Course description

CorelDRAW is primarily known as a vector graphics editor. This means it creates images using mathematical equations (points, lines, curves, and shapes) rather than pixels. The main advantage of vector graphics is that they are resolution-independent, meaning you can scale them to any size without losing quality or becoming pixelated.

The CorelDRAW Graphics Suite often includes other related programs, such as:

  • Corel PHOTO-PAINT: A bitmap-image editor (for working with photos and pixel-based images) that integrates seamlessly with CorelDRAW.

  • Corel Font Manager: A tool for organizing and managing your font library.

  • CAPTURE: A screen capture tool (Windows only).

  • Corel DRAW .app (Web): A browser-based version for designing on the go and collaborating.
