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

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.

My son is very pleased.

This program doesn’t have the basics tools, that allowed you to draw. This version is useless, even for basics projects.

I should have read the reviews but I trusted Corel after purchasing two previous home/ student versions. This thing has only the freehand line option and only one line editing tool. Don’t waste your money on it!

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.

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

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.

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!

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!
