I don't use Corel, Jason, but generically speaking, you make a copy and convert to grayscale, then make another copy from the original, and trim out everything but the red dress (lips too?), then combine that with the grayscale, or whatever you would do next in Corel. But you do need the two separate components.

Don't use corel ,but would work it the same way as Sbrem in photoshop...this job looks like a good one for a discharge print to keep a nice softhand for the white ink or if you use regular white ink I would do a high mesh count to keep all the detail I could keep.

I use Photoshop as well so wouldn't be able to explain how to do it in corel but you could just separate the attached image.

Jason,

It's important to keep in mind the basics.... That is, There are two types of computer graphics. Vector also called Post Script and Raster also called Bit-map...

This is a raster based photo... I think Corel comes with Paint? there is freeware like Gimp aslo..... the list grows daily.

You'll need to master a program for each type of graphic. typically Corel or Illy for vector and Photoshop for raster.

I understand that elf and im pretty good with photopaint and draw but photoshop is another animal.
