    Hi Lishmantr

    I don't often browse down to the Corel stuff but wondered whether you had resolved things yet. I stopped routinely upgrading my Corel software at version 9 (still works fine...) but I think I can guess what's causing you an issue. Since you talk about having a *.cpt file I assume you are using PhotoPaint rather than Photoshop - CPT being the main native bitmap file format for PhotoPaint. If Corel X6 still works anything like all the previous versions I'm familiar with, you won't be able to open the file in CorelDraw, but instead you need to create a new empty CorelDraw file and then IMPORT your CPT image into it. It than then be resaved as a native CorelDraw file.

    I'm afraid you're going to have to get your head round the fundamental differences between bitmap images (collections of pixels arranged in a grid, such a digital photographs) and vector images which are what CorelDraw and other drawing programs use - which are basically instructions to create objects on the page, and are therefore scalable without loss of quality. Try Googling for a better explanation than mine of bitmap vs vector.
