Corel Draw Vs Corel Painter?

This may be a dumb question, but what exactly is the difference between Corel Draw and Corel Painter?  I mean, I've seen the same kind of work done in both programs?  How/where do they differentiate in their abilities, if at all?  Would having both be redundant?

I'm trying to decide on one. 

Thanks

  • CorelDraw Graphics Suite includes both Draw and Photo-Paint.  Draw itself is nothing like painter.  Photo-Paint and Painter are closer, but Painter is more of a niche app, geared specifically toward mimicking a paint / brush / canvas / paper environment, and designed to be used with a pen/tablet.  Painter has sophisticated controls for it's niche, but overall Photo-Paint / Draw is a more powerful combination.

    Hope it helps
