Graphics suite x4 corel draw(Platform:Windows Vista / XP ):
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program:
I started using CorelDRAW on a Mac 512, back in the late ’80s, as an improvement over MacDraw. As the years went by, the reality is that most of the world is on PCs, not Macs. I wasn’t doing enough graphics work to justify a good package, so I made a lot of graphics with Visio, PowerPoint, or (eeeek!) “Paint”. Finally, I moved up to Adobe PhotoShop — What a headache!!! It took a week’s worth of classes to learn how to use the daggone thing!
Remembering how much better CorelDRAW was on the old Macs, I was eager to try this — and I am NOT disappointed! I have been using the PhotoPaint part of this package a lot, and it is – relatively speaking – intuitive to learn and easy to use. Now, no graphics beginner is going to say that — it’s still a complicated package, but for someone with a decent graphics background (though by no means an expert), it’s straightforward. I have used the help file to find things, but once I find them, they are intuitive to use – I need the help file, but not a textbook or a class to teach me what the help file means!
PhotoPaint is POWERFUL, yet fairly direct. A HUGE improvement over Adobe PhotoShop. I would definitely choose Corel over Adobe here. The products are a significant investment, though, so I would weigh how much I’m doing graphics before spending to upgrade to Corel, if I already had PhotoShop. However, for any new “seats”, licenses, computers, etc., I would definitely go Corel.
I also used the CorelDRAW part of the package, and for how I use vector graphics, it may be a little better than Visio or PowerPoint, but not a big difference. I might choose it over the others, but I wouldn’t bother with the expense to upgrade to it.
Note: The Suite also includes “Trace” and “Capture”, but I haven’t used these, so I can’t review them.
