Thank you Carl. I should have said this before, but I think she is looking for a coffee color brown, without the cream. You have certainly given this a "latte" look! I'll see if she likes it. Thanks again!

Dave, I should really learn how to do this I guess! Thank you!

Thank you Harvey! I'll run your new color and Carl's new color by her and see what she thinks.

You guys are great! Thanks so much to all of you!

You're welcome. Good luck with your customer.

You said brown, so that's what you got! In CorelDraw (version 12), you can darken the brown by selecting the object and, while holding down CTRL, left clicking on BLACK (or whatever color you want to add to it) on the color pallette. This will darken (add black) to the object in increments for each click.

I did a quick conversion from JPG to CDR (vector). There are a few items that I left for you to clean up if you decide to use it. Zoom in and you'll see where the areas are that need some minor touch-up.

Have a great weekend.

What a great tip. I have been using Corel for about 20 years and missed that trick. Thanks.

I'm not much into tweaking colors. In fact, I'm perfectly happy with the primaries. However, when someone asks if I can make it a little more red, or whatever, I ask them "How many clicks?". It never ends.............

Carl,

I must have been too tired last night to realize you had vectored this for me. I am able to change the colors to anything I want now! Thanks so much!

Did you use Corel Draw to change it?

PhotoPaint and CorelTrace. And then the clean-up in CorelDraw.

Put the JPG underneath the vector version and make sure it meets your and your customer's satisfaction.

The DXF is also a vector. I did a little touch up on the registered symbol, but Corel X3 did virtually everything else with the right settings in trace.

Hi,

It is an excellent trick to minimize the colouring effect.

Thank you.

You guys beat me to it.
Here is the JPG file with only the word "CAFE" vestorised. Ungroup the assembly and do whatever you have to do.
