Coreldraw and Photoshop have long been the famous design software commonly used on PCs. They are the first choice for professional design users. Both of them have their own advantages in graphics and image processing. Coreldraw is the overlord of vector graphics processing, while Photoshop is the flat image design. The best choice, the comprehensive application of both can make full use of your imagination, draw beautiful and magical patterns.

This involves the question of how to correctly export graphics and images from Coreldraw to Photoshop, and which method is better.

Three ways to generate bitmaps with Coreldraw and Photoshop

(1) Select the corresponding object in Coreldraw, COPY, and then open a new file in Photoshop, paste it up, this is the easiest way (hereinafter referred to as "clipboard method");

This method is characterized by its simplicity and ease of use. It does not need to generate intermediate files. The disadvantage is that the image quality is poor. Because it is converted by the clipboard, the image is rough and there is no anti-aliasing (ANTI-ALIAS) effect. It is not recommended. method.

(2) Use Coreldraw's "Output" function (some versions are called "Export") in Coreldraw, and output Coreldraw's vector graphics as a bitmap (hereinafter referred to as "lattice method").

The image generated by this method has improved the quality of the clipboard method, so many users use this method, but there are still disadvantages compared to the "EPS" method.

(3) In fact, there is a better way to use the output command of Coreldraw to output the graphic to EPS format, and then use PLACE in Photoshop to achieve the vector-to-lattice conversion (hereinafter referred to as "EPS"). law).

The main advantage of this method is that after the output is an EPS file, the graphic is still a vector graphic. RASTERIZE is finally performed in Photoshop, so the output process is independent of the resolution of the final image. The quality of the final image depends on the quality of the final image. The resolution of the image file you placed in Photoshop. Once the "dot map method" is output, the resolution is determined. If the image needs to be enlarged, there will be obvious aliasing, and the "EPS method" will still be of the same quality regardless of the image size.

Below we specify the operation of the "EPS" method:

First, complete your drawing in Coreldraw and select the appropriate part to output.

Then select "Output", click the "Select only part" option, select "EPS" in the format, set the file name, and confirm.

Start Photoshop, open a new file of the appropriate size, select "PLACE" in the "FILE" menu, select the EPS graphic just output in Coreldraw, then the image frame will appear in the new image, you can pull the image frame to change Its size (hold SHIFT to constrain the aspect ratio), and finally double-click in the box, the graphic is placed into PHOTO SHOP.

There are several issues to be aware of when using this method:

1. The option "Anti-alias PostScript" in "PREFERENCE" in Photoshop should be selected;

2. The EPS format is a common format for the professional printing industry, so its internal color is in CMYK format. In the process of outputting to EPS, some colors beyond the CMYK color gamut will be converted;

3. Some graphics that are too complex (such as containing too many gradient fills) are prone to errors during the conversion process.

Summary: When the image requirements are not high, you can use the simple and convenient "clipboard method" or "dot map method"; in higher requirements (such as when making prints), you can use the "EPS method" to Achieve higher image quality.

Finally, you need to point out that Coreldraw has another format for exporting vector graphics to Photoshop, the AI format. The EPS format can save bitmap and vector objects in the pattern, and many softwares accept the EPS format; the AI format does not support much software. The method of exporting the AI format is basically the same as the EPS. Note that the version number of the AI should be correctly selected, otherwise it will not be imported correctly in Photoshop.
