Why AI?
AI is an EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) vector based format. Vector files are much smaller than bitmap files for image types except photos (TIF is the best photo choice). They also remain editable in a vector based program like CorelDraw. Whenever possible, EPS format is the best. Not all applications accept EPS files though, and you should be printing to a PostScript printer when using EPS. Most desktop computers are not PostScript capable. However, for moving between image editing programs, EPS is ideal.

Why JPG?
If you are exporting a photograph style image for the Web, JPG is the best choice. It is one of two common formats that can be used on the Web (GIF is the other). JPG images can contain full color information, and this format offers excellent compression capabilities for fast downloading of Web images.

You can export any portion of your document as many different types of files. You can export one object, or the whole page. A complete description of what file types available and which attributes can be exported is well outside the scope of this tutorial. In fact, that topic could easily fill an entire book. The important thing to remember though, is that exporting is like translating languages. You are taking CorelDraw language and converting it to a language other programs can understand. When you export, it is important to know where the image will be used.

Import is not to be confused with opening a file. When you import a file, you bring it into your current document. You do not affect the original import file in any way, no matter which changes you make - in effect, you borrow a copy to use in your document. When you open a file and make changes, those changes are saved. You can import an astonishing variety of file types into CorelDraw, with many fully editable.

In CorelDraw, you must select an object before you can apply any change. Your selection tells the program that you want an effect applied to that object. You can select one object, a group of objects, or the whole page, and whatever you apply to the selection will happen to every selected object. The Pick Tool is the main selection tool, used for moving, resizing, and applying most effects. The Shape Tool is primarily for selecting and manipulating nodes within objects. The Text Tool is used for editing text.
