I found that site with the free logos...I downloaded the ones I needed, but....

When I go to open them in Corel it says they are an invalid format... (eps)
So I try to import it, it's only some strange code in russian..... [Dunno]

Now what?

Thanks,

A

Hey A,

Try using the "Interperated EPS" import filter instead of the .eps,.ai import filter.

All eps files are not created equal.

Have a great one!

A

when you import

don't use the filter that says...all formats

go down and toggle PS,EPS,PRN Postcrip Interpreted

that should do it

Damn, oh well, maybe the visual will be useful for somebody else. Glad that worked Adrienne.

To freeze a screenshot, hit the "Print Screen" button on the top row of your keyboard. That copies the screen to your clipboard. Then paste it into Corel or another graphics program and export in the format you wish to post.

It is a useful trick. It saved my bacon one day when a photo I was working on somehow got corrupted and could not be saved or exported. I captured the screen and opened it and saved it in another program.

As an additional side note to this post:

The tip of using the PS, PRN, EPS import filter was shared here a few months ago and has helped me greatly since then. I have saved lots of time and aggravation by knowing that little tidbit.

To me, that tip alone was worth the $50 residence fee.

Golly David, that's a neat trick with the print screen button. Duh, I could never find it 'cause I was looking the print flyout, not on the keyboard. That along with the eps thing sure helps me out. Definitely gettin my money's worth, Steve.................... [Smile]

Does this also work with Gerber G.A. as there are limitations on import functions. Does Corel 8 have the filter function? I can't bring it up, but I'll try.

Or alternatively try Alt/Print Scrn
That should give you a screen capture of the active window as oposed to the entire monitor contents.
