![]() ![]() The CDs also contain tutorials and training videos. And, as always, three content CDs sweetens the suite with more than 10,000 images and clip art 1,000 OpenType fonts 35 Windows Glyph List 4 fonts and 100 templates. This Windows-only version ($399 list, $179 upgrade) includes CorelDraw, the flagship drawing application, plus Corel Photo-Paint X3 for image editing Corel PowerTrace X3, a vastly improved bitmap-to-raster converter Corel Capture X3, a screen-capture utility BitStream Font Navigator and Pixmantec RawShooter essentials, a RAW format converter for digital photographers. CorelDraw Graphics Suite X3 breaks from the traditional software version numbering system but continues the tradition of offering unique, innovative solutions to graphics professionals. It was a revolutionary product then, and it’s only gotten better with each iteration. You can also now sync CONNECT trays to Microsoft’s OneDrive, making them available to multiple systems.I installed my first copy of CorelDraw 20 years ago. In addition, the full X7 suite includes utilities for managing fonts, screen captures, barcodes and duplex printing, and a standalone version of CorelCONNECT (also integrated within CorelDRAW and Corel Photo-Paint).ĬorelCONNECT X7 provides searchable access to online content from Fotolia and Flickr as well as more than 10,000 clipart items, 2,000 photos, 1,200 photo objects, 1,000 fonts and 600 design templates via Corel’s own Content Exchange. New effects include bokeh blurs, sepia toning, planar masks, a non-destructive unsharp mask and the popular Time Machine effect from PaintShop Pro, which applies a range of historical photo effects. You can also interactively control transparency and feathering as you paint, and apply distortion effects using four new Liquid Smear tools. You can also instantly save transparency effects as a reusable style, and the Object Styles docker now shows a preview of all styles before you apply them.ĭedicated additions include a Painter-style brush selector that gives access to the last five brushes you’ve used. ![]() Even more useful is the ability to manage not only fills from the Object Properties docker but transparency too, complete with the option to apply transparency effects to an object’s fill, outline or both. To round out its new formatting capabilities, CorelDRAW X7 adds a new Edit Fill command, which brings all fill types – including the now downgraded fractal textures and postscript patterns – under a single, central dialog. To encourage this, it’s now much easier to create new patterns directly from the Object Properties dialog, and when you do you’re given the option of uploading your file for others to use.įurther encouragement to create and share your fills comes from community-based features such as voting for your favourite fills, and a new iOS app that lets you turn photos into seamless tiles that you can upload to the Content Exchange in Corel’s new FILL format. The downside of this online handling is that there can be delays as thumbnails are updated and fills downloaded, but the benefit should become apparent over time through community sharing. Significantly, these pattern fills are now made available via the cloud through Corel’s new Content Exchange. ![]()
