Try the Burn Tool (dodge & burn) under the Effects Tools

You could try this VBA macro.
I made it a long time ago and never quite finished it so it still has some rough edges .. sorry about that .. :-|

nice job!


Jeff Harrison:
nice job!

Thanks!
The main problem I have with it is that it sometimes produces straight edges here and there.
Not sure how to fix this, since I no longer understand how it works :-)
(Hitting Apply twice usually seems to fix it).

That's indeed a very nice Macro. great Job!

Thanks for the macro ....it works a treat.....as you say hit it twice and your there ..

you need to put it on Jeff site.

Here is a slightly improved version - the "straight edges" problem is largely under control, I hope; also default values changed a bit.
A problem remains that the effect is rather dependent on the size of the image, but since the sliders give you enough room to play around I think I'll let it stand there ..

I am getting this error when I try to run your burntedges macro in PPX5. Downloaded the the second one you posted. I put it in the user PP GMS folder (Windows 7).

C:/Users/MY USERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Corel/CorelDRAW 20Graphics Suite 0X5/PHOTO-PAINT/GMS/

I think you are putting it in the wrong folder.....I put it in the     C:/program files/corel/suiteX5/photopaint/GMS.

It works very well for me .

Hi.

Also make sure you have atleast these references selected.

Go toTools > References in the VBA editor for Photopaint.

I tried moving it to Photo-Paint's Program file GMS folder (as opposed to the user) and I am still getting the same missing library error. The references you mentioned are checked. I also tried downloading the file again and still no joy. It's not essential that I have this, but now I am curious to know why it won't work!

BTW...I have LOTS and LOTS of macros installed in PP as well as CD, in fact, I've used several of them today. I have even created several macros myself. What's different about this one?

Hi.

In code view put a couple breakpoints as shown in these 2 attached pics.

Run macro. When macro breaks press F8 to execute line by line.

You will be able to find out which line is casuing the error.
