A Suggestion for a "WOW" effect for the New Corel Draw X7
I would like to suggest, a "Wow" effect, that in my opinion, will make Corel Draw stands out and be the Most completed suite and the Most powerful Vector software of all !
It's a name that i gave and i called it "Vector Gaussian Blur"!
As we can see, this effect tool exists already in illustrator, since a long time.
I just can't wait to see something similar in the new version of Corel Draw X7.
I don't like the method that some people usually use to achieve this effect, by converting a vector shape to Bitmap, they open the Photopaint and they apply the bitmap Gaussian blur filter on it.
That's why i would like to change this and create something that will be a vector base! That will only be inside Corel Draw.
In fact there is a tool in Corel Draw, that can do almost the same job as the "Gaussian Blur" does, in a vector style. It is the drop shadow effect ! But my suggestion is to create an effect tool solely for this effect only. Which of course will includes feather and transparency together with this effect.
Actually the trick is when you apply a drop shadow to a vector object, inside Corel Draw and then "Break the Drop Shadow Appart", you instantly have a "Vector Gaussian Blur" object!
Because it is vector, of course you can change its color and change its shape!
I am attaching a visual sample below, that i did, to show you what i mean.
Now, My question is:
- Where should i go to show/suggest this post, in order for the technicians, the people who works and design the New tools for each version of Corel, to include my suggested effect. for the Next Version?
- Can Corel users, make suggestions on New tools for the New versions of Corel? to whom shall i email?
Thank you.
Hi.
Nice idea.
Your message here it will be seen. The only problem is there are thousands of other requested features here too.
Other idea. Become a beta tester when it becomes available. But still there are literally thousands of feature requests to compete with.
My suggestion for past versions was to include a bunch of cool script/macros that would do effects like these and others. CorelDraw 9 and 8 had them and then they were gone. I put this suggestion every version so far but I guess it got buried in the pile too.
I hope yours makes it.

I suggested the same some years ago. Altough is not the most important thing for advanced users, is useful for apply an effect or several effects, and allows to save the result and apply to other jobs

Life has taught me two very important things:
1. Never reveal everything you know.
2.
Just kidding. It's mostly because I don't remember. Some of them may already have been added, others will never make it.Many of them are just minor tweaks in the UI, others may be new tools or added functionality to existing tools and functionsOr things "found" in other programs that are suggested to be transferred to Draw (like vector feathering which definitely is on my top ten list).Also, since I'm a sign maker, many ideas are sign specific, like weed borders and smart weed lines for example.

That's the funniest thing I've seen this year!

Yeah, I had a good laugh when I first saw it.Appears in variations.
