Using content

If you want to view or edit a file before you incorporate it into your project, you can open it in CorelDRAW, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, or its associated application.

You can insert and place content in your document. Images that are obtained from online sources, such as iStock and Fotolia, may be subject to copyright and usage restrictions. Such images, also referred to as "comp images," are often low-resolution or watermarked. To use comp images, you must first check with the owner if you have rights to use them and purchase them if necessary. Then, you can replace the comp images in your document with the purchased images. You can view a list of all comp images in a document.
