![]() ![]() It does work out a little cheaper than Illustrator but really the main reason to choose CorelDRAW over Illustrator would be if you prefer the interface and workflow. It can easily import Adobe AI and PSD files, so there are no problems with compatibility, and CorelDRAW now has a browser-based app and iPad app too, making it easier to use the program on the go. It adds in new features including dynamic asset management and a faster adjustments docker for photo editing. There's also CorelDRAW standard, which is aimed at enthusiasts rather than professionals. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2021 is available for a one-off payment while the new version requires a subscription. Because the interfaces and approaches are quite different, fans of each tool will argue, with equal vehemence, that theirs is the easiest to use, but there’s no real objective way of settling this.ĬorelDRAW isn't exactly a cheap Illustrator alternative, but it is more flexible in terms of how you can pay because you can get the software in several ways. Both are packed with features and both have their passionate advocates. In fact, it's hard to say whether CorelDRAW or Illustrator is the 'better' tool. Even those with the potential for more and bigger.īut look at Vectorstyler - as the market stands now, it's clearly the cheapest of the feature-rich vector programs at a tolerable price. However, I think it's significantly much better in the macOS edition for M1.First launched in 1989, CorelDRAW is an Illustrator alternative that has a big following among artists and illustrators. ![]() But it's also their limited needs that drag down many small programs. There is clearly money to be made from the many talented hobbyists. That's why we're staying with Adobe, but it's been exciting to look around. We as a company - and ambitious professionals - need somethingthat has mature vector features from top to bottom, and where the algorithms are professional and solid. But I predict it will end up on the back burner once I finish my test creations. ![]() But I can understand that more artistic types are fond of the program. It was a strange experience that Affinity Designer in particular is a completely different program for a completely different audience than what the marketing and website are trying to bluff through. I know that as a company we won't be investing in Serif's programs for commercial use (probably never will), but I'll be keeping an eye on Serif as well, but here I can settle for dropping by annually - without any expectations. I'm personally going to keep an eye on Vectorstyler - it's a pleasure to follow something that evolves significantly from month to month. You have to take a calculated risk sometimes. That's what it's all about as a creative. I'm aware of all the weaknesses and uncertainties of the current program and one-man company, so we don't need that discussion here, thank you, but the program is impressive feature-wise, so in the overall picture assess how important it is to you to get something MADE and DELIVERED. And clearly a genius at vector math. On top of that, bugs are fixed within weeks or few months worst case. ![]() Vectorstyler is absolutely insanely good feature-wise, and the programmer is clearly in a completely different league than Serif's devs. As long as you are not dependent on the program and the program file format itself. But if you are a hobbyist - and I think 98% of you are - I simply can't think of any reason other than money to advise against evaluating and buying Vectorstyler as a companion to Affinity, complementing in workflows blend or perspective, for example. In our professional and commercial evaluation, we did not include Vectorstyler. Better assurance that THE COMPANY is there, but an eternity of waiting and uncertainty about what to expect. Serif also retired an entire product line including file format, and replaced it with a new one, developed at an impressively slow pace with years of delays and feature shortages. I've seen big and small programs disappear, ditto companies, or change terms so that even as a commercial you have to change vendors and software. Never buy software with just one developer.Īs a thumb rule, yes. ![]()
