Introduction to Uses of CorelDraw

Coreldraw is vector-based designing software used to create logos, flexes, brochures, invitation cards, and any kind of vector design based on the lining. This very old software was released 29 years ago on 16th January 1989. Corel Corporation developed it, also known as Corel’s Graphic Suite. This works with vector-based images, which edit two-dimensional images such as logos and posters.

 

 

The latest version of CorelDraw was launched on 10th April 2018, with some new features like applying an envelope to bitmaps and adjusting the photo perspective interactively. CorelDraw was developed for Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. They also launched Versions for Mac OS and Mac OS X, but they stopped making further Versions due to poor sales. Corel Corporation also developed Versions for Windows 3.1X, CTOS, and OS2 until Version 5.

Converting from BITMAP to object is a bit complicated work. Still, Corel provides an easier way of doing it as Corel has a good collection of tools through which converting makes it easier.

We just have to the right click on Bitmap and select what we want to do:

  • The quick race command will convert from Bitmap to Vector object.
  • Centerline trace is a command that tries to extract the centreline of your Bitmap and removes the rest.
  • Outline trace is a command that tries to extract the outline of a Bitmap.

5. Using CorelDraw with Other Programs

CorelDraw is designed to work with other software as well. The other software that the Coral Corporation designs is “Coral Photo Paint”, which can be incorporated with Coral Draw. As the Graphics designed can be edited and recreated with Coral Paint. When we save the graphic, it can be saved in other formats compatible with the other software. It can be saved in PNG, CDR, Jpeg, etc. These images saved can be opened in Adobe Illustrator as well. All the saved formats bond with other designers to make alterations in the design on the device in an easier way.

Tips and Tricks on How to Use Corel Draw:

Below are the different tips and tricks to use:

  • Create and save the document: When you first open it, the best thing you should do is u save it on time. To save the document, click File > Save as the file’s name first. Once you save it, press Ctrl + s to save continuously after every interval.
  • Playing with Blends: The Blend tool transforms one object into another through the progression of shapes and colors. This tool is one of the oldest tools and is very useful as well.
  • Using the document Colour Palette: This shows how to use the color palette in a document. In both of the software’s CorelDraw and Corel Photo-Paint, a customized color palette is created on the base for each other.
  • Using Gaussian Blur Lens: This is the special effect used in this software. It allows you to make the images blur without affecting the quality of the images.
  • Use of Pixel View for Web Graphic tool: This tool allows you to edit the graphics, as you can draw in actual pixel units giving much more accurate presentations. Due to this, the design appears enhanced on the web.
  • Using the Polygon tool: As we have discussed before, we can incorporate many shapes to make our design easier. Here in this, we have three tools: The polygon, Pick, and Shape tools.
