Corel draw review

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: My experience so far on this software has been very constructive, I hope its interface can become more user friendly in the future.

Pros:

Whatever I want, I can create successfully on this software, like poster or logo design, I enjoy my creativity a lot on this software.

Cons:

I feel only one thing in this software, if Corel Draw itself had some basic features of photo editing, then users like us would have saved time when we have to go to Photoshop or any other application for minor photo editing. And along with designing, we can also edit photos in Corel.

It's great when it works

3.0 10 months ago

Comments: Good, up until the big crash last year. It hasn't worked ever since.

Pros:

This is an all-in-one design package including a very capable photo editor

Cons:

It stopped working! Support is stymied. Upgrading to the newest version did not resolve, even after a complete Windows reinstall. It's useless if it doesn't work.

CorelDRAW Review

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: From creative design, to sign fabrication, etc. My experience has been amazing with this program. It's fun to navigate and its accessible nature lights the beacon of success for any project.

Pros:

The sheer height of the creative ceiling that the features of Corel Draw provide for users.

Cons:

It has a steep learning curve, but I don't dislike that because that just means the capabilities are greater with a little bit of effort!

Alternatives Considered:

I've used CorelDRAW since version 1.2!

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall I am a devoted user even though I have lost countless hours of work from the software crashing mid job. Auto save has NEVER worked. It is still my best option for Graphic design even with its flaws.

Pros:

CorelDraw is affordable and is an excellent tool for T-shirt art. It is great for spot color design and separations.

Cons:

There are always new glitches in each new version Some never get fixed. The screen-printing users are widely ignored by Corel Corp. when we number in the millions of users. The two greatest features that should have been added years ago are the mixing of spot colors at on single point in a fade or fil, and universal color swap within a document regardless of tint.

Corel draw. Good simple program.

4.0 7 months ago

Comments: Although its a simple program and you are able to do everything design and vector related. I enjoy using adobe illustrator much more. The ease of interfase and the fact that it is easily integrated with the rest of creative suite makes me pick illustrator.

Pros:

I liked its ease of use. It is pretty intuitive. I was able to make vectors easily.

Cons:

I don't like that when importing some formats it had some problems, sometimes it crashed.

A cost effective alternative

5.0 last year

Comments: overall i like CorelDraw, have used it for a few years and found it to be a useful tool

Pros:

This is a very robust program packed with many features, at a price point that makes it worth considering when looking for graphic software.

Cons:

not really the fault of the program but most larger companies push you towards Adobe, so you may have to learn to use both

My preferred design software!

5.0 last year

Comments: Corel Draw has been essential to my sign writing business over the years and has given me the tools to develop my marketing portfolio also so very positive experience wiht this software.

Pros:

I have used this software for around 10 years for vector art for sign writing and for marketing design for online and print ads. It is full of functionality and a lot of elements of it are easy to use. Being able to send images to other Corel software it great and the functions for sign writers are good.

Cons:

There is so much functionality that is not always obvious what it achieves. I have had to study the user guides and teach myself some functions which are more fiddly however for someone with advanced education or formal training with this software I expect it would be easier. Ten years in I am still learning new techniques with it. It is definitely not the cheapest option on the market but it is a professional tool.

Comments: CorelDraw is my life, I have used it since 2013 and created countless arts and memories. Its a software worthy investing in

Pros:

CorelDraw is simple, allows you to be more creative without limits.

CorelDraw for outstanding graphic designs.

5.0 last year

Comments: Now that I have mastered the system and have been using it for a while I highly recommend biting the bullet, buying it, learning it and using it. It has amazing features.

Pros:

CorelDraw has several functions I use daily for designs for my clothing shop. It has also been used to design our logo and is a multi-faceted tool with professional-level features and a highly customisable interface.

Cons:

It does take a lot of time and practice to learn the capabilities and is not easy for a beginner but it gets easier over time.

Great program if you're willing to put in the work

4.0 last year

Comments: As a novice user, I find it to be very overwhelming as well as confusing as to why certain features won't work. I had to do a ton of research, buy how to's and I'm still just a novice. That being said, I am NOT a graphic designer by trade so take my view as biased towards a beginner's view. The program does appear to be very powerful and for the most part, it does what I need it to. I need to put in more work to understand/gain the knowledge as it is not the program's fault for my shortcomings.

Pros:

My main use is creating vector files. These graphics/images that I work with need to be created into an outline image thus CDW is unable to trace an image in any format, it would be very time consuming to do it manually. CDW is good at this, not great.

Cons:

The tracing function can improve a good amount. There are a great deal of options, tabs, etc so if you're not going familiarize yourself with them, you not only lose out on a function, you really aren't using the program to its full potential. That being said, it is very overwhelming because of that.

it is very user friendly

4.0 last year

Comments: In my city, where CorelDraw is widely used, I frequently work with printers. That's why I learnt to use it, and my experience has been positive in the areas I've stated. It should be mentioned that the learning curve is considerable. It serves numerous purposes, and practically all types of graphical puzzles can be handled smoothly even if you do not fully master it.

Pros:

CorelDraw was once famous for its user-friendliness and straightforward UI. They were the first to release a version that permitted many pages in the same file, as well as form creation by dragging the mouse. Today, this virtue is preserved; it can work very well, and with good integration with other applications and prepress and printing processes, as well as the ability to export to almost any format in the graphic environment, it can very well cover the requirements that can be asked of a program like this.

Cons:

Despite the foregoing, I must admit that at some time, CorelDraw became stagnant and was replaced by superior capabilities from the competition (such as the shape generation tool or 3D mapping). On the other side, I observe some structural instability in the software, and sudden closures with data loss are a recurring issue that has yet to be resolved. They constantly release new versions with minor tweaks, but such fundamental issues are not addressed.
