    I've used Corel since I believe Corel 3 (wow... I'm dating myself) This I believe will be the last upgrade I will get... there is NOTHING else I need... this does it all.
    Unfortunately I think I've said the same thing for Corel 3... 4... 5... 7...12

    I would rate this a five but because they ALWAYS seem to bring out a newer version just as I master the previous version... it gets a 4 for just annoying me

    This product does it all, for WAAAAYYYY less than the Adobe Suite products. About any file format you need is easily imported or exported.
    It is very easy to learn, has a great website for help, and includes vector and raster software, as well as good vectorization functions, page layout features, and is gaining market share more and more. It is worth trying!

    I have used CorelDraw since version 3.0 (over 20 years) and have found it to be all that I need for the production of a wide range of comprehensive graphic projects. I've used Illustrator as well and found Corel to be more intuitive. CorelDraw's increased compatibility with Illustrator and PhotoShop is wonderful when working with other design professionals who utilize them.

    I Love Corel, I've used it for 20 years, so it's like an old friend. It can do anything that Adobe does.

    This is a very good program that covers a wide array of graphic art, and even fine art uses. I use it at my sign shop all the time. I prefer it to using Adobe Illustrator CS2....more user friendly I think. I tend to use a limited range of its tools in my day to day sign work, but after hours when I want to work on my fine art projects it offers a huge range of pre-defined and user defined tools to enhance my art processes, and the images themselves. It is extremely useful in that it can read and work with a very wide range of file types, a very neccesary aspect when dealing with clients who may have some less used file types that they have their logo or such in, and you have to be able to work it into a finished sign.

    one of my favorite software... with a user friendly interface that help artist to create artwork in fast and accurate time.... also to mention the wide effects that can be found in this software plus the variety of colored template.... its a combination of photoshop and illustrator but........ sometimes buggy specially in print production.

    My favorite thing about this software is the finished file size. The exact same vector file created/modified in Illustrator is a small fraction of the size in Corel(which is easy to test because Corel is now Illustrator friendly). I've been using Corel since 98. It's difficult to navigate but once you learn where everything is it will probably be your vector software of choice.
