For a designer, a combination of programs is required to work, and in some situations it may be necessary to open Corel Photo Paint from CorelDRAW.
This mainly for optimize or enhance vector images, since changes may need to be made in some sections of the file.
And logically, these two programs, even if they come from the same seed, do not have the same utilities, as they are designed for different purposes.
This is where the importance of his lies convergence and, being in the same package, its development is aimed at making it work correctly.
Why should I open Photo Paint from CorelDRAW?
Generally, when a graphic designer deserves to open the Photo Paint program from CorelDRAW, it is to make some corrections to the file.
Remember that Corel's Photo Paint is specially designed for the retouching and effects on images bitmap.
Therefore, in his repertoire of tools there are some that allow you to improve defects in graphic files such as vectorized ones.
For example, this can be removing the background of one image you are working on in CorelDRAW or removing damage from another.
That is, there they will be functions that cannot be fulfilled directly by this program, so you will need Photo Paint support to get it done and get back to work.
Open the Photo Paint program directly while using CorelDRAW
Fortunately, there is a way to open Photo Paint from CorelDRAW, make any necessary changes and corrections, then close and return to the program.
This does not mean that we will have to save, then open the other editing medium, save again and finally reopen the project.
Not so, this instead is a process that you will allow you to quickly use Photo Paint and, once finished, resume the previous project with the improvements made.
This ease is due to the fact that both the interface of one and the other are similar, so this type of convergence can be done without problems.
Among the CorelDRAW options, there is a button that, when pressed, will allow you to use Photo Paint to make corrections and save changes.
Of course, to apply this convergence, both programs must be installed, each in its official versions.
Once you can open the program, proceed to start working with vector graphics from your Corel Photo Paint program.

Convert vector to bitmap
That said, just proceed to open CorelDRAW or, if you already have it open, select a bitmap image to proceed.
As you work with vectors, the logical thing is that it becomes the format supported by Photo Paint from the card " Bitmap ".
This will display the option " Convert into bitmap ”Which, if pressed, will bring up a popup window with certain color, resolution and size settings.
Just choose the settings and changes you want, although the ideal is to leave it as it is, then do click its " OK ".
Eventually, the program will unlock some tools available only for bitmap images, which can be used in that tab.
Remember that before you vectorize a bitmap image, you need to know the type of the image. If you wish, Corel Draw will also provide you with tools to provide special effects to your bitmap images or apply filters to them.

As already mentioned, there are utilities that can only be used with images consisting of bits, including the one that allows you to open Photo Paint from CorelDRAW.

To access it, you need to select the vectorized image converted to bitmap, then select the aforementioned button.
