I am missing Fotolia in Corel Connect 2017! I work a lot with pictures from Fotolia and I don't want to work with Flickr or iStock!
So why is it gone (just because it is an Adobe Site - that would be really petty-minded)?
How can I get it back in my Connect or is the only way to have it to stay with X8?

Remember that this is not an online customer support service, it's just a forum for user (like you and me). The Corel Team is not monitorizing the forum in order to provide an answer, only some people visit here as a user (and it's a personal answer only, not an official poiton of the company)
RPS said:Ok, Ariel, you're absolutely right. But where is an "official" feedback or support channel? Where else can I get an answer to my question? It is not a question, where an other user could be of help or give me an advice or work around. It is a question about a lack in the software. A function that had been there and was removed without any notice or explanation.

I understand you, but some people could believe that also official Corel facebook pages ae supported by the company. A community manager is not the same than a technical support.

I got my answer from the support:
"Unfortunately, Corel didn't renew an agreement with Fotolia so that's why CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2017 doesn't have Fotolia. Hope this helps."
No - it does not help! So why didn't the just renew the agreement? Doesn't Fotolia offered enough money for implementation of the link or what? Does iStock pay more?
And if Corel don't get a cent for implementing the link...it has been implemented anyway, so no further work had been necessary....
But now it impedes my work!
I will never work with Flickr (struggling with all the different copyrights) or iStock (much to expensive in comparison with Fotolia)
So what will be the end of story? I will stay with X8, as the new "features" of CDR2017 are not interesting for me anyway, and cancel my Premium Membership, as it is not longer needed.
Why is Corel eleminating features without necessity?
