Create a specific project, you want to save it, by habit you press the "File" menu, but the "Save" buttons, "save both", "export", "send", "Print" are highlighted in gray and are inactive. Any attempts to take advantage of these functions are not crowned with success. Familiar picture? Surely almost everyone who uses the pirated version of the program, sooner or later it may encounter the situation described above. What to do? What is it all happening? Why does CorelDRAW program prevent work projects? Let's find out what to do if CorelDRAW does not save files.

If you answer in two words, then due to poor-quality hacking when using the pirate version. How does CorelDRAW authentication work? You install the program, enter the license key, the program via the Internet is connected to remote servers The developer and, if everything is in order, no problems arise. At the first installation, there are 30 days of the trial period, during which you can check whether the program satisfies your needs. If you, without purchasing a program, you will continue to use it after the end of the trial period, the functionality will be limited, including you cannot save, export and print the created projects.

If you use a pirate version, then if you use a high-quality repack and accurate following instructions for activating such problems, you should not arise. However, if the activator is poor or you missed some kind of activation step, the program continues to access CorelDRAW servers. Naturally, authentication is unsuccessful due to which some functions are lost. To do this, you need to use high-quality repars and be sure to block access to the Internet access so that it cannot connect to the license verification server.

How to return the file saving function

Using the licensed version of the program

The most correct and legitimate method is to buy a product. By this you will not violate the legislation and stimulate the developer to produce new updates and constantly improve the product. The cost of the license is without limitation by the period of action - about 30000 p. Perhaps this price will score someone, but if you earn on graphic design, they will pay off very quickly. If you still prefer to use a hacked version, check out the material in the next paragraph.

How to get around the license check in a hacked version

So, you realized that the whole problem is due to the non-exposure of the license authentication program. What do you need to do after that?

1. Edit hosts file.. This file is responsible for the work of the Internet on your computer. Edited it, you can block access to certain resources. How to do it?

127.0.0.1 MC.COREL.com.

127.0.0.1 apps.corel.com

127.0.0.1 Ipm.Corel.com.

127.0.0.1 Dam.Corel.com.

127.0.0.1 iws.corel.com.

1. Remove set by B. this moment Version of the program. This is necessary in order not to conflict between new installation and the remnants of the current moment. It is best for this special software for the removal of software, since it has the ability to clean all the remaining tails in file System and Windows registry. Among such applications are the most famous Revo Uninstaller, Iobit UninstallerUninstall Tool.

   

   Revo Uninstaller is an excellent free definulator for programs.

2. Download high-quality assembly. To do this, we advise you to use proven resources, such as NNM-Club or Rutracker. There you can read the comments that have already downloaded this assembly of users. In addition, these resources have a guarantee that, together with useful files, you do not pick up any virus.
3. To accurately follow the installation and activation instructions. Usually complete with the program files goes detailed instructions. Often among mandatory conditions is shutdown during the installation of antivirus and the Internet. Consider each trifle specified by the assembly author.
4. Put the folder S. installed program In the exclusion of antivirus. After the installation is completed, in the anti-virus settings, not including it, add the folder to exception to the CorelDRAW. For what? The fact is that almost all antiviruses perceive generators licensed keys and other hacking utilities as malicious software And they can block their work. As a result, you will have different problems.
5. Block the program access to the Internet in the fayer settings. It is also a mandatory action, since in this case the program simply will not access the company servers to verify the license. If you are using Windows Firewall, click Start - Control Panel - Windows Firewall - Extra options - Rules for incoming connections - Create Rule - For Program - Program Path - Select the CorelDRAW executable file - Block the connection - Tick all types of connections - ready. Repeat the procedure in the "Rules for Outboard Connection" section.

   

6. Running the program, you will see that all menu items are active, and saving files works, as before.

Conclusion

As you can see, solving the CorelDRAW problem, when files are not saved, it is rather simple. In the comments, we ask you to write whether you managed to correct the problem, following our recommendations.

And Corel photo-paint. It serves to optimize images for publishing on the Internet. This tool gives several advantages compared to the usual preservation of the picture. And it is especially in demand for web images, where small file sizes are important while maintaining the quality of the picture.

Why do you need optimization of pictures?
Optimization is a decrease in the size of the image file with minimal quality loss. Reduce the size of the file can be reduced size, detailing the picture, simplifying elements or a decrease in the number of colors. Saving a picture, you can select the format or mode at which the file compression will occur.

Benefits Optimization tool compared to normal preservation or export:
1. Despite the fact that keeping the picture you can choose its compression and thereby optimize it, the optimization tool makes compression much better. Perhaps this is due to other algorithms than while maintaining.
2. In the optimization tool (optimizer) there additional functions, for example, viewing, calculating the time of loading the picture by different modem, and the ability to select several times best option compression before saving.
3. You can save presets of picture quality for subsequent quick use.

