Corel Draw is a vector graphics editor developed and marketed by Corel Corporation of Ottawa, Canada. It is also the name of Corel's Graphics Suite. Its latest version, named X5 (actually version 15), was released in February 2010.
The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite combines three
heavyweight graphics tools--CorelDRAW 11, Photo-Paint 11, and R.A.V.E. 2--which
can be used individually or together. Now in version 11, the CorelDRAW Suite
shows Corel still has plenty of ideas on how to improve the effectiveness and
ease-of-use of these major applications.
For example, in CorelDRAW there are now new
"three-point" tools for drawing rectangles, ellipses, and curves.
With each, you click to fix the first point, stretch out to define an axis or
baseline, and click again to complete the object. The new Polyline tool enables
you to create lines and objects segment by segment, where each segment can be
straight or curved. Pen tool offers a quick way to create Bezier curves.
CorelDRAW 11 introduces Symbols to its repertoire,
too, so you can save and reuse drawing elements in a clip-board-style library. Using
symbols saves considerable file space, which can be particularly important when
drawing Web graphics.
Corel Photo-Paint 11 is to bitmap editing what
CorelDRAW is to vector drawing. In many ways a competitor to Adobe
Photoshop. The new version of Photo-Paint includes more improvements for Web
artists. You can now slice images into a number of small parts to aid
quick downloads and create rollovers for buttons and image maps, so they appear
differently when pointed to or clicked. The program also supports JPEG 2000
files, so you can save your images in this new high-compression format.
The Cut-out masking tool helps extract foreground
images from picture files and create objects from them that you can incorporate
into other pictures. While not as comprehensive as Corel's own stand-alone
KnockOut product, it's a useful tool in its own right. Red-eye removal from
portrait photos can be a nuisance, but the new red-eye removal tool replaces
red pixels with their greyscale equivalents. Various other effects within
Photo-Paint add to its usefulness--things like enhanced lens flare, improved
bevels, and reworked image stitching for panoramic photos.
The third part of the suite is Corel R.A.V.E., a
Macromedia Flash Animation creator. This module now uses a very
similar interface to CorelDRAW and incorporates most of the same tools. It also
offers tools and effects specific to its animation role, such as tweening of
text on a path and of the program's predefined library objects, Perfect Shapes.
Export of graphics to Macromedia Flash has been improved and includes the
ability to export text as text rather than curves, which saves considerable
file space.
