what is corel draw?its advantages & uses?

Answer 1

It is a vector based program that allows you to "draw" your image into the computer. Some very detailed images if you are good enough. see screen shot

Make posters, invitations, anything you can see in print pretty much.

Answer 2

I used corel many years ago before they merged with wordperfect. It was fun as I was able to create certain animation with it. I had no cons about it. But as far as the pros, well just look at the info on their site (below). But once I obtained the full line of macromedia product (flash, illustrator, and many other) now owned by adobe (Great combination by the way) I will never turn back. Adobe has taken me to an all new world. I am an adobe maniac and nothing can pull me away. A much less expensive software and probably a little more user friendly is Ulead. Check out their product as well. (Never as complete as Adobe though) I could do just about every with Ulead photoimpact that I can do with adobe photoshop. I can do it faster and easier. BUT Ulead has proven to be a little more unstable for me from version 9-12 and on three different computers. Adobe, other than using more memory, has never shown to be unstable.

It is a computer programme for you to make illustrations or short publications, but you can also generate fonts, posters, web images, vynil-cutting or sand-blasting files, etc with it.



Take a look at some examples that were done with CorelDraw (click on the thumbnails):

or http://powerclip.ru/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=2228



Besides, CorelDraw comes packed with PhotoPaint, which is a programme equivalent to Adobe's Photoshop, with FontNavigator (for previewing and managing your fonts inside your PC), Capture (for capturing images directly from screen) and a lot of pro fonts in TrueType, OpenType and Type 1 formats.



Advantages over its competence: it's quicker to run, produces smaller-sized files and it's price is almost 50% from that of Adobe.

Answer 4

I used CorelDraw many years ago but I would suggest Adobe Illustrator for really cool design software...
