Anyone use CorelDraw?

I'm trying to help a customer with a template & am having no luck with google searching for tutorials so far. I need to tell her how to clip a photo to each layer on the template & resize the photo to fit in the block...anyone know how to do that? :)

Would this tutorial possibly help Erica? http://www.scrapbook-bytes.com/a-tuts/publish/article_61.shtml

It gives the following info for Cropping/Clipping your photo --

Cropping your photo:
If you need to crop your photo, the quickest and easiest way is to create a powerclip.

Create a shape to crop your photo to…ie., rectangle, square, oval, circle, heart, etc… > Select the photo to be cropped > Effects > Powerclip > Place inside of container.

Note: The default option for power clips is to center your photo in the shape. I have turned this off to give me flexibility to make a power clip anywhere in the photo and not have it shift on me. Go to Tools > Options > Workspace > Edit > clear the box for auto-center new power clip contents.

This isn't a true crop. The information for the whole photo is still there (inside the container) which you can take out of the container at any time.

You can remove the outline by right clicking the X in the color palette.

That's all I found but she already knew how to do that. I guess the templates are opening up flattened (even the png files) so she is having to draw boxes on top my my blocks...I figured there had to be something we were missing because I know you can have layers from other tutorials I saw. Thanks though!! :wub:
