#CORELCAD 2019 REVIEW SOFTWARE#
As users hand draw, their strokes can be rationalized into vector shapes as the software interprets the artists intent. The package also includes Connect for access to stock content and Font Manager.Ĭorel is also introducing LiveSketch, which the company says is the first graphic design tool powered by a neural network. For many users, one of the most attractive elements of the CorelDraw package is the PowerTrace tool, which enables users to convert raster drawings to vector. The CorelDraw bundle include Photo-Paint, a photo editing tool and AfterShot 3 HDR for raw processing. In addition, customers who buy CorelDraw, Windows or Mac, also have access to the CorelDraw.app, a web-based version which gives users the ability to sketch out ideas and work on the Corel content wherever they are and no matter what machine.ĬorelDraw is primarily a vector tool for design, illustration, and page layout, but Corel is famous for putting together a suite of tools that augment the power of Draw and make it considerably more powerful. He said Apple execs were particularly pleased with the functionality Corel added to the Touch Bar.

In addition, Corel has taken some pains to support the MacBook Pro Touch Bar and Metrallier says it’s more than making sure its got all the checkboxes checked. The Mac version of CorelDraw supports macOS features including Mojave Dark Mode. The Mac specific tools include menus, windows and views, fields and labels, and buttons all with the familiar Mac look, feel, and behavior. This time, he says, they’re making sure to take care of all the details and they’ve worked directly with Apple on product development.

Gerard Metrallier, Executive Vice President of global products for Corel, believes the product did not do well in the Mac market when it tried last time because the developers did not make sure it was a Mac native product. At that time, CorelDraw for the Mac didn’t go over with the Mac users, and Corel decided to pull back. Over a decade ago, the company released a Mac version of CorelDraw to accompany Painter, which already had a Mac following. It has tools that work on the Mac including AfterShot for raw processing, Painter for paint effects, ParticleShop for particle effects, PhotoBrush to extend the possibilities of the imaging tools with customizable brushes, and the CorelCAD tool for drafting and design. This isn’t the first time Corel has addressed the Mac market. The year, Corel is making the big leap into Mac and also to mobile.

As Corel has continued to target the technical market, its products CorelDesigner, CorelDraw, and CorelCAD have become interoperable. The company has built suites targeted to a subset of the graphics market where it has a bit of an edge with its products Corel Designer, a tool for technical illustrators and technical writers, which is available as a suite in CorelDraw Technical and CorelCAD. The company has good complementary products for technical writers and artists. The software has found its niche among graphics professionals and also for professionals who may not be adept at graphics tools but have an occasional need to create content. It’s hard to survive for 30 years in the digital world, but again, there’s no environment that’s so ageist as digital technology-that goes for people and technology.Īt 30, CorelDraw is looking pretty good for its age. When software turns 30 the response can be mixed but first of all, celebration is almost always in order. Turning 30 is a time to reassess, to think about the future and maybe have a little bit too much to drink because you’re disappointed in your life so far.
