Let's not beat around the bush: Most graphic design professionals use the very expensive powerhouse pack of apps known as Adobe Creative Suite (about $1,700 street, 4.5 stars, and our Editors' Choice) for editing images, designing pages, creating new graphics, and building websites. But Adobe  isn't the only option for design professionals, especially those who don't need the whole kit and caboodle. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 ($499 direct; $199 upgrade) is a viable option for anyone who doesn't need the heavy-duty Adobe package, and isn't a Mac user. CorelDRAW is Windows-only. But it has a few new tools and features in this most recent version make it more versatile than ever before.
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6  comprises seven parts, all told. Within the suite, you'll find two major applications—the namesake CorelDRAW, a vector and illustration program, and Photo-Paint for image editing—and a handful of utilities: bitmap converter PowerTrace, site designing tool Website Creator, screen-capture utility Capture, full-screen browser utility Connect, and an export plug-in utility called PhotoZoom Pro 2.

Version 6 brings new features and several spruced-up tools that enable CorelDRAW to be used for new purposes, especially text-heavy designs (light page design, that is) and websites. Perhaps the two most significant changes for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 are that it now supports 64-bit and multi-core machines. However, as mentioned, it's only built for Windows, with no Mac version available, which is a major drawback for many artistic professionals.

Overall Enhancements
Aside from the added support for 64-bit and multi-core machines (which effectively makes the program faster and more responsive), Corel has added a number of new tools for designers, those dealing in both print and online materials. There are hundreds of video tutorials that are very good at showing off what's new while also teaching you tricks and tips.

Across a few of the apps in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is a tray for storing images you may want to use in your work, which has been spruced up nicely for version X6. The tray now includes little checkboxes that let you search Fotolia, Flickr, iStockPhoto, and other online sites, to find images for use. When you find an image, you can drag it to the tray to save it for later. X6 also now supports multiple trays, which appear neatly at the bottom of the screen as tabs. You can name the tabs, letting you organize your searches more effectively. Another great option here is the ability to drop a URL into the search bar and see all the graphics assets that appear on that page. Web designers in particular will find this tool handy.

A few more additions on the Web design side, in Corel Website Creator X6, help non-coders build pages with ease. Dozens of templates and Site Styles remove much of the programming pains of Web design.

What's New in CorelDRAW?
CorelDRAW has a slightly more streamlined look, now that the object docker has been cleaned up to group tools together when appropriate.

A few new features make CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 more multi-functional by turning it into a light page design program, which it hasn't really been before. For example, CorelDRAW now has a page-numbering feature, better abilities to change page layout sizes, a new Lorem Ipsum tool to insert placeholder text, and a button that lets you align and lock text to the baseline grid. These are necessary features for page designers and digital artists anytime they're working on text-heavy designs, such as marketing materials and brochures.

Corel has added more fonts, too, which again increases the value of the product for print designers by a shot.

For artists who are less concerned with text, the vector drawing program includes a few new shaping tools as well that "smear," "twirl," "attract," and "repel," objects or points on lines to transform their shapes. The twirl tool lets you quickly spin an object into something new simply by selecting the object and pressing the mouse. The attract tool pulls together points that you select, while repel does the opposite. The smear tool is surprisingly unsmudgy, creating even and symmetrical contours in whichever direction you pull the shape, rather than adding blurry edges. I can easily imagine graphic designers using these tools to make quick iterations on their artwork, without having to adjust every point by hand. They're quick, produce clean results, and are fun.

My favorite new feature is Color Harmonies, which let you set a color palette, then "spin" it on the color wheel so that all the relationships between colors stay intact while changing the actual output. See the slideshow to get a better look at some of these features.

What's New in Corel Photo-Paint?
The second of the two major apps in Graphics Suite X6, Photo-Paint, has fewer noticeable changes, although one new tool called the smart carver does stand out. The smart carver lets you select an object in an image and remove it, then tighten up the space left behind and patch up the area formerly covered by the object with the right background. It's a real wizard of a tool, but certainly not the first of its kind, similar to Photoshop's "content-aware fill."

The difference with Corel's tool is lets you not only delete an object, but the space taken up by that object as well without otherwise changing the proportions in the rest of the image. It works great if the image you have is too wide or tall for the space you need, and the part of the image you'd like to cut out in the middle.

The Underdog
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 turns Corel's vector art app and image editing tool into programs with much greater functionality. New features upgrade the suite to make it more usable for graphic designers who work in a number of different mediums, including page design and Web design. Because Corel is still an underdog to Adobe, it's rather mind-boggling why the company made Graphics Suite X6 for Windows only, which is a major drawback for many artistic professionals who might otherwise consider using the tool. If you're a dedicated Corel user, X6 adds enough to warrant the upgrade, but if you're looking for a reason to ditch Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X6 isn't it.

