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

    I found the transparency facility in PP vignette had disappeared  in X5. I agree it's incredibly annoying as it was very useful function.

    I've been using a workaround for some time - it's more time consuming  and less controlled, but it works;

    Power clip the bitmap to oval, circle whatever / Convert to Bitmap / Edit Bitmap / 

    In PP; Select as Object / Feather from 'Objects' / Finish Editing and return to Draw where it retains transparency

    Hope that helps
