Amazon.com Review

The 10th edition of anything is certainly a milestone, and in the software industry, version 10 is seen about as often as a UFO. CorelDRAW 10 marks Corel's foray into the world of software legends. Corel has taken this milestone with grand aplomb, packaging a stellar collection of graphics utilities that will stand the test of time, of course until CorelDRAW 20 is released.

The package consists of two old hats, CorelDRAW and Corel Photo-Paint, updated with new features and a unified interface. Included as well is Corel R.A.V.E, a vector-based animation suite that can create streaming Flash animations for interactive, high-impact Web content. Throw it all together with more fonts, photos, and clip-art than you can shake a digital stick at (over 30,000), and you've got an unbeatable graphics powerhouse that will help you tackle any print or online need.

All three applications in the CorelDRAW 10 suite now share the same interface elements, including toolbars, option palettes, and filters. Tools you use in CorelDRAW are likely to be the same as tools you use in Photo-Paint or R.A.V.E. Techniques you hone in one environment can be instantly applied to another, making it much easier to perform a wider variety of tasks.

CorelDRAW 10 offers unparalleled control over previously daunting tools. Even complex tasks such as extruding a two-dimensional object into three dimensions, or applying mesh-based and multiple-step gradient fills have been streamlined as interactive tools. With R.A.V.E., Corel not only provides a powerful vector-based animation program, but one with a customizable interface and component mechanism that allows the importing and exporting of many formats, including the popular Macromedia Flash movie format. Photo-Paint allows spectacular control over almost any aspect of photo manipulation. In addition to hundreds of templates for family photos, greeting cards, Web pages, and slide shows, Photo-Paint offers friendly and succinct controls for advanced photo-editing tools, such as dust and scratch removal, hue and tint corrections, red-eye reduction, and many incredible high-quality special effects.

Altogether, this suite of applications allows the user to harness the combined power of three stellar programs to create interactive or static art, Web pages, slide shows, printed brochures, photo albums, greeting cards, and much more. The CorelDRAW 10 suite delivers a virtually unbeatable one-two punch of power and usability, further justifying the dozens of awards that Corel has won over the many years they have spent making spectacular software. --Victor Andersen

4.0 out of 5 stars Corel VS. Adobe, November 29, 2000

This review is from: CorelDRAW 10.0 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

I work with Corel Draw since verson 4, and it has steadily improved ever since!

RAVE ----------------------- When I heard about version 10 I was excited and couldn't wait to get it, especially RAVE. Since I work with Flash 4 and 5 and don't like the interface, I had to have a look at RAVE, which produces Flash, and it was suberb! Soomth, simple interface, fast outputs and errorfree exports. Awesome!

Photopaint ---------------------------- I am laso using Photoshop 5 and got rid of Corel's Photopaint earlier this year - why? Because it's not worth it. The quality of Photopaint is so poor and it is totally useless because the grids and the rulers are no help to produce webgraphic slices and mouseOnOver effects. Photoshop is the only program I use to make web graphics and it is perfect! I do not like Photopaint, because the output quality is totally discouraging and the typography is so terrible I once had to throw away all my graphics. I then did the whole work again with Photoshop and it was perfect!

Draw ---------------------- Corel 9 was somewhat my favorite so far, because coming to a useful graphics was very simple, because of the redesign. Corel 10 has a new interface and it is even easier to drop shadows and alter shades and forms.

All in all it is ver ystable and a little faster than 9. If you used Corel 9 intensively and need suberb vector graphics for printing and desktop publishing, go for it. But forget Photopaint. RAVE is definitely an alternative to Macromedia's, thoughit does not offer command-line ActionScript and is not as complex as Macromedia's Flash program, it can produce simple animations easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars CorelDRAW! 10 just rocks!, November 7, 2000

This review is from: CorelDRAW 10.0 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

Corel 10 is the best thing to come along since....well....since Corel 8! :-)

There are a lot of great new features and it's really stable (but still watch out for the patches later on). I especially like the fact that you can publish Flash files and PDF's with ease. And so many people thought that RAVE was going to be an upgrade of the old CorelMOVE, but it's not. They've really created it from the ground up and made a great program for creating animated graphics for the web!

As usual, Corel throws in everything PLUS the kitchen sink. For anyone who is interested in a well-rounded, inexpensive, professional publishing package this is it!! It includes a top-notch vector graphics package (DRAW), a raster (bitmap, photo, etc..) based package (PhotoPaint -- which is as good as Adobe Photoshop), an animated graphics package (RAVE) and a variety of other useful tools for use in image tracing, media management and more.

You would have to spend a couple thousand dollars on other programs to come close to what this suite includes in ONE package! This is a defenite MUST BUY!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars COREL IS THE ONLY TOOL, April 22, 2002

This review is from: CorelDRAW 10.0 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)

......here is the deal. What takes 2 hours in Illustrator/Quark and Photoshop can be done in 10 minutes in CorelDraw. Just because it's capibility enhanced Corel 10 has improved its colour issues in this version and now IS the best overall illustration/layout tool in the business of Graphic Design. It took Adobe and Macromedia 5 years to catch up to the technology...
