Typically you just save the file in a format that supports masks (PNG, TIF, CPT and NOT JPG) and then import that file into CorelDRAW.

That drag & drop routine does not work for me, i'm using PPx7, what may I be doing wrong? thanks

[@UnleashedGraphics]

The video was made with Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5. Corel made some changes starting in Corel PHOTO-PAINT X7 that removed some of the basic functionality such as drag and drop. That is one reason that I still use Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 for most of my editing.
