![]() ![]() You end up with a terrific mess of files. It makes a ridiculous backup, then it makes backups of backups. For anyone reading this who is not familiar with CorelDraw, this is not an exaggeration. Fast forward a couple decades and that crap is still broken! So, my good friend who uses CorelDraw typically has a folder with File.cdr, Backup of File.cdr, Backup of Backup of File.cdr. The correct answer would have been, yes that's wrong and we will fix it. They tried to explain something to me that was ridiculous. It always saves to the same location as the primary file. It's crazy that Corel still can't get this thing right.ĭecades ago! I called Corel and asked why is it that when I decide that I want that Backup file to always save to a particular location, it never works. If you hover on the palettes and roll the wheel, maybe the palette will scroll or maybe the document will zoom or scroll really fast. Roll the wheel on the mouse and there's no telling what might happen. ![]() Corel's palette system is buggy, ugly, and shareware quality. You either have a full, large/wide column of palettes, or you have two of them! In Illustrator, that 2nd column can be tiny thumbnails which expand to full size palettes, then automatically close themselves when you're done using them. And CorelDraw doesn't have the thumbnail secondary palettes that saves a tremendous amount of space. CorelDraw is exactly the same, but require much more space to get the same amount of information via palettes. It of course has key commands and a really good action system for chaining actions into a single key command. You mention that Illustrator relies on tabbed palettes which is partially true. And CorelDraw is so buggy and unstable that I can't believe I stuck with it for all those years. First, there's no chance of any other software to replace Photoshop. When Adobe went subscription only, my desire to break free went into high gear but I still can't find a way out. Fast forward to today and this hasn't changed. Obviously, I went back to CorelDraw first. In 2007, I started thinking that my dependency on Adobe was unhealthy and I started trying to see if I could replace Adobe software with something else. I spent all of the 90's using CorelDraw and only got serious about Illustrator around 2001. I would definitely dispute this part of what you're saying. ![]() Illustrator is for graphic designers who have time to do 100 clicks for a simple line, I agree that Corel doesn't have so many creative tools, but in illustrator you must fill all your screen with tab groups, little space to see your work, clicks clicks clicks this is illustrator manifest, clicks clicks click, you don't work, you make clicks clicks clicks )))Ĭorel is for workers with precise and clear projects, who respect their time, intuitive interface, right clicks, dynamic toolbars.Ĭorel is for workers with precise and clear projects, who respect their time, intuitive interface, right clicks, dynamic toolbars. I hardly suggest that team in charged of Illustrator to resign.Ĭorel is a holy grail, not so many new features since corel 7 but is enough, even if is buggy, even if I curse them too with every new release and new bugs, it is 2 times better than Illustrator. WTF to do in outdoor industry with less than 6m? How to work with pages in Ilustrator, pffff, they are better without that feature, they can't go over 5799 mm but they can make a similar page next to it?!!! How stupid is that? Try to make thousands of items in Illustrator and you will have an instant crash, or you can't work. And yes, agree with timothy, in engraving, laser cutting, outdoor printing, etc Corel is standard, Illustrator can't even go over 5779.55 mm. In fact, the fastest way to make easy vectors in adobe suite is to shape them in photoshop and export paths, or in indesign, both are easier than illustrator to handle, simple and predictive way. if you have alt pressed both sides are affected, after that you must reshape one of them, or if you click in middle to add a new point, like you do it in photoshop, after you move it remains straight line, again you must make x clicks even if i don't want that stupid point. They don't give you a proper way to shape even a basic stupid line, try to make a straight line curved without modifying the next segment. I never used Photo-Paint, yes, is a joke, a joke compared to Photoshop but I dare to say that is a powerful one, just not enough ergonomics and here we talk about Illustrator which is the vector program from adobe suite, Illustrator is also a joke compared to Corel in vector manipulations. ![]()
