is this effect possible using corel?

[David Rowland]

no, thats a ten minute photoshop bevel

[Hugh Potter]

can you not use macro plug-ins?

something I really must do and learn!

[NeilRoss]

Yes – try the contour effect. And then the drop shadow. Should do it all.

[Mike Grant]

Yes you can. Use the "plastic" filter in Photopaint. Copy lettering to clipboard, open in Photopaint and select Effects – Texture – Plastic, Simples!

Nice one Mike….I learned something new! 😀

[Gareth.Lewis]

Thanks to you all!

I’m off to play with corel draw tonight….

Biggest problem is when you want to contour cut it, preferable with some bleed. It can be done in Corel but Signlab does have a huge advantage on that score.

Good morning all!

Is it possible to achieve this effect in corel x4 or 12?

That’s a simple task in Photo-PAINT X4 or newer

You can creat the text and size it properly in CorelDRAW, place a rectangle with no outline around it slightly bigger and save the file, this removes any text clipping during rasterization. Open in Photo-PAINT rasterizing at the required resolution with a transparent background. Select the object create a mask and apply emboss or plastic. Does this make sense to you?