The optimizer can be found in the "File" menu here:

(In Corel photo-paint :)

(In CorelDRAW :)

The optimizer looks like:

He has two windows in which you can view the image and experiment, but only the left can be used. At the bottom there are two identical panels with buttons:

The unit marked the selection of picture format for web - for example PNG or JPG. Two marked an additional image compression configuration dialog, as when saving or exporting.

A feature of the optimizer's work in CorelDRAW is that it takes not the original image, but selected objects. Moreover, the scale (approximation) of the picture is of great importance, i.e. The size of the stored picture corresponds to its size on the screen. This is in some way too plus, because You can quickly choose the size.

Tip: To optimizer save objects with some clean or color field around, create a square with an invisible stroke around objects - this is the boundaries of the picture. And when opening the optimizer, select the object with this square.

At first it may seem that there is little use from the optimizer. But if you often work with the publishing of images for the web, then most likely appreciate its benefit.

In "CorelDRAW" there are two ways to save: by file replacement or by way create a new file.

After you have completed the work on the image, select in the drop-down menu "File" Team "Save". You can also use the keyboard key on the keyboard "Ctrl + S" or the corresponding command on the taskbar.

If the file has already been saved on the hard disk of your computer, it will be replaced with a new one.

When you first save the file, a dialog box appears in which you will be preserved. Here you can choose to save the file to the copy, or save with the replacement of the original. Select the option you need.

In the File Type field, you must select one of the proposed formats. If in the future you want to continue adjusting the image in "CorelDRAW", then choose cDR format. In this case, you will be easier for you to continue working on the document, since all settings and actions will be saved.

It is worth noting that if you wish to work with this document and with CorelDRAW editors more early versions, In the "Version" list, you must select the desired version of the editor. In this case, the saved document can be edited by the application of this version.

Additional settings can be selected by opening the "Parameters" window. To do this, click the "Advanced" button.

Check box "Save Presentation Exchange (CMX)" allows you to save the Presentation Exchange Figure (CMX) format, which makes it possible to read this file in all applications that support this format. The file size can increase compared to CDR format.

Section "File Optimization" Designed to enable or disconnect the compression mode of raster objects. Two commands are provided here: "Use compression of raster images" and "Use compression graphic objects" The inclusion of these parameters allows you to reduce the size of the stored file by compressing the objects of the specified type.

The next partition is designed for texture settings. Parameter "Save textures with the file" Allows you to save textures in the file. It should be noted that the file size will in this case will increase.

The "Restore Textures When Open File Open", eliminate the saving texture parameters in the file, thereby reducing its size, but increasing the opening time of the file containing complex objects.

The next section sets the flow and extrusion parameters. The "Save flow and squeezing" option allows you to save the "flow" and "extrusion" effects of objects in the file.

And the "restore flow when opening a file", on the contrary, eliminate the saving parameters of the effects of transitions and extrusion in the file, thereby reducing its size, but increasing the opening time of the file.

After installing all the necessary parameters, click the "OK" button to close the "Parameters" window.

To save the file, click "Save".

Thus, when saving a file, you can specify all the necessary parameters, as well as select the format of the stored file and the version of the CorelDRAW application.

1. If you make layouts for widescreen printing, then work only in color cMYK system, no RGB and especially CMY and other exotic. All images imported in CorelDRAW should also be in the CMYK system.

2. Even specially calibrated monitors do not give a complete view of what color will turn out when printing. In the CorelDraw program, the problem is exacerbated by the fact that all images look brighter than they really are.

To somehow compensate for this drawback, do the following:

• For CorelDraw old versions: go to the item Tool Main menu, open the dialog box Color management and in the drop-down list Style or parameters Select a typical option Optimized for Professional Output - Optimized for professional printing .
• For CorelDRAW new versions: go to the point Tool Main menu, then in paragraph Color management Open the dialog box Default Parameters . In the upper left corner in the list Billets Choose Prepress preparation in North America .

3. Use only the CMYK color palette, forget about Pantone, Toyo and other libraries. First, widescreen printers, unlike offset machines, are not printed in advance mixed paints, and secondly (most importantly!) The color of the Pantone dice color when exporting from CorelDRAW may change the most unexpected way. Given that Pantone colors are usually branded, troubles are guaranteed.

• For the room in the layout of the required color by Pantone, make the following: Select the desired Pantone number, move it to CMYK and only then use in the layout. Playing Pantone colors widescreen printing is a separate topic and goes beyond the scope of this article.

