Hi, BurrMan... thank you for the video!

I’m not a particularly skilled CorelDRAW user myself, so I asked my colleagues (who use Moi3D and need this script) to watch your video.

Their response was that, without diminishing our respect for you in any way, they are somewhat “reluctant” to involve another piece of software in the workflow besides Moi3D and CorelDRAW. So, even though the method you demonstrated in the video is perfectly valid and legitimate, they have decided to set that option aside for their individual workflows. I hope you can understand, as they work under very tight deadlines and have quite a heavy workload. For them, the most practical approach is the one that involves the shortest possible workflow.

That said, outside of working hours, I’ll ask our IT support team to install Corel PHOTO-PAINT on their computers as a backup, because I’m sure there will be situations where the method you demonstrated in the video will be exactly what we need.

For the time being, while we wait to see whether there is a way to actually achieve transparency directly, they have agreed to place the screenshot result from the clipboard as the bottom-most layer, so that anything they add afterward can simply overlap the image from the clipboard.


Sincerely,
- Elang
