Hi
It's probably too early to tell but I was wondering what other people's experience is with 2020 performance so far. Is it Cdr 2019 that actually works. There's a number of features in 2019 that are really useful for my workflow - or would be if the program was reliable. I've largely been working in 2018 all year, its successor being so erratic.
I've been with Coreldraw long enough not to expect it to be 100% stable. I've experienced one crash but that was possibly asking too much of the photorealistic function in Trace. Strictly speaking I'm not much bothered about the new 2020 features (or overly impressed). I'm reluctant to pay out for something that should have been fixed in the previous version but my trial runs out in a few days and I'm not committing any more cash untill I'm sure this version works.
Thanks, Colin
2020 is a half assed service pack 4 with a few added features that are ok at best, there are still very many broken features, way too many to list
The inner shadow is nice, variable fonts, while they maybe needed done are like a high maintenance woman. The AI effects are for me even less attractive. The smart mask in Photo-PAINT is nice. PDF improvements for export are good.
It runs smoother on my system then 2019 but it's a real power house.
Thanks David,. As I said I'm not interested in. or overly impressed by the new features. Interestingly the workplace colour problems I had with 2019 - that you were kind enough to help me with - aren't there with 2020, not with the Trial version anyhow. Mine runs out in 2 days but I think I'll keep an eye on the forum for a while yet before even thinking about buying. Sadly I no longer trust Corel after the last couple of years. They're asking a hell of a lot for what you rightly describe as " a half assed service pack 4 with a few added features that are ok at best".
