We will be releasing the second service pack for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5 sometime next week for all 18 languages the product is available in (it will also apply for CorelDRAW Premium Suite X5). SP2 will be a cumulative patch in that it includes all fixes in SP1 as well as Hot-Fix 1. CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT version number with Service Pack 2 will be 15.2.0.661, and Corel CONNECT version number will be 2.0.0.661.

Here is a list of the some of the updates with Service Pack 2 compared to Service Pack 1:

• Stability is improved when you edit curve segments using the Virtual Segment Delete tool, Reduce Nodes and the Fillet/Scallop/Chamfer.
• You can now delete all color styles in a document with one click.
• PANTONE PLUS process and spot color palettes have been included for use in CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT. These palettes are updated versions of the PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM and contain new colors as well as updated Lab, RGB and CMYK equivalent colors. Files created in the GM or SP1 version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5, and previous versions, will continue to use the colors from the older palettes files so they will have the same appearance when opened in SP2. If you are opening an EPS, PDF, PSD or AI file that has a color included in both the old and new palettes, you are prompted to choose which palette you would like to use. You can also set an application preference to use the older or new palettes from Tools>Options>Global>Color.
• The default spot color palette, which is the palette selected on the Palettes tab of the Color docker, can now be set on the Color page of the Tools dialog box if you want to use a different palette than the current default.
• Very large images are no longer down-sampled in the Export dialog boxes
• The RAW libraries were updated to support the following  new camera models as well as A100 images modified by Sony software: Fuji FinePix S200EXR, Fuji FinePix S5100/S5500, Kodak Z981, OLYMPUS E-P2, Panasonic DMC-G1, Panasonic DMC-G2, SONY DSLR-A450, Canon SX20 IS, Samsung EX1, Samsung WB550 and NX10, Casio EX-Z1050, and Fuji HS10/HS11, Canon EOS 550D / Digital Rebel T2i / Kiss Digital X4

All the details about this second service pack will be included with the readme file when made available sometime next week.
