Corel PHOTO-PAINT lets you export the following web-compatible file formats: GIF, PNG, and JPEG.
While specifying exporting options, you can preview an image with up to four different configurations of settings. You can compare file formats, preset settings, download speeds, compression, file size, image quality, and color range. You can also examine previews by zooming and panning within the preview windows.
Choosing a web-compatible file format
This table is a quick reference for choosing a web-compatible file format.
Exporting palette-based images
Palette-based images, such as paletted GIF and 8-bit PNG, allow individual pixels to retain their exact color value. This lets you control the display of colors in the file when exporting. Palette-based images also allow you to introduce transparency to a file by choosing a color in the image and making it transparent. For information, see Creating palette-based images with transparent colors and backgrounds.
