Hi there

Could anyone help me. I am having trouble importing a template onto coreldraw

Is it possible to import the following
http://www.frames4photoshop.info/shop/f ... od_22.html

I have been told they can be used on coreldraw, but when I down load the free template, it doesnt open with coreldraw, and if i try to import it. I cant even find it.

Please could someone tell me how stupid I am and where I am going wrong lol

Can you buy a book on sublimation for dummies ( it would sell a lot of copies lol)

Hi there

Can you tell us what version of Coreldraw you are using and also what version of photoshop you have?

Reason I ask is because I use CS5 photoshop but only X3 Corel. This means that if I want to import a PSD or AI file I need to downsave the file to a version that works with X3.

If you can send a link to the free template I can try it here. Have tried to download it from frames4photshop but they require registration which I do not particularly want to do.

Hi Christine,

I just downloaded the free 5 pack to see what was happening. Once you have the package downloaded you'll get a zip file to open. Once this is done you should have a file on your desktop with the image in it....mine comes out with 5 PSD/PSE files. When you have these and Corel is open simply drag and drop it into a new Corel page and that's it.....job done.

Thankyou Roger for the help and advice, I have now managed to import the templates. I just need to learn how to change them and add pictures.
But I now feel like I have got somewhere

Thanks again
