I am with dog rescue and I just purchased some latte mugs to put designs on for Christmas. Because of the shape of the mugs a simple square design, which is what I'm working with, won't work. The design I have is a bitmap and I need to change the shape so it fits in the template of the latte mug. I can't seem to get the shape tool to help me with this. I need to get this figured out so we can sell these for Christmas and I'm running out of time. I have tried to figure it out myself but to no avail. (Corel can't help me due to the version I am using and I can't afford to upgrade but could download the trial version if that would help) I just don't know if I can reshape a jpeg or bmp in either version or how to make this work. Hellllppppp
Hi,
If it's a bitmap you'll need to do that in Photopaint (also included with CorelDraw Graphics Suite 11).
You may get some useful hints from this tutorial.
I found some CorelDRAW templates for latte mugs here which may help with the shape. It would definitely help if we knew what the mug looked like!

I was thinking that you would need to use Photo-Paint (Effects>Shear, perhaps?), but you don't want to distort the photo, you just need to get it to fit the template. What we need is an Envelope tool for bitmaps!
