CorelDraw 2021 has been released, featuring professional graphic design software CorelDraw Graphics Suite for Mac and Windows. The CorelDraw.app has also been touch-optimised and is available as an iPad app.
“By re-examining users’ workflows and making extensive enhancements across the suite, we’re helping designers take their projects from ideation to final output, faster,” said John Falsetto, senior director of products, graphics and productivity.
Offering vector illustration, layout and typography, photo editing and more, CorelDraw Graphics Suite 2021 simplifies complex workflows. Highlights include:
- Dashboard: The dashboard in both CorelDraw2021 and CorelDraw.app acts as a collaboration hub containing all design files in the cloud, and in a click, displays a preview, the number of comments and team members, and project status.
- Live Comments: Reviewers and approvers can now comment on and annotate a document in CorelDraw.app, with instant feedback appearing in the designer’s working file in the CorelDraw 2021 application on their Windows or Mac system.
- Microsoft Teams Integration:
- Multipage View:
- Pages docker/inspector: Lists all pages in a design with a new thumbnail grid view.
- Multi-asset Export: Create a customised list of assets to export with one click. Simultaneously export the same design element at different sizes, resolutions, and file formats. Send pages or objects to multiple industry-standard formats, including PDF.
- Perspective Drawing: Draw objects or illustrated scenes in perspective, faster and easier than ever. Choose from 1, 2, or 3- point perspective, draw or add an existing group of objects on a shared perspective plane, and move and edit objects freely without losing perspective.
- Enhanced Guidelines and new Snap to Self: Manage custom guidelines and switch views from world scale to page dimensions with one click. Plus, with Snap to Self, move and transform design elements with the new ability to turn snapping behaviours on and off.
Corel Photo-Paint 2021 also has various new features:
- Adjustments docker/inspector: Get instant access to the most critical and frequently used filters to work non-destructively, in real time, and in context. Quickly isolate objects and areas within your images using the new Local Adjustments Mode. Plus, save settings for reuse and customise favourite filters.
- Replace Colours:
- HEIF support: Allows users to take advantage of photos captured on iPhones with High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF) support.
