CorelDraw - Corel Graphic Suit

CorelDraw è un programma software per l'editing di grafica vettoriale e la progettazione, ecc

CorelDraw is a software program for editing vector graphics Vector graphics are created in graphics packages and consist of objects. Each object can be edited separately, meaning that the shape, colour, size and position can be changed. Developed by Ottawa-based software company, Corel, CorelDraw, styled CorelDraw, allows users to to do things like add special effects such as borders to images, in addition to allowing for contrast adjustment, color balancing and more.

Some Common and Useful Tool:

• CorelDraw-Pick Tool: It is actually a select tool and behaves like the Move Tool in Photoshop, to the tool’s bottom right corner, you will find various options like freehand pick and free transform. These options let you resize the image that broadens it or narrow it or even create a mirror image with a mouse.

• CorelDraw-Shape Tool: On the selected image, shape or even text, this tool will give nodes and handles. So once the nodes are selected, that part of the object can be curved into different textures like a smudge, smear, twirl, etc.

• CorelDraw-Crop Tool: As the name suggests, it will help trim the selected image, shape or text. It will also let you cut the image like a knife (divide the shape into different slices that can be separately edited) and even erased (using Eraser).

• CorelDraw-Zoom Tool: Let’s you zoom to any minute part of the shape or text that is being created or edited so that the designer can correct the discrepancies accordingly.

• CorelDraw-Freehand Tool: This tool is where most of the magic happens. This tool has a number of drawing options that let you create and draw any design. So this tool plays a very important role in the first stage of graphic designing.

• CorelDraw-Artistic Media Tool: This tool is like a freehand brush or spray or a pen. So in case, you wish to create Calligraphic Text or Graffiti, this tool will be useful.

• CorelDraw-Rectangle Tool: This tool will help create the shape of a rectangle. It also has an option of 3 point rectangle. This only means a quick rectangle can be created by simply dragging the mouse once two nodes of a rectangle are drawn.

• CorelDraw-Ellipse Tool: This tool lets you create an elliptical shape like a circle. It also helps with quick shape making using 3 points Ellipse like the one in the rectangle tool.

• CorelDraw-Polygon Tool: Basically, the polygon tool is used to create shapes with more than 4 sides. But Corel Draw lets you create a number of readymade shapes like a banner shape, star, spiral shape, arrows, graph paper grid under the same heading.

• CorelDraw-Text Tool: The text tool here will help create text characters and text boxes. You can edit them using the properties and formatting options displayed in the toolbar. You can also directly add a table with this tool in case you need to create text in a tabular form.

• CorelDraw-Drop shadow Tool: This is the effect giving tool. It will bevel, emboss, drop shadow, extrude, etc., any part of the selected shape or the text that is being designed.

• CorelDRAW-Eye Dropper Tool: This is the usual color picker tool. The cool part here is the Attributes Eyedropper. So you can also pick thickness, size and all other effects and attributes of the shape and directly copy it into your shape.

• CorelDraw-Interactive Fill Tool: This is pretty much like a normal fill tool, but options like gradient and all can be applied here, hence the name. This also has a Mesh tool. This tool will create grids around the shape, and then each grid can be colored in case complex coloring or shading is required, for e.g., in a fruit or a scenery painting.

• CorelDraw-Smart Fill Tool: This tool will help fill color in a shape that is a closed path. Very quick to use.

Features of Corel Draw
