Incentivized Helpful? Lochan Kalicharan Freelance Photographer in Information Technology at Self Employed (Medical Practice, 10,001+ employees) Chose Adobe PhotoShop Corel is nowhere close to the power of Photoshop and I have found that Corel will also not let you convert to certain formats correctly without some loss in quality. The color tools are not as robust and the feature set is lacking. I feel that Photoshop overall has a better … Incentivized Helpful? Sam Bean President in Professional Services at Bean Graphics, Inc.

Nicholas De Salvo Chief Executive Officer in Marketing at Edge One Media (Design, 1-10 employees) Chose Adobe PhotoShop I've tried many Photoshop alternatives over the years and generally, nothing stacks up. I sometimes use Canva when I need something created and don't have access to Photoshop. It doesn't do the same kind of heavy lifting, but it works in a pinch. I think that's the real … Incentivized Helpful? Dan Talvi Teaching Assistant at GST BOCES (Primary/Secondary Education, 501-1000 employees) Chose Adobe PhotoShop Photoshop is the standard for graphics editing and manipulation— other software often attempt to emulate what PS can accomplish, but never fully deliver.

Hermann Santamaria Product Manager in Product Management at Washify Services LLC (Computer Hardware, 51-200 employees) Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite Although Inkscape is a free open-source software with many of the tools that you would normally use, and Illustrator is used by most graphic designers, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite offers a simpler-to-use User Interface and tools that make designs faster and easier to accomplish. … Incentivized Helpful? Renny Evertz Representante de Ventas Latinoamérica in Marketing at Oil Flow de Mexico (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite We used PhotoShop to try to retouch and polish the photos, cut shadows, edit brightness, erase errors, and other details sometimes, and used CorelDRAW suites to make the brochures and old material for the marketing department. This program allows you to make designs in a … Incentivized Helpful? jared breslow graphic designer at class act embroidery (Apparel & Fashion, 1-10 employees) Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite I feel like CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is far superior to Illustrator.

Verified User Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is a bit below Adobe, but its ease of use earns it points. Indesign is fantastic when working in vectors and text but we still fall back to Corel for its simplicity in the interface. Incentivized Helpful? Pam Fultz Marketing/Development Coordinator in Marketing at Sidney-Shelby YMCA (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite I feel Corel is just as powerful as the Adobe suite. I started using Corel back when I worked for a government organization that was PC based (and at the time, you couldn't get the Adobe suite on PC). I found that Corel was just as powerful. Over time, you can now get the Adobe … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite We actually do use the Adobe Cloud product line for some editing functions.

Herm Harrison Vice President in Corporate at Foster Transformer Company (Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing, 11-50 employees) Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite CorelDRAW Graphics Suite's most direct competitor has to be the Adobe line of products. Corel stands out in two areas, cost and ownership. First, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite costs a fraction of Adobe. Second, you actually own it rather than renting it.

Stéfano Bellote Engenheiro de desenvolvimento de produtos Jr in Engineering at Electrolux (Consumer Goods, 10,001+ employees) Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite CorelDRAW is a well-suited solution for any graphic design need, and very easy to use, but being used to Illustrator for many years I honestly like the interface better and find myself keen to use it more for almost everything. It's layers and grouping functionality especially … Incentivized Helpful? John La Belle President in Professional Services at Mind's Eye Reprographics, Inc. (Graphic Design, 1-10 employees) Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite I found the version of Illustrator available at the time I started using CorelDraw inferior, though very, very close in functionality.

Incentivized Helpful? Mandy Cramer Graphic Designer in Professional Services at Miss Mandible Designs (Graphic Design, 1-10 employees) Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite If I had to choose between Illustrator or CorelDRAW, I'd probably pick Illustrator because I'm more comfortable and familiar with it.

Verified User Chose CorelDRAW Graphics Suite I've used Adoble Illustrator a little bit when we were first starting out. It was not as intuitive and seemed to take more keystrokes to accomplish tasks.
