 Rating:  - Essentials 2 works great for meI am an experienced CorelDraw user who needed a budget version at work. I found that CorelDraw Essentials 2 is an excellent little program that delivers all the important functions of its bigger sister. I use it for posters and technical drawing. If you like CorelDraw, you'll like Essentials 2. If you want to get to know CorelDraw before committing to the full price, Essentials 2 is a great intro to the basics -- especially with the training CD. I've heard that CorelDraw takes some effort ... Read More Rating:  - I Wish I Had My Money BackEven for the $50 or whatever I spent on this, this is by far the worst graphics program I've ever used. Utterly counterintuitive, it also does random things during export that I don't care to figure out how to fix. Ugh. CorelDRAW, you deserve to go out of business for releasing such a poor product.

The Original Essentials Version is better than version 2 I have been using Corel Essentials, the white with horizontal blue green box (original version) for quite some time, I decide to upgrade to the "newest version 2". So, I fork out $80 plus shipping. Got it 5 days later; I installed the software, all looks good... then I start using it, standard features from version one are GONE! There are no upgrade gimmicks or download this or that, they were just simply removed - my most used features! Unacceptable, I contacted customer support, they were ... Read More |
