    Using 2 PMS colors in a fill.

    I'm not sure you'll get the result you expect,but you can make a duplicate of your object directly over the top and set it to overprint. In v11 you cannot see the effect, this was introduced in X3 I think. Be warned though a Pantone blue with a Pantone yellow overprint will NOT give you...

    COREL - raster callibration

    If you are talking about making panaramas then although PhotoPaint has a 'stitching' feature I personally don't find it easy to use but go to www.Serif.com and look up Panarama plus, very easy to use and if there is enough overlap makes a good job. Alan D

    Can't remember if it's on the toolbar by default or if I put it there. If it's default - make sure nothing is selected and it will be on the top toolbar - OR - options - customisation - commands - toolbars (from dropdown) drag 'treat as filled' icon onto your desired position.
