A Suggestion for a "WOW" effect or a Macro for the New Corel Draw X7
I would like to suggest, a "Wow" effect/macro, that in my opinion, will make Corel Draw stands out and be the Most completed suite and the Most powerful Vector software of all !
It's a name that i gave and i called it
"Vector Gaussian Blur"!
As we can see, this effect tool exists already in illustrator, since a long time.
I just can't wait to see something similar in the new version of Corel Draw X7.
I don't like the method that some people usually use to achieve this effect, by converting a vector shape to Bitmap, they open Photopaint and then they apply the bitmap Gaussian blur filter on it.
That's why i would like to change this and create something that will be a vector base! That will only be inside Corel Draw.
In fact
there is a tool in Corel Draw, that can do almost the same job as the "Gaussian Blur" does, in a vector style.
It is the drop shadow effect !
But my suggestion is to create an effect tool solely for this effect only. Which of course will includes feather and transparency together with this effect.
- Actually the trick is when you apply a drop shadow to a vector object, inside Corel Draw and then "
Break the Drop Shadow Appart", you instantly have a "Vector Gaussian Blur" object!
Because it is vector, of course you can change its color and change its shape!
I am attaching a visual sample below, that i did, to show you what i mean.
