Corel graphics design application supporting 4K.

As a legacy application, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is a completely toolset of graphics editing and manipulation software that work well with illustration, photo touch up and general editing.

The user interface of CorelDRAW is actually still pretty well arranged, with all of the tools represented by icons in a variety of different panels which can be rearranged. In the default setup, the main image editing tools are found in the left-side panel and including selection, geometric shapes, text input, drawing, color selection and some other mouse-controlled editing tools.

In the top portion of the screen, we're welcomed with an Office-like menu with some properties and general options for the current tool selected with the main canvas in the center area.

The drawing tools available with CorelDRAW are actually a pleasure to use. Creating flowing lines is possible, unlike some other paint programs which don't automatically correct jitter. Also worth noting is that drawings with CorelDRAW are created as vector graphics instead of pixels like Adobe Photoshop.

In terms of editing files and saving them, CorelDRAW fully supports all of the mainstream standards such as JPG, PNG, GIF and others including its own CDR format which is a type of vector image file.

CorelDRAW also comes with some neat and useful utilities including Corel CONNECT, Corel PHOTO-PAINT, Corel CAPTURE and Corel PowerTRACE. All tools which help you organize, search, edit, take screen captures and convert bitmaps into vector images.

The program overall is pretty straightforward and easy-to-use, but the online collection of tutorials helps flatten the learning curve.

In conclusion: CorelDRAW is an excellent choice for graphics editing and creation and a great way to create vector graphics and other illustrations.
