Saving, exporting and deleting paths
You can save one or more paths with an image when you save the image to the Corel PHOTO-PAINT (CPT) file format. You can also export paths for use in other applications, such as CorelDRAW (CDR) or Adobe Illustrator (AI). If you want to use a path in other Corel PHOTO-PAINT images, you must export the path to the Corel Presentation Exchange (CMX) file format. You can delete a path at any time.
Importing paths and vector graphics
You can import a path into a Corel PHOTO-PAINT image. You can open more than one path and switch between them in the image window. Corel PHOTO-PAINT also lets you import vector graphics from other drawing applications. When vector graphics are converted to paths, each point on the vector is converted to a node. To import text from CorelDRAW, you must first convert the text to curves.
Viewing a path
By default, a path displays in black. You can hide a path when you are working on an image, or you can change the default color of the path to make it more visible.
