Customer Reviews:

awesome possibilities [Posted on 2008-06-19]
i had to run this on my newer computer. runs on a lot of memory. used it for comic book creating applications and photographs. really has a lot of great and creative uses. never had a program like this before and really don't know how i got along without it. it was a little intimidatig at first. still getting to learn my way around it. love it.

Over my head [Posted on 2008-06-24]
I ordered this product with the idea of becoming a graphics wizard. In retrospect, that wasn't such a great idea.

This is a fantastic product, with more bells and whistles than you could find in Santa's toy shop, but it's way over my head. Perhaps someday...

Exciting Graphics Program [Posted on 2008-06-26]
I just received this software a few days ago and installed it, so I'm still going through it learning how to use it. But the photo editing software is pretty cool. I think it's better than paint. The features are definately easier to use and the book that comes along with it helps you out if you get stuck along the way.

Again, I just received it a few days ago, so I'm still going through it learning how to use it. But the program I've used first was Photo-Paint. What you can do with a photo is pretty amazing.

I cannot wait to see what else I can do with the other components of this graphics suite. Pretty impressed so far.

LOVE IT [Posted on 2008-07-10]
CorelDraw Graphics Suite x4 is a great program. I'm no techie, but it is easy to use. I use it for banners, manipulating pictures, or creating drawings. The possibilities seem to be endless, but again, I'm no techie. I would suggest this program for those who are interested in graphic design. This may even be better than photoshop!

Complete, with some advantages for photo manipulation [Posted on 2008-07-17]
I'm going to do a short review here and say that Corel has some advantages over Photoshop for photomanipulation or editing. Where Photoshop Elements (a fine piece of software) has you estimate or use your monitor and judgment for fixing photos, CorelDraw's Photo suite has an Integrated Image Adjustment Lab --and it tells you how you are going to affect the data on a RAW image, losing image quality by various adjustments. Instead of eyeballing what you are doing, you can retain maximum detail in highlights and shadows using their sliders and suggestions. When you exceed the limits and start to lose detail, an exclamation point crops up on the slider, showing you that you have degraded the photo quality. This is probably the best photo editing software I've used for that reason.

While I like the competing PhotoShop Elements for ease of use and the fun effect, CorelDraw has more professional features and the interface for photoediting is full of information yet easy to use. Big thumbs up.
