I need to know what programs I need to convert files to be used in Corel Draw 10?

Question

I have cut and pasted several items and created a picture. I want to put this picture in a format that I can use with Corel Draw 10. Every time I try to do this, the image comes out fuzzy. I need to know if there are any programs I can purchase that will help me clean up the image and be able to use it with my Corel Draw 10 program.

Thank you.

In short, the quality depend on the source image too. So, there is a limitation to vector based or pixel based programs to do the correction job.

I recommend use Gimp (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html) for professional quality imgae editing.
Another choice is photofiltre(www.photofiltre.com).

thanks.

Answer 2

Sounds like you are dealing with Pictures - Raster Art and trying to use this art in a Vector art program. There is not much that can be done to bring this art into CorelDraw the way you are wanting. I would suggest using PhotoShop or Corel PhotoPaint as these programs are made to be used with Raster Art.

Raster Art: A type of graphics file that stores the images as a collection of pixels. Also called bitmapped images.

Vector Art: Generation of images from mathematical descriptions that determine the position, length, and direction in which lines are drawn.
