New CorelDRAW Graphics Suite: A compelling Adobe alternative

By Creative Bloq Staff

Dare to design differently with this all-enhanced design suite – now on Mac and Windows.

When it comes to creative tools, let’s not beat around the bush, many designers choose to harness the power of Adobe’s Creative Cloud apps. But that could all change with the arrival of a compelling alternative: CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2019 (opens in new tab). 

But CorelDRAW isn’t new, right? The software has been around and a popular choice among loyal users for years. But 2019 marks the year CorelDRAW spreads its wings, now offering creatives the freedom and power they’ve never been able to access before from any other creative software provider. 

The new all-enhanced CorelDRAW Graphics Suite offers an affordable, comprehensive suite of tools to meet every artistic need. Now available for macOS (for the first time in almost two decades), CorelDRAW users can experience the freedom to work however they choose – on Windows or Mac – in an intuitive interface developed specifically for the platform of choice. And if that wasn’t enough, the software also boasts a host of powerful new creative features, plus a mobile version, CorelDRAW.app, for busy designers creating on the go.

Want to know more? Let’s take a CorelDRAW 2019’s impressive feature set in more detail.

All the tools you need, all in one place

A comprehensive suite of professional graphics applications, CorelDRAW 2019 puts all your creative tools in one place. Graphic design and layout are combined into one application, and Corel PHOTO-PAINT and Corel Font Manager add photo editing and font organization tools directly into your workflow. 

Here are just a few of the impressive features setting CorelDRAW 2019 ahead of the competition:

  • LiveSketch - This revolutionary drawing tool leverages Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to convert freeform sketches into precise vector art on a touch-enabled device. 
  • Symmetry Drawing mode: Create a range of symmetrical designs, from simple objects to complex kaleidoscopic effects in real time, and boost your productivity by automating what can typically be is usually a very time-consuming workflow.
  • Pointillizer: Generate high-quality vector mosaics from any number of selected vector or bitmap objects with just a few clicks. Inspired by the Pointillism painting technique, it’s great for creating vehicle wraps, window decor projects, and more.
  • Shadow Effects: Manipulate live drop shadows with your cursor using the Drop Shadow tool, eliminating the cumbersome task of repositioning them in a dialog box. Ideal for those working with cutters and plotters, CorelDRAW’s unique Block Shadow feature adds solid vector shadows to objects and text, greatly reducing the number of lines and nodes in shadows.

A native Mac experience

Since the last release in 2001, CorelDRAW has been off the cards for Mac users, being a Windows-only application. But the wait for Mac users is finally over, with CorelDRAW 2019 Graphics Suite now available for macOS (opens in new tab). 

Developed specifically with the Apple user in mind, CorelDRAW 2019 delivers a native Mac design experience, so Mac users can create in a unique environment, built for their favourite platform..

Design anywhere and everywhere

If a Mac version wasn’t enough good news, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2019 users will be excited to learn they can also access CorelDRAW.app – a web app featuring premium capabilities for users on the go. So no matter wherever you are, whenever inspiration strikes you have CorelDRAW at your fingertips. 

Become a creative pro in half the time

Learning new creative software can be daunting, we know. But unlike other apps, CorelDRAW’s Graphics Suite is loaded with intuitive tools, learning materials and sample projects to ensure you can get started easily and be successful sooner. 

Benefit from handy hints while you’re working or try one of the many new creative templates for your brochures, cards, social media designs and more.  You’re never alone when it comes to learning CorelDRAW – and with all these handy tips, you’ll be a pro in no time!

Flexible and affordable

When it comes to offering affordable, flexible software purchasing options, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is the clear winner. Users can subscribe monthly, the cost of which comes in at a fraction of the price of Adobe CC. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite also offers the option to buy a perpetual license, without subscribing – something currently not offered by its Creative Cloud rivals – which is an attractive offering to cash-strapped creatives unable to justify high premiums each month.  

An option you can’t refuse

So, whether you're passionate about pixels, obsessed with flawless output, or in love with layout, in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2019 you’ll find all the professional graphic design tools you need to work faster, smarter, and in more places – including on the go with CorelDRAW.app. 

Design with pinpoint precision thanks to pixel workflow improvements, and enjoy more control over your objects, layers, and pages. Create with confidence with new non-destructive effects, and a wide variety of new high-quality templates that are now easier to navigate. Combine all that with flexible, affordable purchasing options and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2019 (opens in new tab) is a creative software option worth serious consideration.
