My vote for the Roland Creative Awards

Gerard Metrailler — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:02:00 GMT

I quickly wanted to post a comment regarding a really cool entry from the Roland 2011 Creative Awards who got my vote. Loudmouth Printhouse (the company behind this entry) is an Ottawa, Ontario, Canada based company who uses exclusively CorelDRAW for their creative designs. I actually highlighted their owner a few months back in a blog post.

Here is the link for that specific submission: http://rolandcreativeawards.com/entry-profile/devil-inside/

There are many other cool entries and I would encourage everyone to vote on their favorite one!

Goodbye Mac, hello PC!

Gerard Metrailler — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 07:33:00 GMT

This post was originally written by Chantal MacDonald and published in the official Corel Blog. It is cross-posted here with the authorization of both Chantal MacDonald and Corel Corporation. Find out more posts from Corel Corporation on the Corel Blog.

A Senior Graphic Designer joins the Corel team and learns to embrace the PC life.

Are you a Mac or a PC? I believe this statement is viewed as something much larger than simply computer platforms, it's as personal as asking "Are you right-winged or lefty?" I have always addressed the Mac vs PC debate with an adamant "Mac!" After all, am I not the exact creative individual Mac makes their products for?

I mean, I own a pair of converse, and a hoodie, and if I required glasses they would be the thick-rim, funky kind. I consider myself this forward-thinking individual who eagerly embraces change, but why have I never even questioned changing my computer platform and becoming "multi-platform"? So what happens when a designer who has spent her entire career and university training working with Adobe programs on a Mac enters the world of Corel and uses a PC? I was about to find out...

While the design of Mac computers are beautiful, I was surprised to discover that there are a variety of PC computers to choose from, a variety of ways the systems can be set up for each user, and a variety of software programs and hardware components that can be used with the PC. The image in my mind of the oversize d computer with the bland gray desktop circa 1995 are long gone. There are differences in approach and style, but I now realize that you can get the job done with a Mac or a PC and we can all get along! Really, we can.

After a few weeks of getting acquainted with a PC, I started my position as a Senior Graphic Designer at Corel. Not only was I excited to work for a creative brand, but I have the Corel products to thank for sparking my interest in design when I was a youth. As I took the first step and opened CorelDRAW, a flood of relief came over me as I saw my toolbar with all my tools (even in the same order!) that I was so accustomed to. I proceeded to set up my page and guides with no problems, and then I discovered my layers, swatches, fonts... they were all there! My first thought was to try out the illustration capabilities. The results were the same as Illustrator, but with a few minor differences to get there. If you are making the switch to CorelDRAW, here are a few tips I have learned:

A general Mac to PC tip is that the Control key is your Command key, once you get used to this, most of your shortcuts are the same.
You can change your workspace to resemble Illustrator.
Outlines are called Curves in CorelDRAW .
Gradient is called Fountain.
Your right click will become your best friend.
"Type on a path" is "Fit text to path" in CorelDRAW , and there are actually more options for this function than in Illustrator.
There are no glyphs buttons, they are done using shortcut commands.
You must use guides to set up your bleed and slug.
Keep your view in "Enhanced " to always view your work in high quality.
The "Live Trace" function is called "Trace Bitmap" and is found in your top toolbar.
The pen tool is very similar, however to have more control over your nodes there is a top bar with node options.

After years of wishing Illustrator and InDesign could get together and have a baby that would allow for multiple pages and illustration to coincide, I was shocked to discover CorelDRAW offers that solution! And many others, including bringing different file formats into CorelDRAW .

So for all the creative individuals who fear, as I did, that they will lose the functions of their much-loved graphics software, I encourage you to explore the Corel products. Not only do they compare in form and function, but they are actually more intuitive, cost-efficient and offer you solutions to the issues that have caused you on so many occasions to say "If only I could do this..." There is a world outside Mac, and it ain't so bad.

Have you made the switch to a PC or to Corel products? I would love to hear any tips you may have and I promise to share any I come across in my upcoming posts. Cheers.

List of RAW supported formats with CorelDRAW and PHOTO-PAINT X5 SP3

Gerard Metrailler — Fri, 27 May 2011 18:30:37 GMT

As a follow-up to my post regarding SP3 available soon (it has been released since then), I wanted to follow-up with a full list of the currently supported RAW formats with CorelDRAW, Corel DESIGNER and Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5 (the version that comes with the latest Service Packs released earlier this week – version 15.2.0.686). If your camera isn’t supported, the best solution is to try converting it into DNG format (there is a free converter available) and then import that file into CorelDRAW or Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5.

Next Service pack for X5 coming soon

Gerard Metrailler — Fri, 20 May 2011 15:12:00 GMT

Zooming in and out on a bitmap with transparency no longer crashes the application.
Convert to Bitmap controls on customized toolbars are enabled and disabled correctly.
Changing the page resolution no longer impacts the outline thickness that you specify in the Object Properties docker.
Hovering over un unselected Perfect Shape glyph with the Pick tool no longer crashes the application.
Panose font substitution is displayed correctly for files with missing fonts.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5

The application no longer crashes when you paste captures of your screen (Print Scrn) in new images and use mask tools to create new objects.
Performing Copy, Paste and Combine with Background tasks sequentially no longer crashes the application.
The Replace Color dialog box now correctly displays selected colors.
The application now starts faster when you double-click a .cpt file.
When you flip an object by dragging, its size is maintained.
Using the Channels docker with 48-Bit RGB files no longer crashes the application.
Combining objects using the shortcut key works like the docker or menu command.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 – Limited Edition

Gerard Metrailler — Tue, 17 May 2011 19:02:58 GMT

Earlier today, we announced a limited edition of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5. While stocks last, you can get a great package that combines for a much better price than if you wanted to buy all these separately:

CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite X5 – complete graphics software package

Corel® Painter™ 11 – the world's leading digital art studio

Wacom® Intuos®4 small – professional pen tablet

Fotolia images – 21 royalty-free, high-resolution photos or vector

Regarding the Fotolia images, you actually get to choose the 21 high-resolution images to match your needs / projects, and with Fotolia being integrated in Corel CONNECT (part of X5 and included in this Limited Edition as well), you can find the right content very easily. When it comes to Painter, because this is the full Painter 11 product, you are also eligible to upgrade to the brand new Painter 12 that we announced last week.

This limited quantities offer is available in North America and Europe in multiple languages (sorry for those outside of these regions).

Find out more about the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 Limited Edition at http://www.corel.com/coreldrawle

As a follow-up to my previous post regarding the launch of CorelCAD, I wanted to let you know that Corel will be hosting a free Webinar on May 19th at 11 AM EST (that's 15.00 UTC). Simply register at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/293919320 to learn more about this new product from Corel and get a view into the features such as native .DWG file support, industry-standard CAD features, and 2D and 3D design tools and a lot more.

Make sure to register your trial (link on the download page) so that you get a 30 day serial number to activate all the features (including print, save and export). If you don't, you will still be able to try out the product, but won't be able to save your files.
