File formats PhotoDraw can open

Format	Description	File type	What happens to the file that you import
BMP	Windows Bitmap	Bitmap	PhotoDraw supports all Windows and OS/2 bitmaps, including RLE (Run Length Encoded) bitmaps and DIB (device-independent bitmaps).
CDR	CorelDRAW	Vector	PhotoDraw supports file formats in CDR, CMT, CMX, and PAT file formats from CorelDRAW 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0, with these limitations: Object and PostScript texture fills are replaced with solid gray fills. Gradient fills are split into mono-colored stripes. PhotoDraw provides no support for: CorelDRAW preferences, such as page size and orientation, units, grid, and guidelines Lenses and powerclips Pages, layers, and groups OLE objects Rotated bitmaps Vector fills Multi-area paragraph text
CGM	Computer Graphics Metafile	Vector	PhotoDraw supports all three encodings of Version 1 of CGM 1992, and all valid .cgm graphics files, but not CGM 1992 Versions 2, 3, and 4.
DRW	Micrografx Designer/Draw	Vector	PhotoDraw supports all Micrografx Designer 3.x, Charisma 2.1, and Draw files. Because these files don't contain information about the size of the image, PhotoDraw imports the entire first page of the file just as it would appear in Micrografx Designer. After the image is imported, you can crop it to the exact size you need. The following elements are not supported: Text arrays Some Micrografx Designer 3.x fonts Clip paths and tiled paths Gradient fills Note The filter that allows you to import .drw files is not installed by default. If you want to install .drw files, reinstall PhotoDraw, and check the DRW filter.
DXF	AutoCAD Format 2-D	Vector	PhotoDraw imports multiple viewport.dxf files by using the current viewport. There is no support for: Extrusions that are part of 3-D drawings Control codes and special characters embedded in text shapes that require special characters The .dxf files that require separate shape definition files Note The filter that allows you to import .dxf files is not installed by default. If you want to install DXF file format, reinstall PhotoDraw, and check the DXF filter.
EMF	Enhanced Metafile	Vector	PhotoDraw fully supports enhanced Metafiles , with one limitation: imported vector objects cannot be broken apart, and their points cannot be edited in PhotoDraw.
EPS	Encapsulated PostScript	Vector	PhotoDraw supports Adobe Systems Encapsulated PostScript Specification Versions 3.0 and earlier, including EPS formats from TIFF (tagged image file format) and WMF (Windows Metafile) embedded previews. If an .eps file contains an embedded TIF format or Windows Metafile preview, a representation of the image appears on the screen. The quality of the preview depends on the resolution of the TIF format or Windows Metafile format embedded in the .eps file when it's created. Low, medium, and high resolutions are generally available for creating an .eps file. The higher the resolution of the preview image, the larger the .eps file size will be. Because such previews are primarily used to position images on the page, resolution is often low. A high-resolution preview isn't necessary because it is discarded when the .eps file is printed to a Postscript printer. If an embedded TIFF or Windows Metafile preview isn't included in the .eps file you import, the graphic displays a message instead of a preview of the graphic in your presentation. However, the graphic prints correctly to a PostScript printer. If you print an .eps file to a non-Postscript printer, the preview image is printed as it appears on the screen. All .eps files are designed for printing to a PostScript printer.
FPX	Flashpix	Bitmap	PhotoDraw fully supports FPX format.
GIF	Graphics Interchange Format	Bitmap	PhotoDraw supports versions GIF87a (including interlacing) and GIF89a (including interlacing and transparency), with one limitation: only the first image of a multi-image GIF is imported.
JPG	Joint Photographic Experts Group	Bitmap	PhotoDraw supports version 6.0 of the JFIF (JPEG File Interchange Format), but not JTIF (JPEG Tagged Interchange Format) files (JTIF and CMYK (cyan-magenta-yellow-black) JPEG file formats.
MIC	Microsoft Image Composer	Bitmap	PhotoDraw fully supports MIC file format.
MIX	Microsoft PictureIt!	Bitmap	PhotoDraw fully supports all files created in Microsoft Picture It! And saved in MIX file format.
PCD	Kodak Photo CD	Bitmap	PhotoDraw supports Kodak Photo CD Version 3.0. Because the Photo CD graphics file format stores multiple images with different resolutions, orientations, and color depths, you need to specify the resolution, orientation, and color depth of the image in the Options dialog box that appears when you import a Kodak Photo CD file. By default, the filter imports an image with 768 x 512 pixels and 24-bit color depth.
PCX	PC Paintbrush	Bitmap	PhotoDraw supports all versions of the .pcx file through ZSoft Version 3.0, with support for 256-color images. This is the common interchange format used by Microsoft Windows Paintbrush. Note The filter that allows you to import .pcx files is not installed by default. If you want to install .pcx files, reinstall PhotoDraw and check the PCX filter.
PCT	Macintosh PICT	Vector	When you copy your Macintosh PICT file formats to a computer that uses Windows, rename them with the .pct file extension so that PhotoDraw can recognize the files as PICT formats. For example, if you have a graphics file named "Bear" on the Macintosh, you should rename the file to "Bear.pct" before you attempt to open the file in PhotoDraw. Note The filter that allows you to import .pct files is not installed by default. If you want to install .pct files, reinstall PhotoDraw and check the PCT filter.
PNG	Portable Network Graphics	Bitmap	PhotoDraw imports all files conforming to the Portable Network Graphics Tenth Specification (Version 1.0).
PSD	Adobe Photoshop	Bitmap	PhotoDraw fully supports all .psd files. Each layer becomes a separate object in PhotoDraw.
TGA	Truevision Targa	Bitmap	PhotoDraw supports all TGA (Truevision Targa) file formats with up to 32 bits per pixel. Note The filter that allows you to import .tga files is not installed by default. If you want to install .tga files, reinstall PhotoDraw and check the TGA filter.
TIF	Tagged Image File Format	Bitmap	PhotoDraw supports all TIF formats that conform to TIFF Specification Revision 5.0 and 6.0, Part 1: Baseline TIFF, including monochrome, grayscale, palette color, and RGB True Color images. Single 8-bit alpha channel stored with an RGB True Color image is correctly handled, as are CMYK (cyan-magenta-yellow-black) images saved with the TIF format extension. Note the following limitations: Only the first image of a .tif with multiple images (subfiles) is imported. The filter does not support multiple alpha channels (stored as subfiles) or alpha channels that don't have 8 bits per pixel.
WMF	Windows Metafile	Vector	PhotoDraw supports the Windows Metafile format, with one limitation: imported vector objects cannot be broken apart, and their points cannot be edited in PhotoDraw.
WPG	WordPerfect Graphics	Bitmap	PhotoDraw supports WordPerfect Graphics versions 1.0, 1.0e, and 2.0, which correspond to WordPerfect Version 6.x and earlier. For .wpg files created in DrawPerfect, the picture frame size is the size of the screen. Note the following limitations: PostScript information is lost in Encapsulated PostScript images embedded in WordPerfect Graphics files. WordPerfect Graphics files with large, embedded bitmaps might not appear properly on computers that use the Mach series video drivers from ATI. If you think you have this problem, try changing your video driver to the 8514/a drivers. Note The filter that allows you to import files is not installed by default. If you want to install files, reinstall PhotoDraw and check the WPG filter.
