With X5 when importing a TIFF that was saved with Nikon Capture, I now get a dialogue box which asks me if I want to import page 1 or 2 or both. It's seeing the thumbnail or image header as another page. Same thing if I paste in a TIFF from Nikon View.
How do I get rid of this?
I just want the real image to import or paste in as with Draw X3 and Draw X4.
That one was list in the first few days for repair.

You know how it goes, Corel get to work on issues very quickly. It never seems to take more than a couple of months.

X5 supports muti-layer TIF, but X3 or X4 can't recognize this feature. Select only "page 1" when import the file

I have to do that each and every time in X5? (please say it's not so...)
There is a whole swag of issues with TIF files.
I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been a quick fix posted by Corel.
It's got something to do with meta data but that is all anyone outside Corel knows. The Nikon files in particular suffer.
Same issue exists if they are processed in DxO. Which I keep telling everyone to try as it's HOT HOT HOT. ;)
I hope there's a workaround - there's got to be a way to override it like the rest of the warning dialogue boxes which you can turn on and off, but I can't find it :(
It may sound silly, but importing around ~400 TIFF files into CorelDraw a month, the extra clicking and delay of that totally irrelevant dialogue box for me will have a definite cost. Since I've never dealt with a multi-page TIFF, it's totally irrelevant to me and I can't imagine ever wanting to import the low-res thumbnail of a TIFF.
You better send an email to Tony S and ask. As far as I know it's broken and there is no workaround bar reprocessing the file in PP X4 or similar.
You could maybe just pull the files into Draw X4 then open that file in X5 but you would need to do a test and check.
Blast.
I hate it when an upgrade adds an extra click and/or redundant step that can't be turned off. I guess if others are using multi-page tiffs (which they must be or it wouldn't be introduced) with draw, it's a benefit to them, but I've honestly never used a multi-page tiff and have used tiff as my transition format between raw and corel for 8 years now. It's a real disappointment to find that such a basic step is a setback for me since it's a step I will perform hundreds and thousands of times over and over each time I import a raster image into draw.
Why no checkbox to save as default?
Or a checkbox to skip import dialogue box?That would be great if you could just have x5 import page1 by default like all previous versions did without the extra redundant step.
I don't see it being workable to go between versions of coreldraw on a routine basis for the draw file itself, so this is a small hinderance to using drawx5 for me, but one that will end up causing a lot of frustration for me unfortunately.
I see I can't even open any of my TIFFs in photopaint x5 (it opens a cropped portion of page1 only the size of the thumbnail/header image.) That's even worse.
For now, I'm afraid my eagerness and excitement over X5 isn't going well at all. Frustrating. But hopefully my $ will be an investment in the future as I'm sure these little details can all be corrected/enhanced fairly easily to restore previous efficiency and then some. But very frustrating at the moment to have a step backwards.
