Pros the drag and drop ability would have to be the top feature for us. it speeds up the overall process dramatically. Cons it would have to be when first using the program. it can be a little overwhelming, but stick with it. the more you use it, the easier it gets, and the pay off is well worth it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Marketing Manager Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Graphic design program of the highest quality and ease of use" March 5, 2022 4.0 Using CorelDraw, you can create professional designs and artworks. Because this program can import and export a wide variety of graphic files, it can be used for a wide variety of graphic design projects. Print materials such as brochures, posters, banners, flyers, and business cards may all be created with CorelDraw. It's also quite easy for us to come up with a lot of various layouts so that we can provide solutions with a variety of options. Pros The quality of this tool much exceeds the scope of any evaluation. No review, in my opinion, could do it justice. It's clear to me that this software has made my design team more efficient. You may use CorelDraw to turn a raster image into a vector design with ease. In terms of ease of use, the dynamic asset management tool is unmatched. Additionally, it features the best font management system in the world. You won't need to purchase any further tools after purchasing the suite. Everything you need is included in the suite and may be easily coupled with other modules to create new and better solutions. My team also benefits greatly from the assistance provided by the developers. Cons Even though it's wonderful for beginners, it's not industry standard, making it difficult for teams to collaborate. CorelDRAW has a bad reputation for being a bit of a volatile beast. The program will slow down, stall, and in many cases stop working completely if you switch between different tools too quickly.

Pros Lo que mas me gusta de coreldraw son sus herramientas para la edificion de nodos, son super flexibles y faciles de usar. Puedes dibujar o vectrizar cualquier figura con solo un par de trazos con una sola herramienta sin tener que estar saltando de una a otra para completar la edicion. Cons Lo unico que no me gusta del todo en coreldraw es la calibracion del color ya que no suele ser muy exactaye ocaciones me arroja clores con tonos un poco mas oscuros cuando exporto mis diseños a otros formatos.

Cloud & Infrastructure Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Old but still widely used graphics designing software" March 10, 2022 5.0 So far my experience is amazing, I have worked on various graphic designing internships and we made social media posts, flyers, posters, advertisements, and much more with CorelDRAW. Pros Where ever you will go to get your design ready, you will find designers using CorelDRAW. It is the most widely used software for ages. Also, it was the first software that I learned. Nowadays I use Canva also. But still, the extension of CorelDRAW file .cdr is very popular among the market leaders. I love that they have started providing mobile apps as well. Cons I would love to see more precision editing with templates and also a walkthrough should be given. The only con I see as of now is that it should recommend users to use the latest techniques to create elements or artifacts by suggestion based on user metrics that are being collected in the background. Alternatives considered [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Reason for choosing CorelDRAW I choose CorelDRAW over Canva because my printing agency asks me to provide the raw design in .cdr file format, which is not an option with Canva.

Avec ce seul logiciel, je fais tourner mon entreprise. Je peux concevoir des logos, des retouches d'image et réaliser tout ce que je souhaite en format informatique. Pros Un puissant logiciel avec lequel je travail au quotidien, je réalise des projet de gravure au laser grâce à ces nombreuses fonctionnalités. Les dessins vectoriels me permet de réaliser de découpe au laser et de concevoir des logos et aussi des projets de précision sur des supports très petit. Cons La première prise de main est assez compliquée et nécessite beaucoup d'étude du programme pour bien comprendre ses nombreuses fonctionnalités. Review Source Rafael B. Jefe del departamento de Oceanografia Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simply a great and useful graphing program. " March 15, 2018 4.0 In general it has allowed me to represent with excellent quality, the various products for whose development I have used this software. I am currently testing the latest version 2017 and the LiveSketch tool is really sensational as it allows to draw freehand vector curves directly on the screen, being very promising the tests that I have and am doing. Pros What I find most remarkable is its vectorial character, a quality that is very useful especially when the work done has to be enlarged or printed in large size, because if it were based on pixels, the sharpness of the image would be lost on which one worked. Another good feature is that it works based on objects that are independent of each other, and it is also multipage (which significantly differentiates it from similar programs such as Illustrator that is not). Also worth noting is the fact that it is one of the few commercial software that can be installed indiscriminately on a PC, or on a mac (apple) and even under Linux, allowing to save, import and export documents from a wide range of formats such as: Adobe Illustrator , PCT (Macintosh PICT), PSD (Adobe photoShop), etc Cons The basic disadvantage that I find is the same as it applies to any graphic software of vector character: you must have a computer equipped with a powerful and powerful processor that allows you to perform all the calculations necessary to design with this software, a task that becomes a lot slower to the extent that the number of data rises, as more elaborate designs are desired. In particular work with surfaces composed of a large number of points, because they must be characterized with enough detail, and in a number of occasions I had to "filter" the number of data that make up that surface to use the software and get results in a peremptory time On the other hand, it is not compatible with freeware programs such as the inskcape.

