... continued from previous page Special Edition Using CorelDRAW 9 by Steve Bain WOW! This is pretty cool, I said there were a lot of tips, here I am at tip #224 and I'm not even finished yet. I didn't know that I could import multiple images at the same time, even if they are different formats, thanks Steve for that timesaving tip! (At right is a small logo I made with one of the included objects, the rope. . . . You will learn more than 75 bitmap effects, including new art strokes, creative, distortion and blur filters, new 3D drawing features to render text or graphic shapes in 3D and natural media tools. To top it all off there are 32 pages of full-color examples! One of the "fun" tools I like especially liked playing with is the Object Sprayer. Would you like to see a small example of what you can do with CorelDraw 9 and this Special Edition of Using CorelDraw 9? Well I figured you would, so here is a small sample of one of the lessons I did from the book. It deals with Bitmap transparency, contour effects and basic vector transparency. . . . Section 9 is; Beyond the Basics, which covers such topics as; printing, input and output filters, Draw 9 and the Web, customizing Draw 9 and exploring scripts and VBA. Printing being a pretty complex subject in itself is given extensive and thorough coverage. Setting print options, printing separations, frequency and angle, overprint options, prepress options, post script options and of course much more, but I don't want to rewrite the book here, so pick up this book and check it out for yourself! . . . The printing chapter has one of the biggest troubleshooting sections of the book. There is even a list included of URL's to find the most updated drivers for your printer. . . . Now, if this isn't enough for one book, then check out the included CD-ROM with a working trial of CorelDraw 9, 92 original book tutorials and 50 royalty-free, high-resolution, full-color, texture photographs. Purchase the book now, and you'll be supporting the Design Bookshelf! If you are looking for one book on CorelDRAW 9, you can't go wrong with this one, it is excellent!
