Photo renderings

I am required to produce before and after renderings of photographs that will show, for example, a building before and after new corporate colors, graphics, signs, and logos have been installed thereby transforming the building to the required new image. The company requiring the renderings has supplied me with the AI drawings I am to use to produce the photo renderings. I am brand new to any type of graphic design work. What Corel program is best for this type of work? Can Corel import and use Adobe illustrator files?
