On 64-bit, I'm not going to even begin to care about that until all the mainstream applications from Adobe, Corel and others are compiled to take advantage of it. Currently WinXP Pro x64 Edition only gives graphics people a lot more trouble with all the applications and devices it breaks and...

It wouldn't be hard for them to accomplish. Then one has to examine popularity of dedicated 3rd party RIP applications like Onyx PosterShop Pro and vinyl cutting plug-ins like CoCut that graft into the mainstream drawing programs. I think Flexi and applications like it have their place in the...

Save as CMYK TIFF might be nice. But I can do that EASY in Photoshop. That exposes quite a problem. I think real pressure is building against companies like Scanvec/Amiable, Gerber and others who have traditionally made "CAS" type applications over the last 15-20 years. The pressure that is...

CorelDRAW has been able to export Adobe Illustrator and EPS files for as long as I can remember using the product (and that's been for over 15 years now). CorelDRAW X3 has some other useful features that do justify the upgrade, such as an improved publish to PDF filter equipped with password...

I said this in another post. The "best price" is to invest in the Adobe Creative Suite (Premium version if you can afford the initial outlay of $1200). IllustratorCS2 by itself costs $499. Photoshop is $600. InDesign is $650 or $700 by itself. It just seems better to only pay a couple hundred...

The font is Bembo Extra Bold.

Kilerb, (Provided you're still reading this thread) you should not quote the entire post of others. That really bloats a thread to an unreasonable degree. Next, others (myself included) have given you the answer regarding Photoshop and its NON-ABILITY to cut from a plotter. You lack a very...

Yes. In fact, the card and musical note symbols you're typing out as shape layers in Photoshop are likely symbol fonts. Any TTF, Type1 or OTF symbol font (as well as any glyph from any font) can be easily be typed in as a text item or dragged out onto the workspace as a symbol item in CorelDRAW...

Faded drop shadows? Such as the ones in Illustrator? Blah. I'll just use Photoshop for creating raster-based work. The creation of raster-based drop-shadows in vector drawing programs really bloats file sizes to a terrible degree.

Kilerb, I'm sure others may have already told you this, or at least wanted to do so. Basically it's like this. You're shooting yourself in the foot by not designing whatever graphics you can in vector form. It is counter-productive to make a logo in Photoshop or some other raster-based program...

$800 upgrade? For the features touted in that "Flexi 8" ad? I would consider enhancements to laser engraving and other features that directly improve vinyl cutting and parts routing to be worth while. However, features such as "on screen spell checking," "smooth preview" and "PDF publishing"...

What font format is that weight of Helvetica? True Type, Type 1, OpenType, etc.? Could it be encoded in a newer flavor of those formats with features your old machine does not support. For example, my ClearviewHwy fonts are OpenType, but feature True Type outlines and a .TTF suffix yet have a...

There isn't any italic OTF weights of Trajan Pro. Just upgright regular and bold versions. One difference it does have from the previous Trajan Type 1 version is its' being a true small capitals typeface. Trajan was all caps. BTW, Trajan Pro is bundled in with many new Adobe application...

Where do you disable the A.R.M. feature? At least, where do you disable it in CorelDRAW X3? I've already uninstalled version 12 off my computer.' I've already uncovered some bugs in CorelDRAW X3. I have had problems importing .CDT templates saved in earlier versions. The contour function isn't...

I've tried the memory issue thing. That isn't the deal. This A.R.M. nudge error junk happens on systems loaded with 1GB and 2GB of various types of memory (even high end Corsair memory on this new machine we have). The problem is junk code. I'm even more convinced of it now that CorelDRAW 13...

I just installed CorelDRAW X3 on my work machine (Dell Dimension 9100, Pentium D 840, 2GB RAM, GeForce 6800, WinXP Pro SP2). No problems thus far. Tried all the nudging I could to get it to repeat the constant irritation I found with CDR 12, but no crashes. So that's one good thing at the very...

I can nudge anything and make CorelDRAW 12 spit up that A.R.M. dialog box. It could be a simple rectangle, a type item or just about anything else. Anymore than a few nudges at once always brings up that error box no matter what machine on which I have it installed. I am using an upgrade...

I don't think fonts are the issue. The problem lies elsewhere (very likely in badly engineered code). I recently duplicated the same A.R.M. crash on a new custom built PC with a Pentium D 920 CPU, a clean installation of WindowsXP Professional SP2 and a minimal number of fonts. I have produced...

CorelDRAW 12 is a pig. I have seen and duplicated at will those irritating Corel A.R.M. issues on a variety of Windows 2000 and XP-based machines. Considering the number of machines I have tried, I really have to wonder about claims from others stating, "My Corel 12 installation is rock solid."...

Not only does Anheuser-Busch have their own in house advertising dept., many of their regional distribution centers have vinyl cutters and large format printers as well. Prices will start in the ballpark of several grand. A complex type makeover with lots of testing (such as results on ink...
