I am not familiar with either Corel Draw or the other graphic program (Adobe). I am hoping someone can help me figure out what I need to buy. I am looking for a program that I can use to make lettering and graphic files and send to a cutter. I also want to be able to change bmp files to vector files. I would need to save in .plt format. I would also want to be able to put together a graphic to print and then transfer to a T shirt. I don't understand Corel Draw. Do I have to puchase the program piece by piece? Is Corel Draw Graphic Suite X3 a stand alone product or ?. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Hi, Cracker:
Just wanted to chime in on how great CorelDRAW is compared to Adobe Illustrator (both are vector-based drawing programs with text, layout, and bitmap capabilities as well.)
I learned vector drawing on Illustrator, and then was turned onto CorelDRAW. I have been an advocate ever since. My husband pooh-poohed me for years whenever I would go on about the superiority of DRAW. Finally, after 10 years of working solely with Illustrator, he had to use Corel for a new job. Well, he was converted!
Just wanted to share.
