Opening images as a new document
DrawPlus allows a comprehensive range of image file formats to be opened, each
as a separate DrawPlus document. From the document, you can add your own
text captions, lines, shapes, or apply image adjustments and effects (see p. 188).
You can save your design changes as a new project or just export the image (with
or without adjustment), while preserving its original properties.
