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

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

For the price, I expected so much more. I returned it.

My son is very pleased.

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.

The install of this item was not good. I had to contact Corel support and waste 10 days to get the CD uninstalled and download from their website, backup my files and system, and edit the registry and so on.

piece of crap and will not credit difference to updgrade - beware this version sucks

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.

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.

Ive been trying to download since 6:30am Saturday morning. Its now Tuesday afternoon and STILL unable to complete installation. The program itself is wonderful. Unfortunately, my old laptop died and my older version of Corel was no longer available, requiring me to purchase a new version. I have over 5 years of data that Im unable to access because theyre completely unhelpful. Beyond frustrated!
