: Export Corel in Photoshop I have a site design in cdr format. How can I divide the design into pieces in Corel Draw? Can I export cdr file in psd or other format that is useful in Photoshop?

Exporting a file to Photoshop will prevent you from editing it further in vectors. It is a little obvious but I need to mention it.

The process:

1) Define what you want as each separated layer in your project.

2) Make a new layer for it, and move the respective objects there.

3) Export all the project it as CPT. In the dialog box there is a checkbox almost at the bottom: "Keep Layers".

4) Open the generated CPT in PhotoPaint and save it as PSD file. Ready!



Some notes.


The most crucial point is that you define correctly the resolution when exporting to CPT. Play with the size and ppi resolution.
Corel will export only the "printable layers".
There is a chance you want to prepare also an empty rectangle with no stroke to define a canvas. For example: imagine that you have a text in the center of the page. The resulting CPT file will be only the text. If you define a canvas this way you will have a bigger file with the same proportions as your page, with the text inside.
Keep in mind that a vector based layer is diferent than a Photoshop layer. You can have multiple objects in each layer on Corel (A), but all of them will be merged into a single Photoshop layer (B). That is why you need to separate them in layers prior of the export. Only the printable layers will be exported (C).
