However, all that has changed with the introduction of the new bevel effect in CorelDRAW X3. You can now add a third dimension (see below) and customize your bevels with depth, color, and lighting options. This new feature is a welcome addition to the effects available in CorelDRAW.

The Cutout Lab in Corel PHOTO-PAINT® enables you to extract or copy photo elements from any digital image with precision and relative ease. Much more than just a quick selection tool, the Cutout Lab accurately detects almost any shape and preserves the fine details of an image. It automatically applies transparent edge-feathering, and it enables you to decide whether your cutout will be an object without a background, an object on top of the original image, or a clip mask attached to the original image.
