CorelDraw Graphics Suite 12 Description:

CorelDraw Graphics Suite 12 review:
5 stars (CorelDraw Graphics Suite 12) - This is an excellent graphics program which suits my needs well.
5 stars (True Graphic Creation Power) - I've used them all: Illustrator, Corel, Photoshop, Fireworks, MS Word (I know, I know..) Pagemaker; now Indesign. Since the 386 processor i've used these programs. Corel Draw has ALWAYS been easier to use. Yes they ALL have powerful features but for me, Corel Draw has been the vector based graphic program that I like and count on. I primarily use Corel Draw 12 and Photoshop CS. With these two programs you can do everything short of 3D animation.



Theres is no easier way to create a poster or a flyer or a newsletter than Corel Draw!



This program is awesome because it is powerful AND easy to use!



My recommendation: Get Corel 12 and Photoshop CS. You'll thank me!
2 stars (Very bad crash issues and instability problems) - I've been using CorelDRAW and PPT since version 4, and I must say that the latest version, whether it be because of the patch or not, is widly unstable.



For instance, 5 minutes ago I threw together a texture for a 3D model I'd been working on and as soon as I switched to the "Brush" swatch, crashed. The App Recovery Wizard doesn't even work correctly. It hangs and says the same thing each time.



This crash happens often, reguardless of the operation you are doing and only seems to target certain machine setups.



Tech support used to be good, however, they suck now and the sarcasm I've gotten from some of them made me want to punch glass objects.



Please Corel, patch 12 so it works!
