Humble Bundle and a tutorial maybe?

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.

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.  😪

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.

 

yes, of course.  I should have remembered that.  I do get the emails.  I'm thinking I would only use Corel Draw for making rasters into vectors and finally seeing what the EPS files are.

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)

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.

I'm old school too and downloaded PDf for one of them, I'll be looking for the other one too.  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.

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)

I found them thanks to your directions.  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.

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? 

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!

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? 

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.

Did you do a Search with the Windows search box on the taskbar? Press Win Key to access if it isn't there now.
