BRAND NEW to corel need help

Post by bigjondrags »

i just bought x6 and I'm completely lost. I have been using inkscape for the last year and need to completely relearn how I'm making my designs. can anyone point me in the right direction? I been watching youtube videos but is still not making alot of scenes. when i trace an image to turn it into a bitmap it doesnt have nodes to edit or maybe im doing it wrong? PLEASE HELP ME

thanks Jon

When you trace you start off with a bitmap and after the trace should be a vector.

As above...you import your BMP or JPG file into Corel Draw, then do your trace to convert it into a vector (.cdr) file.

Here is a tutorial I did for a simple black & white drawing.

Hope that helps.
