Summary: COREL IS THE ONLY TOOL
Review: ......here is the deal. What takes 2 hours in Illustrator/Quark and Photoshop can be done in 10 minutes in CorelDraw. Just because it's capibility enhanced Corel 10 has improved its colour issues in this version and now IS the best overall illustration/layout tool in the business of Graphic Design. It took Adobe and Macromedia 5 years to catch up to the technology...

Summary: "worst of class"
Review: Again, Corel fails to step up to the plate and provide anything innovative to designers. A lackluster effort on the part of the Canadian software company (do they not talk to their customers???). Stick with CorelDRAW 8.PhotoPaint is throwaway software stuffed in the box so you don't feel too cheated. Go ahead, feel cheated anyway. If you've ever used Photoshop, this poor-man's clone is apt to leave you frustrated and (possibly) violent towards the developers. Hopefully Corel will focus *all* its efforts on DRAW and not on all the silly extras in the box next time.

Summary: Simply Put: The Best Illustration Software
Review: Before using Draw 8, I used Illustrator 8 and Freehand 9. Corel
Draw does everything those programs do but better. I've found that Draw is a much more powerful program than Illustrator and Freehand. I can create graphics faster with Corel and it's INTERACTIVE options are awesome. Corel Draw's GUI is vastly superior to Illustrator and Freehand. You won't go back to Adobe and Macromedia's illustration programs after using Corel Draw. There's really no reason.

Summary: CorelDRAW! 10 just rocks!
Review: Corel 10 is the best thing to come along since....well....since Corel 8! :-) There are a lot of great new features and it's really stable (but still watch out for the patches later on). I especially like the fact that you can publish Flash files and PDF's with ease. And so many people thought that RAVE was going to be an upgrade of the old CorelMOVE, but it's not. They've really created it from the ground up and made a great program for creating animated graphics for the web! As usual, Corel throws in everything PLUS the kitchen sink. For anyone who is interested in a well-rounded, inexpensive, professional publishing package this is it!! It includes a top-notch vector graphics package (DRAW), a raster (bitmap, photo, etc..) based package (PhotoPaint -- which is as good as Adobe Photoshop), an animated graphics package (RAVE) and a variety of other useful tools for use in image tracing, media management and more. You would have to spend a couple thousand dollars on other programs to come close to what this suite includes in ONE package! This is a defenite MUST BUY!!!

Summary: BEWARE!
Review: Corel does not back its product. I have a copy which worked fine. Old story, computer crashed, went to reload Corel, a certain file not available, HOURS spent calling Corel tech help. Three months later still no satisfaction. BUYER BEWARE.

Summary: Corel Draw 10 A step up.
Review: Corel Draw 10 is a step up, above Corel 9. If you need more features you should buy the upgrade or full version. I have used 9 and have upgraded to 10. I am looking for a lot of good programs out of Corel in 2001 - 2002. Keep up the good work, Derek Burney!

Summary: Good upgrade, needs a little polishing
Review: Corel Draw 10 is a substantial upgrade from version 9. The new animated vector graphics tool is the biggest change. The other improvement are more subtle, but really useful. Corel has incorporated many enhancement requests that came up in the newsgroups. Here a few that I found useful: Corel Draw: handles multilingual documents, better color managment (new integrated interface), error warning through pre-flight control before printing, PDF 1.3 output, roll-over effects, real-time preview of formatting changes. PhotoPaint: much enhanced text handling and formatting (esp. at small point sizes), totally re-engineered interactive tools in a modular way allowing for easy installation of additional downloadable plug-ins, zooming and panning in real-time, much better handling of very large bitmap files. The one thing I did not like is the fact that some of the new functions are still somewhat buggy and not always fully reliable. I hope that Corel will quickly release a service pack fixing most of these issues.

Summary: Truly sweet Suite!
Review: CorelDraw 10 is really a "suite" treat, especially for the tools you get and the price it sells for. Being an owner of both Adobe's Pagemaker and Photoshop, the [price] mail-in rebate on CorelDraw 10 made it extra sweet. CorelDraw 10 is extremely powerful and has even better output. The built in preflight is awesome. Animations are extremely easy with Rave, and they output as Flash. Perfect! I have to mention that so far I have enjoyed great compatibility with Photoshop but I'm really liking how Corel's own PhotoPaint works with CorelDraw and especially their KnockOut which I own and love. The CorelDraw 10 suite and KnockOut are making my life (work is life) much easier!

Summary: Unparalleled power -- period.
Review: For experienced and expert CorelDRAW users, version 10 provides true power with huge advantages over applications such as Illustrator (unless you enjoy repetitive tasks). CorelDRAW 10 is a clean release and has been improved with powerusers in mind. PhotoPAINT 10 at least equals Photoshop in its capabilities (for a fraction of the price). And, CorelRAVE is at least as powerful as Flash 5 for 95 percent of current web animation uses. In my estimate, the disgruntled reviewer from Lahaina, HI (below) has a different agenda than simply providing an accurate review of the application. CorelDRAW 10 is simply an outstanding release -- no ifs, ands, or buts.

Summary: I'd say-not bad at all
Review: I really liked it but there are some things that I cannot get. In PSP you can color the image digitally, but here I just can't get how! (please consider the fact that I didn't read the instructions) I really think it's worth it(;
