![]() Replace a range of colours in a photo and you get fine control over the range of colour hues that will be affected. ![]() It's easy to select specific objects in CorelDRAW and here the value is that you can change not just one colour but all the related tones at the same time, and use the colour wheel to change the hue, saturation and lightness to get the effect you want in one dialog. In both CorelDRAW and PHOTO-PAINT 2021 you can replace the colours in an image much more easily in CorelDRAW it's an effect, while in PHOTO-PAINT it's an adjustment, but in both tools it's a non-destructive effect with a live preview. The ability to set that up once and get the full set of assets with a single click will save designers a lot of time. If you're creating a logo and you need a PDF and a JPEG image, or you're creating multiple sizes of the same asset to use in different places, you might need to export them over and over again as the design progresses, to take account of last-minute changes. It's also now easier to export multiple assets, because you can set up the options in the new Export Docker. The new Autofit page option is particularly useful here drag the objects you want onto the page and have it automatically expand or shrink to fit them. You can see facing pages the way they'll be printed in a brochure or create a custom layout for a mix of assets (like posters, postcards, business cards and a leaflet). You can also switch into a new Multipage view that puts all your pages on-screen at once in a grid this makes it easier to see how the pages work together, and lets you move objects from one page to another by dragging them. You can work with pages in the Pages Docker as if they were layers or groups (this provides a quick way to insert or reorder pages or navigate by searching page numbers). Pages and photosĪnother common CorelDRAW workflow is creating multiple pages - using it as a simple desktop publishing (DTP) package, for example, or grouping multiple assets and designs for the same campaign. Image: Corelįor normal drawing, it's easier to manage custom guidelines and you can now finally stop objects from snapping to their own snap points to make it easier to move them - if you're nudging an object to align to an object close by, it's frustrating if it keeps snapping back to its own snap points (even though that's sometimes useful). Moving even complex groups of objects onto a perspective grid is very simple. Now designers can create designs and logos and quickly apply them to objects that have the correct 3D perspective to show them in context. This is a huge time saver for tasks that CorelDRAW is often used for, like creating packaging designs and adverts, which clients need to see as if they were on a supermarket shelf or an ad hoarding, even though they'll be printed onto flat surfaces. You can add text, draw with the pen tool or combine perspective with objects drawn on the normal, orthographic plane to get the required look. You pick a perspective grid and either draw the objects you want and have them snap to the right perspective, or import and paste in existing designs and right-click to pick the alignment plane. The new perspective drawing tools make it easy to draw with one point (looking towards the horizon), two-point (good for showing packaging and 3D objects) and three-point (birds-eye) perspective. But whether you want a dramatic birds-eye view or just to have buildings line up with the horizon properly, drawing with the correct 3D perspective has been a very manual task for illustrators, who have had to create the same grids every time, and either draw custom shapes or draw rectangles and then transform them to fit the perspective. ![]() Image-editing tools like Photoshop have had perspective correction tools for some years. For a novice, the interface can be challenging and many of the improvements in this version aim to streamline what were previously complex workflows. CorelDRAW keeps on adding powerful new tools and making existing features easier to use, and experienced users will get a lot out of the product.
