Opening images
You can open most bitmaps in Corel PHOTO-PAINT. Each image you open appears in its own image window.
You can also import images. Importing allows you to add a new image to the active image window. For more information, see “Importing files.”
You can use clipart, photos, and sounds stored on the Corel content CDs or that are available online. The digital content manual contains pictures of the graphics available on the CD and their folder locations.
Opening earlier versions of multilingual files
You can open or import an image from version 11 or earlier of Corel PHOTO-PAINT that contains text in a language different from the language of your operating system. To do this, you can use code page settings to ensure that object names and notes saved with the image are displayed correctly in the Objects docker. To ensure that text is correctly displayed in the image window, you need to use encoding settings. For more information, see “Encoding settings to display text correctly.”
