Capture One Pro vs. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite

It is the best tool available to us for our workflow. Able to do most things really well, especially in the area of colour handling/management. It cannot be used for more creative work, such as making montages. Although it can be done, it is not the ideal tool for that.

It is a perfect suite of applications to finish presentations and create beautiful layouts for design. It is very useful both for graphic design and for architecture design when you want to draw a realistic idea of a project without being a rendering or when you need to present both images and vectorial drawings.

• Easy to learn - especially if you have experience with other graphic software. It is fairly intuitive which is helpful.
• Creating high resolution graphics is a breeze with this software - and it has the ability to export into a large variety of formats!
• I am able to import a wide variety of file formats. I have also had success with importing and editing PDF files which has been helpful.

Incentivized

• Perhaps have more AI features, as included in some competitor products
• Although file handling is pretty good, there is a steep learning curve to understand how it works.
• Difficult to understand how to use it and it's features for new people.

Incentivized

• The bitmap edit feature to edit images. The pop out is clunky and with it was a bit more integrated.
• Trace - Would love to see this strengthened. We love to scan in hand drawn things to turn to vector and would love to see the accuracy increased.

Just like any design program or suite, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who doesn't do graphic design professionally. If you're not adept at learning a program or experience, it isn't a program you can just pick up and start using easily. Outside of the learning curve, it's a nice program with a decent user interface.

Overall, CorelDRAW meets all my needs as a researcher and allows me to create beautiful and clear graphics to illustrate the main ideas for publications. It does not lack any functionality for my needs; however, it has some bugs that impact productivity, such as the color drag and drop that sometimes stops working and needs restarting, and crashes, especially when working with large bitmaps.

Much easier and faster to use compared with Photoshop. However Adobe lightroom does provide similar features but isn't as capable with colour management.

Although other softwares are good in there field but CorelDRAW is very good when it come to ease of making the designs. We can create designs in it very quickly and efficiently and also it us Avery easy software to learn, anyone can pick it up at good pace. Also it is more widely used by vendors here for printing, so its a better choice.

• The product has saved significant time through being able to batch process images
• Collaboration has become almost realtime with clients able to view images and select the best ones through setting up an online session. Prior to this images had to be emailed across, this has shaved off days in getting feedback.

Incentivized

• Ease of use reflects on less time to train new users, a positive impact in investment and productivity.
• The practicality to make new designs results in less time needed to do them, again a positive impact.
• The integration with other graphic programs could be better if needed to finish a rendering using the design made in Corel Draw it's needed to export in formats that don't carry all information and the process is not that simple.
