CorelDRAW Graphics Suite users continue to enjoy many 
of the following features that have been cornerstones of 
the suite for years.

Interactive frames: You can efficiently generate mock-
ups and preview layouts by using interactive placeholder 
frames. You can drag content over a PowerClip frame, and 
choose whether to add the content or replace existing 
frame content. With PowerClip frames, you can specify 
centering the content within the frame or scaling the 
content to fit proportionally within the frame. Plus, you 
can create text frames from any closed curve object, and 
you can edit the frame to take on any shape imaginable.

Color harmonies: You can group a document’s color 
styles into a color harmony, which makes it quick and 
easy to produce iterative designs with varying color 
schemes. A color harmony combines two or more color 
styles into a hue-based relationship. You can then modify 
them collectively, altering color composition of your 
artwork in one step.

In addition, you can also create a special type of color 
harmony called a gradient, which consists of one master 
color style and a number of varying shades of that color. 
When you alter the master color, the gradient colors 
automatically adjust to the same degree that the master 
color was altered. This is especially useful when 
outputting multiple color variations of the same design.