4. After completing the creation of a layout, be sure to export the image into the raster file and view it in pHOTOSHOP program.

1. A common problem - a black shadow created by the Interactive Drop Shadow (interactive shadow) tool, especially the edges, when printing, it turns out a lighter background to which falls. The problem is solved very simply - choose the mixed black as a color of the shade (the last color in the drop-down palette Drop Shadow Color is "color shadow"). By the way, this case shows the color representation imperfection in the CorelDRAW program even on a calibrated monitor - in Photoshop program, the problem is visible immediately.

2. Another problem is a little predictable result of the use of lenses, effects of lighting, transparency modes, etc. If possible, we advise after applying the effect, convert a vector object in raster directly to CorelDRAW. In any case, after exporting the file, carefully check the result in Photoshop.

1. Main Tip: Work on a scale of 1: 1, if you need to increase (decrease) someone else's layout made in CorelDRAW, never do it directly in the program! For example: you need to get a 3x6 meter size file with a 40DPI resolution from a mockup 30x60 cm. Required actions - export a file from CorelDRAW on 1: 1 with a resolution of 400DPI and in the Photoshop program to enlarge the image to the desired size.

Why such a technology is optimal, you will understand this section to the end.

2. A serious problem is the quality of raster images imported into layouts. The picture that is decently looking at A4 format with an increase in it on a 3x6 meter shield turns into a muddy, poorly distinguished image. Unfortunately, managers receiving customer files often forget about this elementary fact, and designers who are loving to speed up the process to work in CorelDRAW on the scale.

• Tip: If the raster picture, which must certainly be placed in the layout very small, then increase its size to the required better in the Photoshop program. (How to do this in an optimal way is a separate topic). Mechanically stretch the picture in the CorelDRAW itself means aggravate and without the difficult situation.

3. The frequent source of problems are vector lines, or rather their incorrect use.

• The most common mistake is the use of the "hair" line (ultra-thin abis). Remember, this type of line is clearly visible only in the CorelDRAW program. When exporting files to raster formats from this line remains an intermittent gray strip thick in one pixel.
• Next error - Working with lines without switching on the proportional scaling function. As a result, when changing the size of the object, the line remains the same thickness and can either close the object or become disproportionately thin.
• Another error is to use the thick line of the framing edge of the file, without taking into account its thickness in the linear size of the file. The CorelDRAW program considers the dimensions of the figures by nodal points located in the center of the stroke line. Therefore, when exporting a rectangle with a stroke with a thickness of 5 cm into a raster image, you will receive a 5 cm file wider and 5 cm longer. It is clear that the image, for example - 3x6 meters, can be "clad" and it will not be noticeable. However, a small file will have to reversal, since disproportionous distortions will be very visible.

Fonts and texts.

1. Immediately create a sheet of the desired size, circle it (double click left-click on the "Rectangle" icon), paint the resulting rectangle in the background color. Remember: With certain settings, the sheet color is not exported, the leaf itself is also not an object and if it is not encountered, the objects inside the sheet will be the boundaries of the image during export.

2. Do not forget to unlock objects before exporting.

3. All invisible elements must be within the boundaries of the image. You can check this command by clicking Frame or Simplified carcass in point VIEW (view) Main menu - All objects will be displayed on the screen in the "wire" form.

4. Select all objects before exporting and grouped them. This operation systematizes objects and layers. Be careful if something disappeared when grouping, then this element will disappear when exporting.

5. Check the dimensions of the selected grouped image.

6. Cuting when exporting an image using containers Be careful placed in them color stretching, textures sometimes behave unexpectedly.

1. Highlight the objects that need to be converted. This first will allow you to apply the "group" command, and secondly cutches with all sorts of "garbage" accumulating on the fields in the image development process.

2. Click the "Grump" command. This operation systematizes objects and layers. Be careful if something disappeared when grouping, then this element will disappear when exporting.

3. Click the command Export in point File Main menu. In the dialog box that appears dialog Export

• in the drop-down list Files of Type Select TIFF format* ;
• turn on the checkbox sELECTED ONLY (only selected) .

4. Click command Export . In the dialog box that appears dialog Convert to Bitmap (convert to pixel image) Do the following operations:

• in the meter Resolution Set the required permission. Exposing permission closely follow the meters and width counters, they should show true, 100% image size** ;
• in the drop-down list Color Mode (Color Model) Choose CMYK Color (32-bit) ;
• turn on the checkbox Anti-Aliasing (Smoothing) – this feature He smoothes the edges of the fonts, vector lines, eliminates the effect of "gear";
• turn on the checkbox Apply ICC Profile (Color Profile) - This function will integrate a special color profile. Increasing the accuracy of color reproduction when exporting, this is especially important if objects with the RGB color model are present in the file;
• the remaining flags must be disabled.

