Review by Tyson
I’m by no means a Photoshop wizard, but I do have some experience with advanced drawing and photo editing software, such as Paint Shop Pro. Keeping that in mind, I found the software surprisingly easy to use. After some brief trial-and-error, I was already creating some unbelievable effects. The tutorials help even more.
There are a lot of features with CorelDraw that you won’t be able to find with Paint Shop Pro. The Barcode Wizard is not something I have use for at the moment, but is super easy to use and awesome if you have need for it. The Power Trace feature is an awesome tool for creating high quality resolution logo designs (among other things).
Software alone is great. It does tend to make my 2gb RAM huff and puff and lag a bit. I would recommend using it with upgraded hardware if you’re going to be doing any heavy photo editing.
OVERALL: Fantastic beginner-friendly software that allows you to create some jaw-dropping images. It’s very easy to do the basics, but also capable of much more advanced editing. I found the tutorials to be easy to understand and a great help for using new features I had no experience with. As long as your computer has great RAM, I think you’ll really like this software.
