How Do You Edit a Bitmap in Corel ?

We have just purchased X6 and are having difficulty editing a bitmap. Its unable to be selected.

After reading your posts here we have tried the following which we find quite annoying for a new program.

Surely this is something simple we have missed. All we have done is installed the X6 and run the program , clicked on a bitmap and nothing ??? This has really left a bad experience especially when we just purchased this program and it cant even edit an image. The customer support was terrible , I had to ring back becasue the person couldnt hear me about 8 times. It was only a search on the web that led me here.

I dont think we will be recommending corel to anyone soon. Hopefully someone can help us.
