Overall Satisfaction with CorelDRAW Graphics Suite
Working for a non-profit, we needed a graphic software solution that fit our budget but still had the power to do all that I needed it to do. I am a department of one - and rely heavily on the CorelDraw Graphics Suite to do my job daily - both in my day job AND in my part time job for another non-profit. I use this software for everything from presentation graphics, to the design of flyers, brochures, posters, t-shirts, and more.
Pros
- 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.
Cons
- I would love to see a "select by" option - whether you choose a color, type of line, etc. so that you can tab through select items vs working your way through all of them.
- I would like to see a little more consistency with exporting to PNG. Sometimes it works fine but other times it seems to be hit or miss on a transparent PNG.
- Ease of use.
- Great Price.
- Compatible with other software (ease of export/import).
- Reduced costs - able to print many things in-house.
- Reduced cost for out-of-house printing because we could design to the print shop specs and not have to use their designer.
- Increased efficiency because I can work so much faster in this software!
I feel Corel is just as powerful as the Adobe suite. I started using Corel back when I worked for a government organization that was PC based (and at the time, you couldn't get the Adobe suite on PC). I found that Corel was just as powerful. Over time, you can now get the Adobe Suite for PC but Corel is a better price - which for a non-profit is very important. Of course, I am more comfortable with Corel because I have used it for so many years as well.
