BUG - Vignette Transparency no longer working in Draw X6 & PhotoPaint X6

I am running the 32 bit trial of X6 and the transparent vignette bitmap effect no longer works. I have converted the bitmap to CMYK transparent and back to not transparent several times in CorelDraw X6 and it still does not work. I have event tried making the bitmap an RGB transparent background and it still does not work.

Then when I click "Edit Bitmap..." it DOES open as a bitmap with a transparent background but the vignette function in Photo-Paint X6 does not work with the transparency either. It forces a background color. There is no longer an easy way to fade the edges of a photo.

Why do you always manage to break stuff that was working Corel? Why Corel, why?

  • Hi Cyber,

    maybe try this:

    1. open image in Photo-PAINT
    2. click the icon on the Background layer to convert it to an Object
    3. Draw an elliptical selection/mask with the Ellipse Mask Tool, slightly larger than the vignette you desire
    4. right-click on the object and choose Create Clip Mask >  from Mask
    5. Apply a Gaussian blur to the clip mask to taste

    Best regards,
    Brian.
