Well, I have been having a nightmare of problem fixing a problem in Corel. When you export something as a JPEG, or a BMP or pretty much any raster image, you get a thin line around the bottom and left edge (in X3, older versions have all 4 edges). Which makes for a nightmare for using Corel to design webpages. Well, I have a simple fix that's not perfect, but helps.
Let's say you have a vector image you want to export for a web page. If you send as a jpeg with anti-aliasing marked, you get a 1pixel line around 2 of your edges. Pretty crummy looking. Now, if you leave anti-aliasing un-checked, what you get is a pretty cruddy looking image. NOW, if you export a bmp, you don't need anti-aliasing checked, it's already fine. So the solution is:
Export your vector creation as a jpeg (or whatever) and leave anti-aliasing marked. Then open a new page, bring in your jpeg and simply trim off those 2) 1 pixel lines. Then export as a jpeg again, this time with anti-aliasing un-checked, and replace it with your old jpeg file.
Voila, a raster image exported from Corel with no annoying lines. Just make sure to design with a little bleed so you can crop off those 1 pixel lines, but usually it's not an issue.
Hope that helps someone out there.
