All in
all, this new milestone of Corel Draw 10 is definitely an excellent and
awesome suite of graphic tools. Corel Draw and Corel PhotoPaint are just
getting better adding long awaited enhancements to optimize productivity and
ease users’ work. Corel focused its efforts based on user feedback to bring
graphic designers the tool they need to be more creative. Corel R. A. V. E.
is a new piece of the building that manages to be extremely easy to use while
producing high quality Flash compatible animations even if it features some
restrictions since it is the first release of the software. To my mind Corel
Draw 10 is a major release that really marks Corel’s will to turn the page on
past products. So if you’re a webmaster, graphic designer, or corporate user
who is looking for something really new go ahead and purchase Corel Draw 10!
