Once imported, however, there are limitations to what you can
do with bitmaps in CorelDRAW.
Since a bitmap is created as a collection of arranged pixels,
you cannot manipulate its individual parts, as you can with vector
objects.
If you want to manipulate the bitmap in any way, you'll first
need to convert it to a vector graphic, using OCR-Trace.
In the next few steps, you will convert a bitmap to a vector drawing
using Corel OCR-TRACE. First, you need to open Corel OCR-TRACE.
Click the red Corel symbol
on the toolbar and choose Corel OCR-TRACE.
