Saving images

You can save an image to preserve it. You can also save images automatically at regular intervals and save backup copies of the file.

When you save an image, you can specify a file format, a filename, and a folder where you want to save the file. Images are automatically saved using the currently selected file format, name, and location. The default format is the native Corel PHOTO-PAINT (CPT) file format. Saving to the Corel PHOTO-PAINT (CPT) file format retains all image properties — objects, the most recently created mask, alpha channels, grids, guidelines, and color information — so you can edit them later.
