I just bought Corel Draw 12 and got it installed and I don't know were to start learning about how to use the program. What is the easiest way to learn how to use it for plasma work? Is there any cheap or free tutorials, books, cds that work good? Thanks, Ryan

Hi,

Learn to hand trace bitmaps, this will get you the best results. Tom has tutorial he has posted to his forum. He is also a great resource for anything plasma.

This website also gives the basics of hand tracing using the bezier tool.
