prepare a file in CorelDRAW and use PLP to
transform the image. This allows you to use the
powerful layout features of Corel or other design
software along with the photo transformation
capabilities of PLP.

then select from the menu bar Effects,
PowerClip, and Place Inside Container. Click
the outline of the photo placeholder to place
the photo inside the box.

powerclip box, right click the photo and
select Edit Powerclip. When you are finished
adjusting the image, right click and select
Finish Editing this Level.
