CorelDRAW Essentials 2021 | Graphics Design Software for Occasional Users | Illustration, Layout, and Photo Editing [PC Disc]

My son is very pleased.

Not easy for a beginner to just pick up and learn my be a great program I just bought it to convert to files to svg images so I could carve them on my cnc but its quite complicated program for what I needed so a waste of money for me

I have been using CorelDraw since the mid 90s. This is a stripped down version of the professional version, however, it does the trick. Since I am retired, it works very well. I used it to create a calendar and it came out great. Since you cannot return this, I advise you to understand what you are buying. Enjoy!

Has everything most people need in a drawing program. Got it at a great price!

Got this to trace artwork my daughter made for a t-shirt. There are free vector drawing tools that are as capable. Cant open svg, eps or competitors file formats, but that limitation isnt spelled out clearly in the feature comparisons. Bitmap tracing is not configurable and failed on a simple 3 color graphic. Disappointing.

I upgrades from an older version if corel. The essential version is bare essentials. It limits the type of files you can import and export. Also you cant move seamlessly between draw and paint. You must save the file in one then reopen or import to the other. Paint and draw are two completely separate programs.

I could not open my older Corel Draw files on newer computer, now can. Product arrived on time and met expectations.

Ive been using Corel for many years. Just love it.

I bought this specifically because photo editing was listed in the description. Corel Photo Paint is the companion product that is specifically for that, so I expected to get THAT. Didnt. Corel says its not part of the product. I dont need Corel Draw Essentials. I already have a previous version of it. The photo editing part of the product description is deceptive. So, Im going to have to return the product, reluctantly.

I like to do things with type, such as in circles, added to photos, etc.
