Converting vector graphics to bitmaps

When you convert a vector graphic to a bitmap, you can apply special effects in the CorelDRAW application that are unavailable to vector graphic or objects. As you convert the vector, you can select the color mode of the bitmap. A color mode determines the number and kind of colors that make up the bitmap, so that file size is also affected.

You can also determine settings such as the aliasing, background transparency, and color profile, as you convert it a vector graphic to a bitmap.
