HOW TO CREATE 3D EFFECTS USING COREL 10Written by Ruby Lorena
CorelDRAW’s tenth edition software, CorelDraw 10, is an upgraded combination of CorelDRAW and Corel Photo-Paint with new features and a unified interface. It has added features from Corel R.A.V.E., a vector based animation suite that introduced popular Micromedia Flash animations and movie format best suited for web content. It also offers more fonts, clip arts, option palettes, filters, toolbars, and a graphics powerhouse to help you create print and web graphics design. All tools used in this software are those tools you see in Photo-paint or R.A.V.E.CorelDRAW 10 allows user to import and export formats because it has a customizable interface. It offers controls for photo manipulation such as blemish removal, color corrections and red-eye reduction you can use in photo retouching. It provides additional controls even for complicated tasks such as mesh-based fills or extruding a three-dimensional object from a two-dimensional object. If you want to make 3D image follow these steps. First, draw image using basic shapes and elements. Turn off strokes. Select an object, a part or component of image, and fill it with color. Click copy and open a new page in Corel Photo-Paint. A window will open and will ask some parameters. The color mode is set for 24-Bit RGB, Background is enabled and page will be larger than object. Click paste, then press CTRL+A and select “Center of page” to bring object to center of page.
| | Great Printing ExpectationsWritten by Ariel Velasco
Ideally, we would want to have printed what we see on our computer monitors exactly as it looks. But such is not case in reality. It is a fact that there exist a certain degree of difference between what is perceived from computer screens against images that are printed by printing presses.Images generated by scanners and digital cameras are combinations of three colors namely Red, Green and Blue (called “RGB”). Computers make use of these colors as well in displaying images. A different set of colors are used by printing presses in printing colored pictures. The colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (“CMYK”) are used here and this difference will force us to make needed color adjustments. If we want to print an image with an RGB format, it is required that we convert this file to CMYK as this is format used by printing presses. Since printing presses use a standard-value conversion of RGB images into CMYK, output may not be enough for your taste. What must be done is for you to make conversion. Through this, you will have final say on appearance of image that you want to have printed. Worry not, there are software like PhotoShop and Corel PhotoPaint that you can use in conversion process. I highly recommend doing this because it certainly is worth effort to have great results being realized.
