Susan Ewart Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 If I buy the humble bundle would you be able to suggest tutorials for how to use corel draw, or at even just how to turn a raster into a vector? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Solaas Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I'm interested also. The only way so far that you showed us was in the vector workshop - how to draw around the raster object, highlight the nodes and make them symetrical to soften and make the curves as needed. Works, but Corel Draw has intrigued me for some time, but the cost was too high. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Ewart Posted October 30 Author Share Posted October 30 I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it, well, I hope I am. but I know I'll be staring blankly at the corel draw screen not knowing how to even start. I have wanted it too and had it once years ago but never used it. 😪 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Durrant Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Tutorials are available at the Corel Discovery Center. You can sign up for the Discovery Center newsletter that gives links to new tutorials for Corel products, regular free templates and links to other offers. I am also looking at the offer and the chance to also get Painter with all the add ins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking I would only use Corel Draw for making rasters into vectors and finally seeing what the EPS files are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Durrant Posted Sunday at 08:17 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:17 AM I have now downloaded and installed the bundle and it is LARGE. Took about 5 Hours to complete the whole process of registering, paying, downloading and installing. (My broadband connecting speed is about 30Mb/sec which give approximately 3.5Mb/sec of data received) . The biggest files are the Fx files , one of them is 9.5Gb . I am posting this as information to any member who is on a monthly limited connection or a connection slower than mine. Now starts the long process of learning how to use the programmes. I normally download the pdf help files onto a memory card and view them on my tablet ( I am 'old school' and like to have a book to follow) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Solaas Posted Sunday at 12:41 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:41 PM Thanks for the information @James Durrant. The only one I was really interested in getting was the Corel Draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Ewart Posted Monday at 05:16 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 05:16 AM Whew, that is a long install. I took Humble Bundle up on the offer and it went well.The only thing I dont see is the Vision Fx anywhere except when I look in the app and features section where you UNinstall apps and programs. Does anyone know what Vision Fx even is? All the rest that I ran the installers/.exe for showed up on my desk top and in the start menu. the only thing under V is Vector FX, I cant see VisionFX anywhere...hahaha, considering it's name that's kind of funny. Like Carole mentioned in the masterclass today, I did not download PSP2023 and I have yet to do the brushes as it's getting rather late. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, did Vision FX show up on your desktop like all the rest? Mine did not. Not even in my start menu, when I looked at the apps and features section where you Uninstall apps/programs and it was there. But I have no idea where it is to open it.

James Durrant Posted Monday at 10:21 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:21 AM (edited) The Vision FX is a plugin for 64 bit versions of PSP. You can find it in the Effects drop down menu under plugins.( If you do not have a picture open it will be grayed out). When it is requested a screen opens to recommend that up set it up with your GPU (if one is installed on the computer). The HDR FX also appears to be accessed from this section of the plugin menu. Going to search for the help files now. To use a GPU with Vision FX it needs to have more than 12Gb of VRAM (is that a top of the range GPU as mine only has 4Gb and will not work) Edited Monday at 10:50 AM by James Durrant More information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info about the GPU. I believe mine has only 12 GB, have to the ask the hubby when he gets home, he's the techy in the house.

I can show that, for sure. You can also put it in the Q&A for Sunday. Corel does have good tutorials for CorelDRAW (as much as they had for PSP). P.S. sorry, I had not seen this thread sooner!

Wenda Sturrock Posted yesterday at 12:45 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:45 PM Do you have to download the whole bundle or can you choose which items you want - like clicking separate links from the PSP purchase email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can download what you want and leave what you don't want. For example, although I grabbed the license key for PSP2023, I didn't download it, since I already have the Ultimate version. I will just use the key to gift the program to someone, at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wenda Sturrock Posted yesterday at 02:03 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:03 PM Thank you. I also have PSP2023 Ultimate. It's CorelDRAW that's the real lure here for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do a Search with the Windows search box on the taskbar? Press Win Key to access if it isn't there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
