CorelDRAW Graphics Suite

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is a software package for Microsoft Windows, that is produced by Corel Corporation, and consists of a number of graphics programs.

Note: If considering purchasing CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, you might also want to look at Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite which seems to include pretty much everything (everything?) included in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, but also includes a number of additional programs, including the powerful Corel DESIGNER (technical drawing and illustration software) too.

The main items in the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite (as of version X5) are:

CorelDRAW

CorelDRAW is a vector-based drawing and drawing and illustration software. Although vector-based bitmaps can be placed within drawings and manipulated using the program's integration with Corel PhotoPaint.

Unlike some other drawing/illustration programs, CorelDRAW works well with multipage documents, and even includes a print-merge feature, which is useful for producing a series of personalized/customized documents such as uniquely numbered membership cards, invitations with the recipient's name on them, or numbered raffle tickets, etc.

CorelDRAW:
Corel PhotoPaint

Corel PhotoPaint is a very powerful bitmap based photo editing software. It includes tools for both manipulating photos, and for drawing new graphics, and like other high-end photo editing software supports a layer-based approach to editing. The program includes many effects, supports plug-ins that add functionality (including plug-ins originally developed for Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro), and is generally regarded as comparable in power to Adobe Photoshop.

Corel PhotoPaint:
SWiSH miniMAX 2

Software for creating Flash and GIF animations. This is basically a feature reduced version of SWiSH Max.

Some of the other items in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 include:

Corel PowerTRACE - A tool for converting bitmaps to vectors (vectorisation).
Content - including clipart, fonts, high quality photographic images, etc.
Corel CAPTURE - A program for making screenshots.

This is a very useful program, especially for technical authors. It makes it very quick and easy to take screenshots, including images of individual windows, dropdown menus, areas of the screen (including non-rectangular areas), etc.

Corel CAPTURE:
Corel CONNECT - A browser-type tool for searching content (like clipart and fonts) included with the package, or from selected online sources.
