What you do with CorelDRAW is limited only by your imagination, time, and budget. I can only show you how to use the tools and effects included in the program. In this class, I cannot teach you all you can do with this program. CorelDRAW is one of the most powerful and versatile illustration programs on the market today, on any platform. To make your work easier, Corel Corporation has added a few bitmap manipulation tools in DRAW and includes its bitmap manipulation program, CorelPhotoPaint, when you purchase CorelDRAW. Each object is independent of the others and can be manipulated as needed. When you have a vector image, you redefine the size and location of the lines. To change an object in a bitmap, you must change all the pixels, so if a red box on a blue background needs to be smaller, you have to recreate a smaller red box and change the pixels where the box was to the blue background. A vector program defines a line of pixels and treats them as a single object. A bitmap file defines the position, color and size of each pixel. How the program treats the pixels is determined by whether the image is defined as a vector or a bitmap. Images are displayed on the computer screen as pixels.
