Softpedia Editor's Review for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5
|
Graphic design software for striking visual communication.
Written by Elena Opris on November 7th, 2011
Web designers, 2D or 3D artists, ad specialists, and just about anyone who works in the digital artwork domain use special tools that simplify work and let them create extraordinary products.
One such software that has built its name as being one of the best in the business is from Corel.
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 is an all-improved graphic editor that you can use to design and create compelling logos, ads, and various images for websites and others.
A full installation requires over 6GB of free disk space and a considerable amount of time. Plus, the software uses a lot of CPU and memory, but that's to be expected if you take its size and complexity into consideration.
So, older systems may have serious difficulties running the Graphics Suite.
The complete package includes Corel PhotoPaint, Corel Capture, and a Bitstream Font Navigator.
There is also a guidebook with very helpful hints and tricks, as well as a gallery of artwork. So, if you get stuck trying to figure out something, just watch the video tutorials.
User interface is intuitive and easy to work with. Experienced people will have no trouble keeping up with the Graphics Suite, and beginners will pick up the pace fast.
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 comes with writing tools for several languages, improved color management, and it now supports more file formats, including native Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop files.
Files can be saved as PDF, and you can even insert barcodes.
Images can be adjusted (position, rotation, scale, size, skew, contrast enhancement, brightness, intensity), and various special effects can be added (3D, blur, art strokes, color transform, creative, distort, sharpen).
There are roughly 10,000 clip art and 1,000 high-quality images, as well as 1,000 fonts you can use.
In conclusion, if you are serious about making it big in the graphics departments, then CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 might just be the perfect tool for you.
