Sharing your work

To share your images with others, you can save
or export them to other file formats (such as
TIFF, JPEG, or PDF), print them, or upload them
to ConceptShare. Regardless of how you
intend to use an image, it is a good idea to
keep a copy of the file in the Corel PHOTO-
PAINT (CPT) file format. Saving to the CPT file
format retains all image properties: objects,
the most recently created mask, alpha
channels, grids, guidelines, and color
information.

To change the file format of an image, you can
save it (File Save as) or export it (File
Export) to a different file format. When you
use the Save as command, the image appears
in the image window in the new file format.
When you export an image, the image remains

open in the image window in the original file

format.

To prepare an image for printing, you can save

or export to the TIFF file format. To prepare an

image for the Web, you can export it to JPEG,

PNG, or GIF. The JPEG and PNG file formats are

ideal for photos, which usually contain color

gradations. The GIF file format is suitable for

images that contain solid colors.

Export dialog box

You can also quickly save an image to a PDF

file by clicking File ` Publish to PDF. The

Publish to PDF dialog box lets you access

PDF presets that optimize the PDF file for its

intended use — for example, Document

distribution, Prepress, or Web.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT provides extensive options

for printing your work. The Print dialog box

(File ` Print) lets you specify the layout and

scale of a print job, preview print jobs, and set

various prepress options, such as whether to

print crop marks and registration marks. In

addition, you can view a summary of issues

and problems, along with suggestions for

resolving them. For more information, see the

“Printing” section of the Help.

With ConceptShare (File ` Publish image to

ConceptShare), you can publish an image to
