Review:

CorelDraw Graphics Suite includes CorelDraw for page layout and vector based drawing and PhotoPaint for image re-touching and image editing utilities. Other utilities include PowerTrace for Bitmap to vector conversions and Bitstream font navigator for font management and CorelCapture for print screen.

Several new features include such as live text formatting which display changes before you apply them actually. CorelDraw is filled with energetic hints because a program suite that is loaded with so many programs and features, solid help is necessary.

New templates for professionals are categorized and demonstrated in a stylish interface. Templates can be sorted by different types such as business cards, newsletters, brochures, posters or by industry. Magnificent import/export facility supports more than 100 formats.

While comparing it with its rival Adobe Illustrator, I found CorelDraw simpler, easier and more worthwhile. A user can enjoy a full functional 15 days trial to be familiar with it. But registration for a free Corel account to use the trial is mandatory.
