Greeting to all readers

I need to creata an rock look image that look like Egyptian writing on the wall immediately and have not use any program before.
fortunately I have a copy of CorelDraw that came free from the Macword UK march issue.
Is it possible to done on the CorelDraw 8?
If so, is there any place on the internet I can turn to lean how to do something like that.
It will be better if you can show me personally how.
Thank you for your time.

For such a specialized use. I wouldn't try and fake it. Buy a stock photo shot for $50 or so. You'll be happier with the results if you don't already have techniques to create such an effect.

If you are bent on doing this yourself. Scan an image of the background stone you want. Then, add your image of heiroglyphics or text on a new layer and work with the layering effects and layer blending modes to acheive a composite that looks believable.

CorelDraw8 or any other program of its caliber or Photoshop's isn't something that can simply be learned in a single lesson. Its more or a process of learning techniques and experimentation. Once you have a good grounding, there are *lots* of things you can learn from others who have 'learned' different methods of achieving effects. Before then, you'll only be following step-by-step instructions and likely not getting the best effect you can.
