Yes, export it, but are you looking for "cuttable" artwork? Then thats a different process, you have to use Trace, (I prefer Streamline) or another "vectorizing" software to make the jpg into "cuttable" line art. Then open it into Corel and clean-up

I have Corel. This is how I make a jpeg file into something I can cut. After scaning the image. I will convert into black and white if it's not already scanned that way. Then import into Corel. Then I selest the image and hit Trace Bitmap. Corel trace will come on. Then I hit Trace and then By Advance outline. Save the traced image. Go back to the regular Corel, import the new tracved image. Of course it's gonna need some remodeling. All of this is covered in the Corel user guide. It's under the working with Bitmaps chapter. Then a section called tracing bitmaps. I'm sure there's a lot of different ways to do this. But this is the method I use and abuse.

more than half the time I find it easier to print it out, cover with tracing paper, draw the line art, then scan/trace as line art from the get-go
can also mess around with it in the paint program to get it to a tracable form
