Plug-ins Lets you use a third-party filter to apply effects to bitmaps in

Bitmaps menu.
Adding plug-in filters to CorelDRAW provides additional features and effects that you can use to edit images. You can add plug-in filters,
and you can remove them when you no longer need them.
CorelDRAW automatically inflates a bitmap so that a special effect covers the entire image. You can disable automatic inflation and manually
specify dimensions for the inflated bitmap.
