Hello, has the bug in the vignette transparency function been fixed yet? If not, any idea when?
Thanks, blessings, Ellen
Hello Ellen; Do you mean like the screen shot?

Hi Ellen,
I totally lost the plot before - I have no idea what I was thinking LOL.
OK, here is how you can use the Vignette effect and achieve transparency:
That will do what you are looking for. I apologise for going off the beaten track earlier. If you have any issues with these directions let me know and I'll make a video to show you.
Best regards,Brian.
Hi George, I am talking about the vignette function on the bitmap toolbar, under creative effects. I need the edges of a box to be transparent, and the transparent function that was in past versions is missing. The only choices now are black, white, or other color.
Thanks.
Ellen,
I can confirm that both CDX4 and PPX4 respected transparency. However, it still does not work the same in X5 or X6. I don't know if this is a bug or they changed this intentionally. No one from Corel has confirmed this one way or the other.
So the quickest way to create the vignette in X6 is to work in PP. Open your image (or use Edit Bitmap in CD), change background to a layer, add a Clip Mask and then run the Creative>Vignette effect on the Clip Mask. Save and done.
Brian also had an excellent method.

Hi Patti,
we must have responded around the same time. I wrote some weird response earlier and correct it just before LOL. Here is the video I just made at 2.28am!
