Open images

You can open most bitmaps in Corel PHOTO-PAINT. Each image you open appears in its own image window.

When you open documents in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, by default they are displayed in tabbed view. You can customize the application so that documents are opened in floating windows.

You can also place images. Placing allows you to add a new image to the active image window. For more information, see Place (import) files.