I went to an art school and I got a free copy there. After a few years when that software was a bit outdated, I got the latest one. I used some other products and I'll be honest there's not a lot of variation in what this can do for me, but I find this one the easiest to use and for me that makes all the difference. I do a lot of pen and ink stuff, then I use Photoshop for revisions, edits and tweaks; and I'll use CorelDRAW for stylistic tweaks --you know, like vector something. Pros A lot of great features and tools. One reason I tend to go back to this product a lot is because of the different pen tips. I tend to use this with other products like Photoshop, Illustrator and so on, but with that said, I don't use this to it's full capacity. I'm a pen and ink artist, but I do use CorelDRAW for some digital additions or to experiment and for touch ups. I purchased this a while back, but I was able to download this on all my devices and that was great so now I can use it on any device. Definitely my Mac and PC have the most use with this but I use it for light sketches on my iPad too. There's a lot of advanced features here, but I haven't used it extensively. I like that there's a subscription service and a one time purchase too. Cons I don't think there's really any cons. This can be expensive for some. But this is very high quality stuff. I also use Adobe Illustrator and I'd put the two on par. I'd only maybe prefer Illustrator because it's a bit easier for me to work with both Illustrator and Photoshop, but it's very easy to move vector images around here. Inkscape is a free vector imaging program which works incredibly well. I'd honestly suggest tinkering with that if you are just dabbling, but if not, I think this is a decent purchase with no real cons. Of course, this is coming from a person who uses this product a lot but not to its full potential.

Pros Most useful feature is the manipulation of Bezier curves, and the customization possibility which makes it even easier to work with. Cons Sometimes the lines are not properly displayed on the page, there is no filtering applied when zooming out and this causes objects to be displayed incorrectly or completely hidden.

It's intuitive UI helps a lot to create amazing designs. Even my 7th years old son can use it to accomplish his home work to create imaginative pictures. Pros As a coomon user, I use CorelDraw to create amazing designs based on any concepts in my mind. Tutorial parts of the software really helps for newbies instantly design interesting preaentation or printing materials. Cons Pages management in CorelDraw could be an issue since it can't be set orderly especially when working with more than 5 pages. Review Source Tichaona Redemptor R.

Freelancer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Coreldraw is the best graphic designing software." December 20, 2022 5.0 I love CorelDraw, it is not difficult to utilize, saves time and its tools are outstanding. It serves you the best graphic options. It has a ton of formats to look over.Created some T-Shirt brands with it. Pros CorelDRAW is a generally excellent graphic design program; it gives various instruments that make it simple to create designs, alter photographs, make logos, and so on.Generally, the point of interaction is very powerful for CorelDRAW's essential assignments, and the customization choices are all magnificent. Cons However, there is something odd that irritated me: the console easy routes for normal devices are a peculiar blend of QWERTY keys and capability keys (F1, F2, and so on), which makes for some more slow than ordinary instrument exchanging.

GRANDIOSA, soy usuario desde Corel 2, crecí profesionalmente con el, no existe nadie que pueda decir que domina el Corel, porque aun se le esta aprendiendo cuando ya sale la versión siguiente, así de grande es el programa que requiere tiempo para verlo todo, y me gusta, ver cosas nuevas en cada versión, afortunadamente por un lado me a tocado casi en todo lugar de trabajo, usar una PC con Corel por lo que me mantengo actual en su uso, y por el otro lado me toco aprender también el otro programa, para no limitar mis opciones laborales, pero si por mi es, COREL hasta el final, es este el que use el 95% de mi vida laboral hasta ahora. Pros Intuitivo, no se necesita gran cantidad de tiempo para dominarlo, prácticamente todo lo puedes coordinar y hacer desde el programa principal según necesidad. se maneja bien con todos los formatos vectoriales y de mapa de bits, a diferencia de otro por ahí. y es ajustable a cualquier requerimiento, sin obligarte a comprar determinados productos por marca. el programa va a ayudar a resolver, y eso hace. Cons Quisiera decir que le encontré algo así de importancia para quejarme, pero la verdad no. Ya que cualquier incomodidad realmente se supera con practica, siempre es cosas que uno no sabia o no encontraba en el mismo lugar en versiones anteriores. Pero si igual debiera mencionar algo, serian 2 cosillas, mejorar más el IA de Corel Trace para imágenes más complejas que resulten en áreas con degrade en lugar de piezas separadas, y aun no supero que quitaran el Corel r.a.v.e del conjunto de programas de Corel.

