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.
When you say editing, what are you trying to do? Change colors, convert it into a vector artwork, delete sections, etc...?
It says in the manual, that if you want to edit a bitmap in corel, selct the bitmap then select the edit bitmap button , but the edit bitmap button is not selectable. It says by selecting this you cen edit in Photo Paint , easy but doesnt work.

That sounds like the instruction for editing a bitmap that is part of a CorelDraw document. But I think either you're not editing a CorelDraw document at the time, or the object you've selected is not actually a bitmap.
The image is a JPG imported in , when I select it I am unable to edit with edit bitmap menu ?

What does it display at the bottom of the screen when you select the image? It should be something like dbb (RGB) on Layer 1 400 x 400 dpi.
Also if you could compare the display in the object manager ...
Yes the information is displayed at the bottom of the screen when selected.
