Place (import) files

Corel PHOTO-PAINT provides filters that convert files from one format to another when you place 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 search for images by different criteria, such as filename, title, subject, author, keyword, comment, and other properties attached to the file.

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 Export images.
