I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to do this in Coreldraw X6?

I just really hate to purchase another software!

Hello Tracee; That looked A lot like how SignLab used to do tracing of a raster file back in the ver.6. I'm sure they are better now. I use CorelDRAW and click on Edit Raster and use Cut Out Lab, and then trace what I get back from PP. SignLab does have a Free 30 day trial, Just remember to export anything you make as a EPS at least in case you don't decide to buy it.

Flexi has it as one of the standard trace functions, too.
FWIW, the older CorelTRACE, last seen in Ver. 12 of the Graphics Suite, had this function. The current PowerTRACE, incorporated into DRAW, does not.....
So what we're after is something like a horizontal line halftone? I can get something like it by converting the image to Black & White Mode (in CorelDRAW), choosing Halftone, changing the angle to 0 degrees and lowering the number of lines, etc. The edges come out kind of rough, but it looks interesting anyway!

Learning something new, so bear with me. Here's a result from ZebraTRACE. I imported the .svg into CorelDRAW. Much better results than my first attempt with B/W halftone.

In case anyone was wondering about weeding, I ran into a conversation over on the T-Shirt forums.
"Check this picture of cut vinyl,, it weeds in about 3 seconds.. Its pretty amazing""...to weed just grab a corner of the vinyl and weed as one piece,,Royster you can throw it on a shirt.."
I'll have to get around to trying this. Might be a nice way to make something different on a t-shirt. I am thinking it might make a good corner graphics on a banner. Just not enough hours in a day it seems sometimes.
I also looked at the Gimp Engrave plug-in I mentioned earlier.. The results aren't bad you just have to trace it afterwards. What is somewhat impressive about that method is you can use a tiny image and still get something recognizable.
