Quick links to procedures on this page:
Corel PHOTO-PAINT provides filters that convert files from one format to another when you import them. You can import a file and place it in the active application window as an object. The imported file becomes part of the active image. You can also bring in a file by opening it in a new application window.
You can use the import filter’s default settings or choose the settings you want when you import the file. You can also save a file’s embedded International Color Consortium (ICC) profile to a local color folder.
While importing a bitmap, you can resample it to change the number of pixels, eliminate unusable detail, and reduce the file size. You can also crop a bitmap to select only the exact area and size of the image you want to import.
You can import the clipart and photos that are included on the Corel DVD. You can search for images by different criteria, such as filename, title, subject, author, keyword, comment, and other properties attached to the file. For more information about searching for files, see the Windows Help. You can also browse and search for content by using the Get More docker. For more information, see Finding content with the Get More docker.
You can also export Corel PHOTO-PAINT images to a variety of file formats. The file format that you choose depends on how you want to use the image in the future. For more information about exporting files, see Exporting images to other file formats.
For information about specific file formats, see Supported file formats.
