My graphic workflow becomes easier when I starter using CorelDraw. They have all what I needed in one place.

Pros

I like the simplicity of the software. They only focus on more important features.

Cons

They don't integrate with AI. I hope in the future they can put AI features so users can have more flexibility to create anything.

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!

Overall, my experience with CorelDRAW has been positive. The software's versatility and comprehensive set of features have allowed me to tackle a wide range of design projects, from simple illustrations to complex layouts. I appreciate the user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to navigate and use the various tools effectively.

Pros

The versatility of CorelDRAW, seamlessly integrating vector graphics, photo editing, and layout functionalities into one platform, is exceptional.

Cons

While I appreciate CorelDRAW's extensive features, I found its learning curve to be steep, especially when first starting, however it is well worth it.

Reviewed on 29/04/2024

Pros

It has an intuitive interface that facilitates navigation and quick learning. Offers a wide variety of advanced tools and features such as creating illustrations, vector graphics, logos, print designs and much more. Ability to import and export a wide range of file formats.

Cons

Mastering all the tools and features can take time and practice. It is a powerful software that requires a significant amount of system resources. It is less popular compared to other design software.

Pros

I like how CorelDRAW gives you a lot of control over vector editing. It has some powerful tools for illustration and page layout that I use all the time.

Cons

I dislike that the interface can feel a bit clunky sometimes. It's not as intuitive as some other design software I've used.

A decent buy for specific printing based graphic designer

Reviewed on 26/05/2023

Pros

Corel's vector-based nature makes it a good pick for people working in print and media. It is color corrected for printing and does not pixelate when the size is changed.

Cons

It is quite an old-school software, and the learning curve is also very steep. It does not have most of the shortcut functions that its competitors offer, nor does it have the smooth transition between vector and pixel-based designing.

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

Cons

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

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.

I used it for a loooong time. 10 years, maybe more. In one step of my career I needed something more precise, and I switched to Adobe products. Adobe Photoshop is very good and easy for use, Adobe Illustrator is quite heavy for using in compare with CorelDRAW but precised designs are my goal.

Pros

I like that CorelDRAW (and all of Corel PC Suite) is very easy to use. Everything that I need to show I can with this software.

Cons

In some cases (especially with Corel Photopaint but with CorelDRAW too ) I have an issue with precise editing. Exported files not always were in their resolutions (pixel or two in difference)

CorelDraw Review

Reviewed on 09/06/2023

Pros

I find CorelDRAW Graphics Suite to be a powerful vector graphics editor that offers a variety of impactful features. With its dedicated Symmetry feature, I can create symmetrical objects and designs in real-time, saving me valuable time. The software also provides tools like Draw in Perspective, LiveSketch, and Pointillizer, which I find efficient and user-friendly. I appreciate how the workspace is organized and the design and layout functionality is seamlessly integrated, making it easy for me to navigate and use. Additionally, the extensive file compatibility allows me to smoothly transition from other software applications. As a graphic designer, illustrator, and digital artist, I believe CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is an excellent choice, offering both power and intuitive usability for my creative work.

Cons

It doesn't support importing a lot of other types of file especially when they are not saved as .cdr

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.
