Sure, I can :)

And I will 2!
Imagine that!

Well, first of all, a CDR image is a vector based format.
JPEG is a bitmapformat
So, to convert a CDR image into a JPG is as follows:

-Open your CDR file in Photopaint
You will see the "import to Bitmap" Dialog window.

-adjust the settings according to your wishes. (It makes sence to set the
"color" to 16 million colors, 'cuz jpg needs a 24-bit bitmap. You can
convert this later in Photopaint but you can also do it right here...)

-In the "size" box, you have to set the size of the image itself, NOT the
screensize you want to use it on! Just so you know. I mostly use the "1 to
1" setting...

-What you choose in the "resolution" box, depends on the resolution of the
outputdevice you are going to use. For screen (internet) you may want to set
it to 192x192 and later size it down to 96x96 with the "resample" option in
Paint. (this often gets you a smoother endresult)

-Anti-aliasing should be set to Super-Sampling for the best results.

Give the software some time to calculate the bitmap. I have a pentium 166
with 64 megs of RAM and it sometimes takes my machine up to minutes to
complete the conversion..., depending on the actual size of the object you
are converting.

After that's done, you will have a bitmapimage which you now can save as
JPG...

Note: if your image seems to have lost detail in the process, you may want
to resize the CDR pic to 200% and then repeat the steps above... If it still
doesn't work, let me know...
You can also ask me in person on ICQ: 10035232

Hope that helps!

I would export as a tiff...choose 16 million colors....for size use "custom"
this will save it at its current pixel x pixel size....then open in a
program like Photoshop...L-Veiw Pro...etc and then save as....jpg....
