This ability to combine bitmap and vector graphics also extends into the program’s drawing tools. This allows you to apply multiple effects to an image, and then hide or show each effect individually in order to create several different versions of the same image. These effects are ‘non-destructive’, so they don’t permanently alter the original image. Clicking on the FX icon in the Properties section of the Inspector displays a pull-down menu containing dozens of bitmap effects and filters that can be applied to either vector or bitmap images. A key feature here is the Object Inspector – which is new to the Windows version of the suite as well – which displays a thumbnail visual preview of all objects and grouped-objects within a drawing, along with a name that you can edit, and a search tool for quickly locating and selecting individual objects, such as ‘blue petal’.Īlso found in the Inspector palette are the new bitmap effects tools.

There are also a number of additional utilities that are available from within the CorelDraw and Photo-Paint apps, such as AfterShot 3 HDR for working with RAW photo files, and PowerTrace for converting bitmap images into vector graphics.
