The first highlight goes to the big changes in the two main applications of the Corel — CorelDRAW e PHOTO-PAINT - what provide advanced object editing options, including enhancements to the “Faca"and "Forma“. The new version has changes in interface customization and also brings new handling and filtering of fonts. In addition, we also highlight improvements in the tools “Restoration Clone"and "Gaussian Blur lens".

This might sound intimidating to novices, or even most experienced s, but it doesn't have to be. The new interactive startup tours from Corel help to shorten the learning curve as the app guides are now available as ebooks, both in MOBI format, owner of Amazon Kindle, of course aberto ePUB format, compatible with most e-readers.

Unlike its main competitor, the Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW was always PC only, having spent a good part of its 27 years of existence as the only option for this platform. This indisputable advantage is again verified in the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8.

As software is developed with the target environment in mind Windows, it manages to deliver features and benefits similar to those of its competitor, with the advantage of having an interface optimized for this system, which makes it the most popular choice among “PC artists”, especially among those who do not need (or want ) adopt the subscription-based service, which has become the only graphics package option for Adobe, Creative Cloud.

Interface 3i6z6t

The updated interface of CorelDraw Graphics Suite X8 now has for UltraHD monitors (4K), allowing you to view your apps in the highest resolution currently available. New multi-monitor and per-monitor UI scaling allow you to use the graphics package on a variety of high- and low-resolution screens, while optimizing scaling so it looks the same even when facing each other. side.

To this review, I got a monitor Samsung U28D590D with 4 inch 28K screen and placing it next to the FullHD screen of my Asus x550L notebook, I was able to adjust the screens independently using the scale control in: Tools > Options > Workspace > Appearance. The interface of CorelDraw Graphics Suite X8 also remains highly customizable allowing the position change of practically any element of the interface and the change of its colors, being the novelty on of the themes with dark tones.

Tools and Compatibility 6h5d58

smt-coreldraw8-p2O Corel was already compatible with Wacom pen tablets, the novelty brought by the CorelDraw Graphics Suite X8 is that now the new version also s the Windows Real-Time Stylus API, which allows full control of the stroke even using other graphics tablets or pens stylus such as Microsoft Surface Pro 4 ou Surface Book, for example.

For those of us obsessed with fontes (yes, i include myself in that list), a new box dropdown “Source List”, present both in the CorelDRAW how much in PHOTO-PAINT, allows you filter and view specific sources while streamlining the selection process. You can sort fonts by weight checked (bold, regular, mild), length, , or even use key words to find new sources.

smt-coreldraw8-p7O CorelDraw Graphics Suite X8 implements a multitude of new vector drawing features, from letting you hide objects or groups of objects, so that only the ones needed at the moment are shown, with highlights to the improvement in the tool “Faca“, which allows the to split vector objects, groups of objects, bitmaps and text with straight lines, freehand or Bézier.

Another feature that was improved was the selection tool by “It“, which allows clicking and holding the Shift key, you can select adjacent nodes with the “Forma“. In this way, you can copy or cut specific parts of a curve segment and paste it as an object, making it easier to create similar new shapes.

We also highlight a new button, included in the tool's properties bar shading, called "Feather Direction“. This feature helps you create natural looking shadows using gaussian blur.

O PHOTO-PAINT also got its dose of new image manipulation features, like the new tool “Restoration Clone“, which makes it easy to remove unwanted items from photos. entering the menu Adjust>Straighten Image, a slider-based dialog box opens, allowing you to correct perspective and tilt distortions, especially for photos with straight lines and flat surfaces.

The special effect of "gaussian blur” is now available as a spring. This way you can blur images non-destructively. Just remove the lens or deactivate it, and the image returns to its original state. Lenses are created as an object on a different layer, allowing you to edit them independently. It is possible, for example, to use the tool “Rubber” on the lens layer gaussian blur to create a professional camera focus effect on a photo taken with a smartphone.

O Corel FontManager, a standalone app, is a welcome addition and almost worth the upgrade in its own right. It allows you to access online sources do Corel Content Center, as well as those present on your system (installed or not) and use them within the CorelDraw Graphics Suite X8. That means you can have thousands of fonts at your disposal without slowing down your PC. you can still search and view font families and even add collections customized.
