CorelDRAW X3 :: How To Force PhotoPaint To Stick To Same Window

I've got this huge project - a printed catalog - that involves hundreds of product photos, of which the originals are scattered all over the place in different directories, etc.  Nobody knows where a photo might be hiding. However, luckily, this is an update of an earlier catalog of the same type, so most of the photos are already there. Unfortunately, many of them need to be "photoshopped" in some way, adding pigtail connectors in place of terminal blocks etc., which is fine.

But, when I try  to use the edit bitmap function in DRAW, the photo always opens in a new copy of PhotoPaint, forcing me to then save it separately, adding a name instead of "Bitmap in..." which would be all the 100 or so photos that I will have to work on.  I don't have any need to have the bitmap saved separately except that I need to have the various photos that I'm disecting in the same copy of PhotoPaint, so that means I have to jump though all these hoops.

Q:  Is there a way to force the Edit Bitmap to open everything in the same copy of PhotoPaint?  So that I can simply cut and paste pieces, etc.
