Photos in graphic editor

[katieturner]

I made some great photos of nature a week ago on my Canon PowerShot SX730. After I started to post-process it via CorelDRAW X8, the process was almost complete yesterday evening. Today at opening one of the .cdr files popped me up...Error opening a Graphics file. I applied some coreldraw file recovery software, but it weren't effective. I tried to open this file in other version of CorelDRAW, but it also didn't assist. Are there any ways to solve this trouble?

I don't know your camera nor the software but if the shots are in
RAW format, they are safe but you will possibly have to redo
the work.

If shot jpg, you may get back to the original and start over. If you
worked on the original jpg's, then I can't help you. Others may!

Is the original still on your memory card? If so just re-import the file and start again. Otherwise it looks like you have saved your work in the incorrect format and is lost.

I'm not sure of the cause, but maybe these considerations might help:
A CorelDraw .cdr file is a vector (smooth curves) type of graphics file. You can embed a picture in it and draw with shapes on it. I havent used X8 or any Corel since X3. So maybe they have incorporated pixel editing.
It's possible that the filename extension should not have been .cdr. It's also possible that your original photo was "linked" into the file. And not actually "embedded". So if the original was moved or renamed, it can no longer be found.

Corel Draw creates a backup file of your drawings in case of unexpected software crashes. Crashes can occur as a result of a too many programs running at once, or a computer overheating. The backup file has an extension of .BAK and is created to help you recover corrupt or lost files.

But there is alternative way to you, see and learn following CorelDraw Online Service, in case it can’t aid you, then two more ways might help
