[citation needed] As other raster graphics editors, Corel Photo-Paint allows an image to be edited in multiple layers, called objects here.

The UI is highly customizable, and the user can freely move dialogs or adjust button sizes and such.

[citation needed] As a component of the CorelDraw Graphics Suite, Photo-Paint can exchange data with other programs in the suite, including Corel Connect (Version X5 - X7), which enables users to share files between different computer software and drives on the user's computer.

CorelDraw and Photo-Paint are also copy-paste compatible, with format and effects retention — and without file conversion.
