CorelDRAW Exercise: Remove Image Background and Wrap Text

This exercise demonstrates how to remove an image’s background and wrap text around it in CorelDRAW.

Steps:

1. Open Image: Import the image into CorelDRAW.
2. Remove Background:
   • Use the PowerTRACE tool to convert the image to vector format.
   • Select the background elements and delete them.
   • Alternatively, use the Interactive Fill Tool to remove the background.
3. Create Text Frame: Draw a text frame around the image.
4. Wrap Text:
   • Select the image.
   • In the Object Properties docker, under Wrap, choose a wrapping style (e.g., Contour, Behind, Through).
   • Adjust the Text Wrap Offset to control the spacing.
5. Add Text: Type your text into the text frame.

Key Considerations:

• Image complexity can affect background removal accuracy.
• Experiment with different wrapping styles to achieve desired layout.
• Refine text positioning and spacing for optimal visual appeal.

By following these steps, you can effectively remove image backgrounds and create visually engaging layouts with text wrapping in CorelDRAW.
