CorelDraw

Company / developer:
  Corel Corporation

CorelDraw is arguably the best illustration program on the PC side -- it was one of the first to appear for that platform and has matured with it.

CorelDraw also sports a robust, agile toolbox and a brilliant interface that is totally user-configurable. This review was conducted on the PC, but apart from Mac OS X-specific issues -- and note that version 11 is for Mac OS X only -- comments made about the PC version apply equally to the Mac platform.

CorelDraw's forte is instant live special effects with interactive tools. It's a snap to apply transparency, gradient fills, 3D extrusions, drop shadows, and distortion envelopes on the fly by dragging the mouse over a selected object and then adjusting the effect's position, color, and extent

Built on a foundation of simplicity, Acorn eschews the outmoded “many palettes” design from yesterday’s editors. Acorn presents a fluid new interface that will be familiar to users of Apple’s iLife applications. Designed for simple editing, Acorn features flood fill, gradients, vector shapes, drawing and erasing tools, and more. It also brings a few new tricks to the table, including chaining filters and easy image and canvas resizing.

With plenty of power but zero bloat, Acorn will suit many needs. From quickly adding text to an image to creating a new graphic with pixel-precise control to just sketching out ideas, Acorn is great for all kinds of image editing.
