Don't you think it's about time PHOTO-PAINT had vector shapes? I mean, PP already does a great job with text in this way. Why not treat shapes the same way?
I don't know who thought of it first, but Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 boasted their combination of vector/raster features all in one program and Adobe eventually incorporated vector shapes into Photoshop as well, but still lacking features IMO.
Here's how I would propose vector shapes work in Corel PHOTO-PAINT:
You need to learn to love Draw more. Just rasterise in Draw and open in PP. It's the same difference but the other way around.
Look at Draw as a universal container.
The missing link is an ability to render at 48bit RGB in Draw.

Dude! You're preaching to the choir! You can't possibly meet anyone who loves Draw more than me!
But even with all my love to Draw, there's still no reason I should have to switch applications to perform a simple task.
Hell, if CorelDRAW and PHOTO-PAINT were merged into one program? I would totally support that! But until that day comes, I don't want to switch applications to perform simple functions.
Your solution is extremely inefficient and doesn't solve all of the aforementioned concerns.

Improvements are needed.
I think Yani didn't mean switch applications to perform a simple task.
Be careful Yani; you are asking Jed to doubt in his sacred "workflow".
Understanding why 'that app' is loved and why it is not would... help. ;)
