Hi everyone,
I've decided to take an interesting (and hopefully inviting!) approach to my blog, to make sure I get a chance to reach out and make myself as accessible as possible to the community. So please go ahead and ask me any questions you might have about CorelDRAW Graphics Suite. Now let me manage expectations a bit here :). Even though I'm the Product Manager, the goal isn't to provide technical support (that is best left with our Technical Support team or to the community as a whole) or to offer tips on the best techniques for achieving certain design goals (again, best left to the community as a whole). But that said, I want to give everyone a direct line into Corel for things like product features and trends, target industries, wish-lists, etc. If you're unsure, just ask! I will do my best to either answer your question myself, or chase down the answer from one of the other folks here at Corel. I won't be able to answer every question (we have lawyers and other rules that I need to follow and there is only so much time!), but I will post answers to some of the more popular and interesting questions each week.
To ask me a question, just click the "Contact" link on the right to send me a note.
Thanks!
John

Hi John,
I have a legal copy of designer 10 that I can't use because it required an activation code when I installed it on my new computer. I can't get an activation code because Corel no longer supports Designer 10. Any ideas on how I can get this program activated?

i have corel draw now but i lost the code for it and the nimber to call doesnt work so how can i find out what the code was
nice to see these mentioned. the Advanced Artist tutorials rely on image warping A LOT and Photoshop is utilized as the primary software for precision warping. I also second such a request. professional image retouching needs it. currently my workflow requires Paint Shop Pro X2 for image warping since the warping brush there allows me to do detailed manipulations on a selected layer in the main document window without having to open it into a separate plugin like Photoshop does. it's VERY cool. an implementation of this sort would be fantastic in Photo-Paint.
I also second the Color Range selection. this is particularly good because it generates superior feathering/blending of color transitions. just yesterday i could have used it.
Thirdly- Color Management has to be more streamlined!! Generic Profiles do not cut it and monitor specific profiles should be applied automatically in the color managed workflow. Corel's CM system is very weak when custom profiles are used, in fact it is buggy as heck when custom ICC soft-proofing is exercised.
