In essence CorelDRAW and Adobe Photoshop are 2 entirely different programs - the former primarily does vector graphics and the latter is primarily raster (bitmap) oriented. I don't know why you would...

>> seemed lots of the functions are tucked away and harder to find than contemporary apps. They're there, alright, but you have to be very familiar with the layout and workflow to implement them. It...

2 tacksie: it was cdr11.

I was just trying to make a point that you could do it with blends. It wasn't exactly Grafixman post (nothing like that, indeed) that I had in mind... but you could really...

feathering like this?

Well, Sark,

I would not be so encourged. I guess if I were you and already had CDR11 I would stick with version 11 for right now, and get used to it in the meantime... especially since version 10,...

I personally vote Photo-Paint + Photoshop or Fireworks finish…
Depending on what you do, print or web. IMHO.

>> Adobe changed the PS filters in 6 and above....

Yes, that's why I keep old copies of PSP 5.5 plugins so I can use them with CPT, though I upgraded PSP itself long ago.

those from psp 5/5.5...

Most PSP plug-ins are not. If memory doesn't fail me, almost all PSP6, 7 and CS are not (if not all). PSP5.5 and 5 can be made to work in Photo-Paint just fine, almost all of them... All you've got...

I am kind of tired of getting frustrated with each new version of Corel Photo-Paint and DRAW.

For some reason, inexplicable to me, old shortcomings and obvious bugs tend to pass from one version...

PS: perhaps, I should have used "quite a few things" instead of "lots of things". Anyway...

Actually, I have already tried.

See "DTP", "prepress" if you're inclined to pursue this subject. I am quite certain that it can do just about anything to meet your particular needs but that...

2 Eagle Imagery:

I guess you were not really looking.
Photopaint is a geat tool as far as creativity is concerned, and ease of use. More humane, I guess. But when it comes to prepress and DTP....

Better yet, open Draw files in Photo-Paint, do whatever manipulations you need to do, correct colors, resample, anything, hten export to GIF or JPG

there is just more flexibility this way to what...

anyone seen the beta? what's inside the box? meaning the features? what's different? what's new?

Yes, it's me.

Happens in any program including CorelDRAW 9 and 11 (Freehand and Illustrator, too). I’d say it’s a normal behavior and the only difference is whether you can see that tiny cutout on screen or...

SoloMan, you ever visit www.graphics.ru? Know what I mean?

Yes, it's me.

There is really just one thing that they truly need to correct (redo completely from the ground up or whatever) something that only keeps DRAW in the enthusiastic circles: correct EPS export. That's...

it is highly advisable and really just common sense to separate drop shadows from their respective objects BEFORE sending your artwork for postscript print, much like quite a few other things that...

A few comments on CDR11 that'll probably echo some other posts here:

don't run CorelDRAW 11 suite on anything less than P4 or Athlon XP and at least 512 MB of RAM. Ammount of RAM is crucial. Avoid...

Yep, looks like the workspace is corrupt. do what Peter Clifton offered. the other part of the problem probably has nothing to do with the workspace. Depends on what WinOS you are using. Could be...

or you can have objects placed on different layers and then temporarily make some layers invisible so you can see the guidelines and just in case the workplace is cluttered, etc.

Yes, it's me.

That's right. You can't apply styles to Artistic media strokes... or you can but the result won't be what expect. That's because what artistic medica strokes are... either a bunch of vectors objects...

Something else. Are you getting those errors under Win9x or WinXP/2K?

There may be something else if you're using XP and NOT an administrator account. Your settings then should be transferred from...

Try creating a new workspace from whatever you get into after all the error messages on startup and use that as your default workspace. That helped me once.

Tools > Options > Workspace > New ......

Can anybody explain to me why Corel decided to change its perfectly configurable easy-to-use, professional-looking interface of version 8-9 to something that smells of amateur-level simple hog-wash...
