a different document file size.
Thank you for getting back to me I know if I change the RES. or photo size properties the CorelDraw Document will be smaller.
But I just never understode why when you just Drag the corner handels in and make the photo smaller why this never makes the CorelDraw Document smaller?
I did hear that before that if an image is say 2 inch Heigh at 300 DPI and you drag the corner handel in the Physical size will get smaller. But the Res. will get Hiegher and I do not know why or understand it?
I know this is what is going on but how does this make the RES. go up?
Just to clarify my last response further...we are not really "spacing" pixels... but resizing pixels. There are no spaces between pixels in a bitmap.Therefore, to make an image larger and therefore have less pixels per inch... you are actually magnifying the pixels. This is why an image becomes pixellated and blocky looking if you enlarge it too much by resampling an image.
I apologise if I created confusion using the word "spacing" in my last post.
Best regards,Brian.
Thanks Brain for all you help you did make things a little clearer for me but I still am a little confused.
I would still like to go over some things with you but I do not want to make this Post go on and on and some Forums do not like when people do that.
Would it be ok for you to give me an e mail that I could reatch you at? And I always did want a
And I always did want a Pen Pal in Australia?

Maybe this diagram will explain things. The cyan square is 600px by 600px and measures 1" x 1". The yellow square the same square dragged on one corner to become 2" x 2", still maintaining its 600px x 600px.
Thanks again Brain for all the help I would like to ask what you use CorelDraw for? Is it for your Job what do you do?
Thank you for the help do you use CorelDraw for Work or how do you use it?
