CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X7nIve been using CorelDraw for about 20 years now, maybe longer, and the thing thats always made it my digital graphics and photo editing software of choice is that it gives you the most bang for your buck. That hasn’t changed, and the software has only gotten better over the years. There are, however, a few things Im not exactly happy about when it comes to CorelDraw X7.

First, a little bit about me. I’m a writer, and although my spelling and typing are pretty good, I’ve been using Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium for the PC for years. It reads back what I wrote, which helps me catch typos and repeated words that my eyes alone might miss. Over the years, it’s gotten better and better. My dyslexic husband, though, prefers to work on our Mac, and he prefers to have me handle his editing needs.

I started installing this program. Then I got an error message. This program isn’t compatible with the latest version of QuickTime. In order to run it, I would need to delete the latest version in order to upload an older version of QuickTime that is compatible. Really? Why on earth would I want to switch an improved version of QuickTime for an older one?nnThis is old out-dated software. I’m sure most kids would prefer to use an animation app on their Android or Apple devices, and those range in price from five dollars to free.

This video editing program is okay, although it could be easier to learn. It loaded okay on my computer, but slowed it down. It’s not the fanciest thing, and it’s a little tough to figure out. I guess it’s okay for the price.

It takes a while to get the hang of creating animation with Anime Studio, but once you do learn it, it does provide a fairly quick way to produce very basic but smooth animation. The learning curve is frustrating, though. I’ve studied digital animation, but the approach here is a bit different. Characters are built on skeletons, and you have to determine how flexible you want joints to be. That took some getting used to.
