* Coreldraw 11 tidak dapat mengeksport file TIF, TGA dengan alpha channel. ini merupakan kesalahan prinsipal sehingga memerlukan pekerjaan tambahan untuk membuat seleksi objek di photoshop. Untuk mengexport menjadi file bitmap dengan alpha channel gunakan format PSD

* Bug Coreldraw 12 : Jika anda sering menzoom gambar (F2, F3 atau F4) kadang objek gambar akan berubah posisinya sehingga anda harus melayout ulang!.

* Bug Coreldraw 12: Setelah print gambar, kadang color pallete menjadi warna web pallete yang tidak cocok dengan warna cetak sehingga merepotkan jika harus merubah kembali ke warna normal / kalibrasi sesuai cetak. Solusinya: anda harus membackup dahulu file di folder C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Corel\Graphics12, jika terjadi masalah tsb timpa dengan back up anda tadi.

* Objek yang diberi efek Lens sering bermasalah / jadi tampak kotak di sekelilingnya. Untuk menghindarinya jangan menggunakan background gradasi atau bitmap jika ada objek lens. Untuk amannya bidang kerja di export ke bitmap JPG resolusi 300 DPI untuk diolah di photoshop, lalu di import di Coreldraw./li>

* Warna hitam di Coreldraw (versi berapa saja) tidak benar benar hitam jika dicetak separasi karena CMYK di Coreldraw adalah (0,0,0,100) . Agar tampil benar-benar hitam buat warna hitam baru dengan nilai CMYK (100,100,100,100). Namun resikonya teks kecil (5 point atau kurang) akan terlihat 'kabur' atau 'lari'.

* Jika anda export warna hitam di Coreldraw ke Photoshop, maka nilai warnanya berbeda 5-10%. Untuk mengaturnya gunakan levels dengan format CMYK. Lalu atur level black agar menyentuh puncak grafik.

* Snap to Grid dan Guideline di CorelDraw 12 sering tidak bisa aktif meski sudah diceklis aktif, untuk mengaktifkan kedua snap tsb, matikan Snap to Object

* Penulis telah menggunakan Coreldraw sejak versi 1. Tidak ada versi yang sempurna. tapi menurut pengamatan dan pengalaman, versi yang baik dan kurang bermasalah adalah versi ganjil (9,11,X3 dll) Betul tidak?

Step 01:

Lets create a document of any size we need. The background will be very important because it enhances the look in our texture and I am going to use the color 004eff for mine. I have tested this tutorial it it actually worked great with every color I tried but I think I like this color best.

Step 02:

For this step, I suggest you choose a big or fat text because this texture works better in a big wide text. I am using a text called Futura XBlk BT that you can find anywhere on the internet in case you want to use.

Step 03:

We are going to go to Layer-Layer Styles-Blending Options and we are going to start selecting the option Blending Options Custom. In this area, we are going to remove the color of the text so that we can start our ice creation on a blank area. Set the Fill Opacity to Zero before moving on to the next step. Do not click OK until instructured. We are going to do several things before we press OK.

Step 04:

We are going to select the Bevel And Emboss and make sure you change all the options carefully. I suggest you start with the options you see on the pictures and then change them according to what you need. If you are using a different text of document size, you may have to make adjustments to get the right texture.

Step 05:

We now move on to Contour. Here, we are going to reduce the range to 50. Like I said earlier, make changes as needed.

Step 06:

Now we move on to Texture. I have chosen a Rocky Texture and I found one that works well. I am using a texture called Black Marble and it comes in the textures that come with Photoshop so you have it. If you dont see it there, you may have to load it. If you don’t want to bother looking for it, just try one of the textures you have available. Turns out that this will work with just about anything I’ve tried.

Step 07:

We move on to Satin Now. Use the color black 000000 and then choose an appropriate contour for your text. Once you have the texture you want, press OK.

Step 08:

And you should be left with a text that looks like big chunks of ice for text. Basically you can end your tutorial right here but if you want a different look, continue reading on.

Step 09:

You can also select the Color Overlay with a low opacity to create a clearer see thru effect that makes this very realistic. I think this steps just adds a little more to our texture and makes it looks much nicer.

Step 10:

And finally, you can choose to add a Gradient Overlay to create the gradient effect in your chunks of ice. My gradient is composed by the colors black and white and it makes the ice look more natural and lifelike.

Step 11:

I change the background color to black and as you can see, the texture is still stunning. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Selamat Mencoba!! ^^