The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 is a value leader, providing capable, professional tools for just about any graphics task. The Suite includes CorelDRAW for vector-based drawing and page layout, PHOTO-PAINT for image editing and photo retouching, and several supporting utilities. While Graphics Suite X3 was a significant upgrade, going to X4 from X3 is a more evolutionary step and users will have to decide if the (primarily page layout oriented) new features will impact their workflow significantly. For users of version 12 and earlier, upgrading to X4 is highly recommended.
Description

    CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 is a bundle of applications for illustration, page layout, photo editing, and Web graphics.

    Provides exceptional value for design professionals, business users, teachers, students, and home users.

    Includes CorelDRAW, PHOTO-PAINT, PowerTRACE, CAPTURE, Font Navigator, bar code wizard, and more.

    Includes more than 10,000 pieces of clip art and digital images, 1000 hi-res photos, 1000 fonts, and 80 templates.

Guide Review - CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4
The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite has long been an incredible value, combining two full-featured applications: CorelDRAW for vector-based drawing and page layout, and PHOTO-PAINT for image editing and photo retouching. Supporting utilities include PowerTRACE for bitmap to vector conversions, Bitstream Font Navigator for font management, a screen capture tool, and more. The Suite also offers import/export support for more than 100 file formats and a large collection of clip art, stock photos, fonts, and templates.

The Suite was significantly improved for version X3 with new tools for drawing and image editing, improvements to text handling, and a completely re-worked raster-to-vector conver

sion tool. Version X4 builds on the performance and stability of X3, and introduces a smaller set of enhancements, mostly in the area of page layout and typography.

When Graphics Suite X3 was released, I said the upgrade was a "no brainer." That's still true for users of version 12 and below, but users of version X3 will not see as significant a change in this version. The new features are very welcome and practical, they just might not impact every user in a big way.

As with X3, the Suite includes a printed User Guide, a spiral-bound Digital Content Manual, and quick reference card; plus you get two hours of training videos and the CorelDRAW Handbook: "Insights from the Experts." Simplifying the installation process, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 is now delivered a single DVD which contains the software and bonus content.

Despite its intuitive workspace and impressive versatility, CorelDRAW has been snubbed by some industry professionals, yet it is a very capable design tool. For design pros, small businesses, home users, students, and educators, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4's ease of use and value are extremely tough to beat

During the 1990s CorelDRAW dominated the world of PC-based graphics and design, but the mantle has since passed to Adobe’s Creative Suite. There’s still a strong core of users that value Corel’s more streamlined and affordable approach to design, however, and it’s those people Corel is targeting with this latest release.

With that in mind, it isn’t surprising that there’s little that’s obviously different about the new version. There’s no big interface overhaul, no flash new splash screen and no spangly new look. But under the hood, there’s plenty going on.

The first sign of this is the File | New command, which has been completely overhauled. Instead of simply dumping you on a blank page, it now fires up a dialog in which you can set various parameters, including the document’s eventual destination. Leaving the destination at its print-oriented default gives you a choice of preset page sizes and, crucially, sets the new Primary Colour Mode parameter to CMYK.

Choose the alternative Web destination and CorelDRAW not only sets the Primary Colour Mode to RGB but also switches on its new Pixels preview mode. The big advantage of this is that it lets you see exactly how artwork will be anti-aliased on export, helping you produce crisper results. Another feature that helps you produce better online output is X5’s enhanced Export for Web command. This lets you compare different export settings and manage transparency and colour palettes from a single dialog

The Primary Colour Mode is all you need to think about when managing colour locally, but where accuracy and consistency is crucial throughout your workflow – when producing printed material for commercial use, for example – you need to take colour management seriously.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 colour handling

And with X5, Corel has finally bitten the bullet, offering industry-standard, Adobe-style colour management, instead of the idiosyncratic colour management system of previous versions.

As such, colour management in X5 is now profile-based, which has the important benefit of providing a good idea of what your final colours will look like as you work. This is handled with X5’s new Colour Proof Settings docker, where you can simulate colours onscreen, based on a chosen output profile, such as coated or uncoated print.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 colour profiles

You can also export or print your document based on the current simulation so that your client or boss doesn’t expect colours that the final output medium simply can’t produce.

Format support

It’s not just in terms of colour management that Corel acknowledges Adobe’s dominance. CorelDRAW has always been able to work with a huge range of file formats, and has extended that again here to over 60, but the focus in X5 is on much deeper support for the main Adobe formats.

Alongside new level 3-based PostScript EPS import, CorelDRAW X5 now supports Photoshop CS4 PSD files complete with adjustment layers and masks, and Illustrator CS4 AI files complete with artboards and graduated transparency. The application’s PDF support has also been updated with support for the latest Acrobat 9 format, while the Collect for Output command now defaults to exporting a PDF as a digital master rather than sending the original CDR.
