"ADOBE is famous by PS, COREL is based on CD", yes, because everyone must be exposed to PS and belong to AI when making drawings, so the software compatibility is better. Adobe is famous by PS for image processing, while Corel is famous by CD made by vector, which is not as miscellaneous as expert. AI cannot be on an equal footing with CD if it is not based on the advantage of interacting with PS, but in AI 7. Before , CD has more advantages. Some people also say that CD is "software for migrant workers", which is extreme. Each software has its own specialties. Let's look at the "short hair" of these softwares from the following list (transferred from the technical space station). A Simple Comparison of CorelDraw, illustrator and freehand Graphic designers generally use three vector softwares, coreldraw,illustrator and freehand. Let's compare these three softwares: Display: Illustrator is good, coreldraw is good, Freehand is average. Color: illustrator is excellent, coreldraw is good, freehand is average. Speed: illustrator is slow, coreldraw is average and freehand is extremely fast. Operation: illustrator is tedious, coreldraw is convenient and freehand is convenient. Hand-painted: illustrator is poor, coreldraw is good and freehand is excellent. Software size: illustrator is very big, coreldraw is very big, and freehand is very small. Detail function: illustrator is general, coreldraw is excellent, freehand is very good. Typesetting: illustrator is general and has no multi-page function; Coreldraw is good, freehand is good. Bitmap processing method: illustrator is very strong, coreldraw is average, freehand is basically absent. Combination with photoshop: illustrator is excellent, coreldraw is good, freehand is good. Printing: illustrator is good, coreldraw is bad and freehand is good. The vector format of output: illustrator(.ai) is the most common, coreldraw(.cdr) is not common, and freehand(.fh8) is common in several softwares of macromedia. Usage on PC: coreldraw was originally used on PC, which is more popular. Illustrator and freehand were originally used on Macs, which seemed professional. Now, both illustrator and freehand are on the PC, but they are a lot worse, especially Freehand, which is very troublesome in garbled characters and Chinese characters. Therefore, it is best not to use freehand on PC. In this regard, coreldraw naturally does the best. Therefore, if you want to use more illustrations, it is recommended to use illustrator, and freehand and coreldraw are better for hand-drawing and typesetting. Comparison of Corel DRAW, Illustrator and FreeHand If you must ask such a question: What are the characteristics of Corel DRAW, Illustrator and FreeHand? It's hard to say. Corel DRAW is the oldest brother in vector software. It is powerful. It integrates so many software packages that maybe not many people can fully master it. Perhaps because there are too many functions, now new scholars are willing to choose Illustrator and FreeHand, which is easier to get started. In the field of vector drawing at present, Corel DRAW keeps pace with Illustrator and FreeHand, so FreeHand may not have any special advantages in image, but in word processing, FreeHand has obvious advantages. Some people say that "FreeHand's word processing function is comparable to many word processing software", Corel DRAW is comprehensive in all aspects, but it is still not compatible with the formats of related software. Corel DRAW and Photoshop almost belong to the same heavyweight old graphics master, the difference is that one is based on vector processing and the other is based on bitmap processing. But now it seems that people's patience is not as good as before. There are not many people who like to create by themselves from beginning to end, so they are less famous than Photoshop. However, Corel DRAW is not only able to create vectors, but also good at bitmap processing, because it is a software package that integrates various softwares. Main features: 1. Everything is original. Corel DRAW is a vector processing software, which you have painstakingly drawn bit by bit from the beginning. If you like originality, Corel DRAW is your best choice. Its powerful drawing tools and perfect modules are enough to give full play to your creative genius. 2. Corel DRAW is a software with high upgrade frequency. From the initial Corel DRAW5. to Corel DRAW13., which has been upgraded now, even many old players can't figure out what it is. Corel DRAW graphics suite now includes: Corel DRAW (vector drawing), CorelPhoto-Paint (dot matrix image processing), and Corel R.A.V.E (animation). It also comes with several other small softwares, such as Corel CAPTURE, Corel TEXTURE, Corel TRACE, and Corel TEXTURE BATCHER. With so many things tied together, there is a great spirit of "catching all the graphics software in the world". Hehe, as long as you can master these softwares skillfully, you don't have to learn other softwares. Even Photoshop can be avoided? Yes! However, when looking for a job, if you say that you can only draw Corel, the boss will definitely not want you. That's because the boss has no knowledge and doesn't recognize you as a good horse. There are fewer people using such a good software now, but some people who studied design earlier are still keen on Corel DRAW 8., perhaps because the upgrade is too fast, and everyone can't accept it.
