Users could create designs in CorelDRAW and open them up in SWiSH miniMax 2 to animate them. This was a massive draw for print designers, but CorelDRAW X5 also catered to web designers through the use of a Pixels mode and a web animation tool. Huge time-saving benefits are one of the main reasons CorelDRAW X5 was favored by professional graphic designers for so long.Ī completely revamped and redesigned color management engine allowed for color consistency across platforms, including support for PANTONE color profiles. It let users store content in a digital tray that was synced between CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT, giving them instant access across multiple platforms. It was one of the biggest upgrades in recent years, particularly with the introduction of Corel CONNECT, a built-in content organizer.
The software package included multiple applications: CorelDRAW X5 for vector illustration Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5 for editing and retouching images Corel PowerTRACE X5 for converting bitmaps to vectors Corel CAPTURE X5 for screen capture, and Corel CONNECT.
In February 2010, designers were greeted with a brand new version of Corel’s graphic design software CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5.
