Some formats like ai, eps,pdf you can open in Photoshop using open command from File menu, Photoshop will automatically convert vector objects to pixels. Another way is to place vector based image from File > Place. Place command will always create Smart Object which is layer with some extra options. To convert Smart Object layer to regular just right click on Smart Object layer in LAYERS palette and choose Rasterize Layer or go to Layer > Rasterize > Smart Object.

What is the difference between Adobe Photoshop and Photoshop?

CorelDRAW is a vector drawing illustration application, while Photoshop is a raster (or bitmap) image editing and painting application. Vector drawing uses mathematical equations (inside the program, the user doesn't have to worry about the math) to define the lines, curves, angles, etc. of a line drawing or collage style image. Raster or Bitmap images define the color properties of each individual pixel of an image, for pictures more like paintings or photographs. Vector drawings can be less "realistic" looking and more illustrative. Vector drawing is ideal for line drawings, logos, diagrams, plans, charts, maps, and so on. Due to their mathematical properties, vector drawings also scale without loss or distortion, while bitmap images become distorted (pixelated, jaggy) if they are enlarged or reduced (much).

There are two fundamentally different types of graphics image - Vector images and Bitmap images. Vector images are made up of lines, polygons etc. Bitmap images are made up of pixels of color. The type of package used depends on the type of image you're trying to work with. Whilst there is some overlap between the two, ie you can create some vector artwork in photoshop and you can do some minimal bitmap work in illustrator, in essence illustrator is a vector graphics package where you draw your image with lines etc. Photoshop is a fully featured bitmap editing package
