Hello, I am looking for something like Cutting Edge Effects (CEFX) which I used to use to create some amazing fills for Corel graphics programs. It no longer works with the newer Corel programs but does any one who was familiar with it know of something that will?
some commercially-released macros:
ecut has some effects and also effects for cut
These are effects for vector shapes. Or are you looking for bitmap effects and fills?
Yes, it was for fills. They did a particularly realistic looking series of metallic fills that looked like mesh, gold plate and that kind of thing.
That's what I had done but clicking on it in the effects menu crashes PhotoPaint.
What version of photopaint are you using?
make sure you use the 32 or 64 bit version of the macro for 32 or 64 bit version of photopaint.
Drat! I omitted to give this information when you had asked for it. I am sorry. It is Version X8 and I have installed the 32-bit files as I have a 32-bit system.
Coreldraw 32 bit or 64 bit can be installed on a 64 bit system. Are you sure your OS is truly 32 bit?
In any case, try the other version of the plugin perhaps.
I have 64-bit X8, 64-bit plugin, 64-bit OS:
you might need to set path in the options - CTRL+J
Windows is 32-bit but not having much luck determining whether CD is 32 or 64. I have tried replacing the 32-bit SuperBlade with the 64 bit version but get the same result.

OK, it seems you'll have to check with product vendor for help. Or request a refund if you can't get it working on your specific system.
One idea - see if they will give you an older version that is more compatible with your system.
Hey, that's a good idea. I'll give it a go.
