User opinions

I have recently been looking into graphic design, I need users oppinions on Corel graphics x3.

I am a co owner in a tradeshow display company, and  have always used graphic designers to create my designs.

I design tradeshow booths for all industries, building mostly. As I said before I have always used graphic designers and would like to do the job from start to finish by myself, taking my creative ideas as well as my partners and being able to do a proper proposel. I also need to do are business web site, and was wondering just how easy it would be for me to teach myself if I bought the software, opposed to doing high priced lengthy course that I don't have the time for as I am running my own company.

Any input would be greatly apreciated.
