Dropshadow has lines in on big images.

[KATD]

Hi

Just joined and this is one thing that has been a problem for me. On Banner artwork I like to do the artwork to size. On the 2m and up artwork my dropshadows have lines in, how do I get rid of them ?

Thanks

Can you upload an image of this?

SORRY, no, all the artwork that has done that I kept on moving around in the work space, there is normaly a spot where it goes away and then I just covert the dropshadow to bitmap. Would like to know how to prevent it to start of with, because this can take up the an hour of moving the dropshadow bit by bit around. You can only see the lines when you zoom in very closely. It is only noticeble when close to banner, but I don't like to deliver that kind of work.

If you won't attach a sample here for us to see, then we don't really know what you are seeing?
Anyway, rather than use the shadow tool you could create you own drop shadow via a feathered shape or for all vector, use the blend tool.

I have not used Corel in a long time so I'm afraid I can't offer much help.

I figured as much. Well, the two applications have a lot in common.
