CorelDraw 
2008-05-12
For a business drawing package this one is too complicated. I have to draw
simple diagrams. Trying to memorize a large ICON set along with key board controls does not cut it. I can do more with MS Paint in 20 minutes than Corel Draw in 2 hours. For a graphics designer this may be the right package. But that is not what I'm looking for. The package clearly should not say "Corel Draw" in bold black. It should say "Corel Graphics" or
the words graphics suite in bold. Drawing should be simple. With this
software it is not.

Our office is very happy with the benefits we have gained when using Corel Draw X3 when finishing up our floor plan designs for houses and condos we are working with, it has the proper amount of tools to develop them fast and with excellent quality.
CorelDraw Graphic Suite X3 2008-01-03
I am from Africa, specifically Liberia and have work with graphics (creating logos, ID cards & signs) for over 10yrs now. there's no one program I will compare to CorelDraw. This program is wonderful, it's user friendly. The page layout is just too perfect. It's like you doing the job with your hands on a table in your office; and it's easy to import/export to other applications, something I had serious problem with in the past.
Over the years before I came across this program, I had problems in doing page sitting with very large signs. Lets say: 20' x 40' signs. With graphics added to the mix, your work gets so heavy and huge, you can't work with it anymore. Getting them ready for the printing machines is like building a pyramid. CorelDraw made it so easy with the feature "Print as Tiles" from the "print preview menu". Very huge signs are setup and printed out for layout like a singe page. Corel is by far the best graphic software in it's class, hands down.
highly recommended

GREAT EASE OF USE AND MANY CREATIVE OPTIONS. PACKS A WALLOP! 2007-12-11
There are many creative options with this software. And you don't have to be all that computer savvy to get the hang of it. Their latest feature involves "tracing" objects, graphics, etc. and allowing you to alter these images in a variety of creative ways. The options seem to be endless, and I ams till learning. After taking a hitatus of about 10 years in creative illustration, I decided to downloaded this software. I was creating and submitting art work for a contest almost immediately.
This software does the same thing as other, much higher priced software. It pays to download the trial version (use it free for 15 days)from Corel's website, and see if it works for you. I highly recommend this product.
Great Program! 2007-10-11

I've spent all day putting together a 300 page book in Corel Draw, the file was saved several times without error, the finished piece is 2.6 GB. I exported it as a PDF that is 4.5 GB. Never any errors in Corel Draw.
Acrobat won't open the PDF. Says it's corrupted.
Now when I open the CDR all I get is a single page, and when I right click on the file and look at the properties it says it's 0 pages.
I'm really upset, and now I've wasted an entire day with COREL's software, if the thing is just for 1 or 2 page church brochures COREL should WARN people on the package.
It looks like I'm SOL and I'm guessing Corel will never bother with a reply.
Hint: I think I'll switch to Adobe.
Sincerely,
Waitman Gobble

Great Graphics Product 2007-02-04
I bought this software for the graphics capabilities and my husband is using Photo-Paint to edit our family pictures. This is the first version of CorelDraw I've used and am very pleased with the help features, find them intuitive and the whole package impressive.