5. Click OK.After conversion, be sure to open the file in Photoshop and check it linear dimensions, permission to DPI, the presence of all elements of the image, color, no artifacts in the image of strips, departures of nodal points on fonts, vector figures.

• TIFF format is most versatile, and the main thing is made by all RIP programs used in widescreen production.
• The fusion file in TIFF format is "stable" to non-professional actions, i.e. It cannot be easily changed when opening, such as EPS, PDF format files, or worsen the quality when healing as files jPEG format. The smaller the capabilities of the intervention in the file, the less errors.
• Thread, round-the-clock production places strict requirements for the unification of incoming information. Most of the images are preparing: cutting on parts, applying technological labels, etc. Often images obtained from different sources are composed for printing on a single sheet. Therefore, all incoming files we translate into a single format. Save your and our time.

** Need to know the following things:

• from the CorelDRAW program of early versions, it is impossible to export an image with a length of more than 10,000 pixels. By the way, it is this feature of early versions of CorelDraw led to the appearance of almost the All-Russian standard for resolving images of 3x6 meters size - 40 DPI (6 meters - approximately 9450 pixels).
• latest versions CorelDRAW programs allow you to export long images with very good resolutionHowever, it should be remembered that Photoshop version 7.0 And below does not open files longer than 30000 pixels.

That concepts as "vector" and "raster" graphics, you are definitely familiar. The other thing is when the newcomer gets the task to process the graphic object, but at the same time it does not understand how to initially save the image in the Koreler in the JPG format than the vector format differs from the raster.

How to save the image in JPG format or JPEG.

We will help to understand the distinctive features of these two types of graphics, as well as explain how to save any vector drawing in JPEG in Korele.

Work with graphic formats

If a task is set to reformat from one graphical format to another, it is useful to understand not only how to practically implement it, but for which all these manipulations must be carried out.

Distinctive features of graphic formats

If it became necessary to learn how from CorelDRAW Save in JPG, it means you need a vector format to make raster.

Raster graphics are accompanied by several fairly popular formats:

• JPEG;

Raster drawings are accompanied by a certain resolution, corresponding to a number of pixels on a specific unit length. The higher the resolution of the raster pattern, the probability of increasing it without loss of quality is large.

If you try to increase the raster pattern with a small resolution, you will be disappointed with the result. Indeed, the drawing will be increased, but it will be blurred, flaring with a noticeable loss of sharpness.

Vector drawings, on the contrary, can be increased to any sizes. It does not observe the loss of sharpness, image quality.

However, the vector drawings have some drawbacks, so they cannot take the leading position everywhere. Vector graphic is seriously inferior by the presence of tones and halftone raster graphics. Working with photos in the vector format is also not quite convenient, because the photo will be more reminding the picture of the artist, but not a photo.

For this reason, sometimes there is a need to stop your choice on raster formats. However, if the image was created earlier in the CorelDRAW program, you have to search for ways as in CorelDRAW Save the image you need in JPEG.

Algorithm reformatting

So, trying to figure out how to save the image from the Korela in jPG formatOriginally launch the CorelDRAW program itself. Go to the horizontal top panel The "File" parameter menu, there you will find the "Open" string, click on it and specify the path to the image that you are important to reformat in the raster format.

Now the desired drawing will open in the main window. If you wish, you can make some actions with it. For example, slightly increase or decrease it. After you are satisfied with the result of your correctional work, you can save the resulting drawing in a raster format.

There are no difficulties in this. It is enough to click on the file "file" menu again and select the "Export" string. After such your actions, the preservation window is familiar to you. In it, specify which folder you wish to save the image. In the line below the "File Type", select the parameter you need, in particular, JPEG.

Do not rush to press the Export button. Just below, you will see another useful "Parameters" button. If you click on it, you will have the opportunity to make some important changes for you. Experienced users Recommend to install a checkbox in the checkbox "Save the proportions". You can set certain values \u200b\u200bof the width and height of the image, its permissions.

Council. In the next window, appearing after clicking the Export button, you can again show your creative start, making changes to some parameters.

This change is easy, since it is enough to move the slider to the left or right. It is good that you will instantly see the result, it is possible to match the new image with the initial one. If you all satisfy you all your settings, click OK, the program independently reformat your drawing.

So, having drawn information, how from the Korela to save any drawing to JPEG, you were able to make sure that no complex manipulations would definitely have to do. All actions are simple and for execution, and for understanding.
