I have an image inside PowerClip. Every time I move the image a bit and stop editing the contents I notice that the earlier PowerClip area has left marks in the image. Actually it has cut a 1 pix line permanently on it.
I'm not sure if this happens only when editing PowerClips originally made with X5-version.
A bit annoying problem anyway. It basically destroyed all the images I used in a project...

Ah, look carefully at the objects list in photopaint before you save the file back into CorelDraw.
If you have more than one object there when you save, you will be returning those objects separately. Moving one of them will not move the others. So if you have more than one object and no reason for keeping them separate, do object > combine > combine objects together before you save.
Also look to see if the object you are returning has a clipping path. I'm not sure, but maybe the clipping path is also being returned as a separate object.
thomasgee said:How do you share cdr-files here?
CDR and zip files should be accepted as long as they do not exceed 256Kb.
However, have a look at http://community.coreldraw.com/content/faq.aspx?siteurl=forums.post_Reply which mentions that the accepted file types are "dependent on the sub-folder you are in (.gms in the Macros folder, .cdr in the CorelDRAW file section". Perhaps Corel has not yet configured those extensions for X6.
thomasgee said:The photo gets damaged if I use "Convert to bitmap" for the image inside the powerclip. (I use it often to change the resolution).
Workaround is easy; Don't convert to bitmap while editing. :-)You can use Resample... from the Bitmap menu instead. Then it won't pickup the frame.
It's a big relief to find out what was causing this and how to avoid it... The PowerClip tool changed quite a bit for X6 so I'm not surprised if there was some bugs. Case closed - hope they'll fix this at some point!

Yep, at some point I think I should sit down and write a list of some annoying features - Some of 'em might even be bugs. After using Corel actively 12 hours a day for 12 years you notice some (little) issues there... There has been couple of problems with several tools during the years. Some of them a fixed, and some... I'm not sure yet.
Btw, reason why I don't use RESAMPLE to avoid this problem is that if I import a photo to Draw and maybe flip it and change sizes - and then deside to edit it in Paint: It seems to forget my flippings and sizes (at least at X5 or older). So "Convert to bitmap" always made sure that the picture measures stay the same even if u use edit with paint.
