    Help with file

    Hi All,
    I must admit I am terrible at Corel Draw. I promised to do a 10" x 10" sample of the attached logo for a customer but can't get it too look good worth a darn. I asked for an .eps file and got one but didn't realize it was not a vectorized eps. Now I'm playing with the bitmap converter over and over and not liking the results. What is the trick here that I'm missing?

    Select the bitmap. Go to bitmap menu, click quicktrace. Delete the original bitmap. Looks good to my eyes.

    Thanks for the link Martin. That seems to work very nice. I will have to add that vid to my favorites.

    Hi John, I tried that and it doesn't look good when you blow it up. Good tip when you have a clean image though.

    Thanks!!

    I'm not sure of what exactly you are trying to do but does this help?

    Daniel, this is quick trace from X5, I think it was improved from X4. Saved as X4. Tell me if it looks the same?

    Hi John,
    Looks a lot better with a X5 quicktrace than my X4. Dang, now I have to think about an upgrade
