Summary: doesn't export to web formats well
Comment: Try making a button for a web page and exporting it using Coreldraw X3. It's a very frustrating process. The background that should be transparent isn't and neither is the circle shape of the button round. Useless. Does other things well enough but certainly has serious flaws with regard to web graphics. I wonder if I could have bought something better.
Also the Corel website does not allow an open forum for purchasers. Draw your own conclusioms.

Summary: Simply the Best
Comment: Corel Draw is without a doubt the most efficient and best organized graphics package around for creating and editing both vector and bitmap images. Thanks to their exceptionally intuitive and logical user interfaces, one can get up and running with both Corel Draw and Photo Paint programs in record time. The help functions and tutorials are rich and actually give answers to real questions a beginning user may have. The most impressive part of Corel Draw is definitely its' user friendliness despite of being a highly capable graphics editor package which tends to mean complicated and hard to learn.
Before ordering Corel Draw, I actually tried it with a few competing programs like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Corel's Paint Shop Pro. While theoretically very powerful tools for either vector or bitmap graphics, in my evaluation the other three were all way behind Corel Draw. Adobe's (both) learning curve is steep and theoretically powerful functions are so well hidden and poorly arranged that it is very frustrating trying do anything but very basic things. Definitely no productivity there for a beginner. Paint Shop Pro was not that bad, but it is a resource hog and, at least in my computer, turned out to be buggy and crashed regularly.

Summary: Does everything a graphics package should
Comment: I am a University student studying multimedia and website development,and so am being prompted to concentrate on illustrator, photoshop and flash,but I keep reverting to producing my graphics on my old favourite- Coreldraw,and I keep on scoring higher than the rest of them.That`s because I began with Coreldraw8 years ago and have continued to upgrade as time went on.This latest release Coreldraw X3 just gives the designer every imaginable tool to work with.The new powerTRACE in particular really allows so much flexibility in taking a client`s existing,inevitably bitmapped imagery,and presenting it back to them in ways that they never imagined previously.The text capabilities are as versatile as you can imagine,and page layout is easy and yet professional.The increased compatability means that you can export and import work between such a diverse range of products that there are no bounds in terms of print or web,photo or animation that you can`t cross.
This is an easily mastered package that nonetheless produces powerful and versatile results no matter what the area of interest in graphic/photograhic or animation production.
I use a number of packages at the moment but this is and will always be my favourite and preferred package.
