If you're working CorelDRAW®, you don't have to start Corel® PHOTO-PAINT^TM just to tweak a bitmap you're using in a drawing. CorelDRAW has many built-in photo-editing features, which can found in the Bitmaps menu. For example, you can crop and straighten an image, change its dimensions and resolution, and apply a variety of effects. If, however, you require something more, you can quickly open the image in Corel PHOTO-PAINT by right-clicking the bitmap in CorelDRAW and clicking Edit Bitmap. You can also click Edit Bitmap on the property bar when the image is selected. One great feature that can be found in PHOTO-PAINT is a tool called Cutout Lab, which is fantastic for cropping out the backgrounds of photos.
