CorelDraw Graphics Suite X7 encompasses productivity improvements

This release features powerful fill capabilities, high DPI, multi-monitor and touchscreen compatibility, and more ways to share content with other CorelDraw users. In addition, multi-core and native 64-bit support allows users to run multiple applications and process large files.

New features include:

• Workspace Selection: Choose between six pre-set workspaces based on proficiency levels and specific tasks: Lite, Default, Classic, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Advanced Page Layout or Advanced Illustration

• Quick Customisation: Tailor the workspace to reflect any workflow by simply adding or removing dockers, tools and other items

• Fountain Fills: Get better results faster with total control over fills and transparency; create elliptical and rectangular fountain fills, control transparency within the individual colours of a fountain fill, repeat fills within objects and adjust a fill’s angle

• Font Playground: Quickly and easily browse, experiment with and choose fonts

• Multiple Document Interface: Work with and switch between documents, across multiple monitors, in a tabbed view to streamline any project

• Photo-Editing Tools in Photo-Paint: Create images with pressure-sensitive liquid tools (Smear, Attract and Twirl) and camera effects (Bokeh blur, Sepia Toning and Time Machine)

• High DPI Support: Get a consistent appearance across devices with high DPI monitors; the interface is adapted for touchscreen capability, making it compatible with the latest PCs, laptops and tablets

• QR Code Generator: Create customised QR codes that feature colours, images and text; with one click, make sure the QR code is validated for all mobile devices
