I am working on a flyer in CorelDraw and I am stuck on something. I need to include a photo and I need the right side and bottom side of the photo to fade away. The edge where the photo begins to fade should not be straight nor should it be a smooth circle/ellipse. I tried doing this with the transparency tool in CorelDraw but I can't control it enough to end up with the effect that I need. I figure I probably need to select "edit bitmap" and pop into Photo-Paint but I am far less knowledgeable in Photo-Paint than I am in CorelDraw. Can someone give me some advice or point me to an online tutorial for this?
Thanks.
Eric
Edit the photo in PhotoPaint.
Open Object Docker
If you have a Background object, convert it to object/layer. There is a button to do this
Right click the eye icon and select create ClipMask to show all.
Now with the clipmask active, use the interactive fill tool and draw a gradient. You will see how the border turn to transparent.
Play with it.
