Great Graphics for FrontPage!

Now that version 11 of Corel's powerful, popular drawing suite CorelDRAW has taken hold, one might expect the company to phase out CorelDRAW 9. Instead, Corel has recycled its engine into CorelDRAW Essentials, a powerful pair of creation and editing programs available at an attractive, sub-$100 price. The retail package is generous, with two image-editing programs, a fat and friendly instruction manual, tons of clip art, convenient HTML-based documentation, and a pair of Osborne/McGraw-Hill guides in PDF format.

The cornerstone of Essentials is CorelDRAW 9, a robust illustration tool. With its rich interface, users can quickly create simple or complex object-based drawings. The extensive tool set contains everything from simple freehand pens and ellipse tools to a versatile Bézier tool, complex fill tools, a text editor, and more.

For bitmap editing, the package includes Corel PHOTO-PAINT, which on its own would be a commendable program. Its relatively small number of tools (compared to Photoshop Elements and Paint Shop Pro 7) is highly customizable. PHOTO-PAINT's paint tool, for instance, is so adjustable that users can create virtually any kind of brush, sprayer, or other applicator they desire.