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 Review Source TK Tim K. PM Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The easier,cheaper route to desktop design excellence" September 30, 2022 4.0 The competition in the market for desktop design software is very much skewed against the success of corel draw, but it surprisingly has stood the test of time.Most powerful and popular design software really takes alot of time to learn in a useful manner. Coreldraw is the opposite, especially for those of us who have design intersecting with their work, but not neccessarily being their main Job. Team members who learnt with coreldraw rarely used other tools except the rare occassion to make a file suitable for sharing. Pros Once you setup corel, the design environment is straightforward to get started with, and functionality is easy to decipher from the available menus. Cons Because its not the default design software most people use, you have to always be deliberate and considerate of how you manage your design files to be compatible with other software.

Pros The product is very impactful , makes translation of ideas into graphics very satisfying, and its very easy to use soon as you learn a few basics and its very affordable, has lots of features that any designer would love to lay their hands on Cons Well for one, I wish they can have features of mock up images etc like other apps, so that all the designs can be done I'm one place without having to export to another app to finish up on some editing Review Source Liceth P.

Cuenta con una variedad de herramientas que posibilita la creación de productos para la publicidad, el marketing, el arte o elementos de uso personal. Los colores que muestra en pantalla son muy similares a los que se ven en impresión.

The best logo designing software and best for creating any advertisements and brochures. We can create extra ordinary designs in CorelDraw and improve our creativity to next level. Power Clip is best feature and exporting design in almost all format is very good.

Web and Graphic Designer Furniture Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "One of The Essential Software for Graphic Design " July 24, 2019 5.0 I have been using CorelDraw since i started my vocational highschool back around 2009. Currently i am using CorelDraw X7 to help me finish my work as Web and Graphic Designer. It isn't the most updated version but i can still find features or tools that i needed the most. I took Multimedia as my major when i was in highschool. I work a lot in creating vector image, especially for logo making. I work as Graphic Desiner as my side job when i went to college to help me cover up my bills. I work a lot in logo making, banner and flyer design and also some website layout design. I also did some comission art work for souvenirs or gift. Now i am using CorelDraw for building the brand of my company where i work a lot in graphic and visual for website and social media. CorelDraw is a part of my life i would say, if that doesn't sounds too cheesy. But seriously, CorelDraw has helped me in many aspects such as hobby, career and even financial. It is user friendly and challenging your creativity. Pros CorelDraw is one of the most essential software for graphic design. It helps you create many things such as vector illustration, logo, web graphics etc. It is easy to use and came with many advanced tools that you can use to build your professional project or art work. When you open the software to start a new project, it will first give you an option in which kind of graphic you would like to work. Start from the work area or page size, resolution and dimension. It is very important because it is related to the quality of your final project. Once you are in the work area or page, you can can always add a new page for each project but it will saved in one .cdr project file which i find it really convenient. Instead of having a lot of project file, you can have one project file which consist several works. Another thing, there is a hint tab which give you tips and tricks on designing. Cons As a graphic design software, CorelDraw have so many tools which is makes it a little difficult to use if you have never work with any of graphic design software before. But you can always read the manual, watching tutorials or read the hint tab. Even though it has many tools, CorelDraw still lack of photo editing tools or features but i can still use Corel Photo-Paint if ineed to do a photo editing Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Ceo and owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Quality above it all always, that is CorelDRAW!" April 26, 2022 5.0 I can’t complain at all. The quality of my service increased a lot and my design team is working faster and happier. The quality of CorelDRAW is fantastic, even with their minor issues. Pros This software is extremely user friendly, nobody in my team had troubles with it. It has a multi page layout function that helps A LOT when we’re making large reports. High resolution in this software is the default, it’s incredible! It also has the ability to mantain this high resolution exporting into various formats. Cons Sometimes, when exporting to PNG, the archive corrupts somehow, I’ve had 2 transparent files that wasn’t 100% transparent. Everytime that the software upgrades, some things change their place or name, thats a bit cofusing at first, but you get used to it.

It's our Go-To-Tool that meets all our customization needs for designing: - Page Layout - Photo editing - Developing Creatives, Logos, Signage, Designs, Posters, Newsletters, Printing Products, Posters, Advertisements etc. Cons It's very slow and goes into a Hang mode quite often.

Pros Una de las grandes ventajas que encuentro en Corel, que me fascina es el gran espacio para diseñar, que no se limita a solo la hoja de papel, sino que tienes un gran espacio donde uno puede diseñar. También la gran variedad de herramientas con la que cuenta, y la posibilidad de trabajar de manera cómoda con los diseños.
