create high-quality vector images from bitmaps
and produces the best trace results yet. In

Create with confidence
CorelDRAW has an undeniable 20-year legacy in
design innovation and has long been trusted by
professional and aspiring designers alike. With
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5, the introduction
of significant new and enhanced features help
you create with confidence.
A collection of new and enhanced drawing tools
includes a B-Spline tool, scalable arrowheads,
enhanced Connector and Dimension tools, and
the new Segment Dimension tool. In addition,
the Mesh Fill tool has been significantly improved
to help you design multi-colored filled objects
with more fluid color transitions.
Use color with certainty
This version of the suite represents a complete
change in approach to color management,
assuring you accurate color representation
regardless of your level of expertise. Whether
you’re importing a client’s mock-up, working
with previous designs, or sending a project to a
print shop or manufacturing facility, you can be
certain that your colors are true.
The new Document (CorelDRAW) and Image
(Corel PHOTO-PAINT) palettes help you to save
project-specific colors and to reuse colors from a
previous project. In addition, eyedroppers have
been added to several color dialog boxes, color
palettes, and color pickers, providing you with
more convenient color sampling opportunities.
Output with ease
With its industry-leading file format compatibility,
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 provides the
flexibility today’s designers need for outputting
their work. The same design may be needed for
Web banners, printed ads or brochures, and
T-shirts, billboards, or digital signs. In addition,
the inclusion of SWiSH miniMax helps you create
Web graphics and animations easier than ever.
