CorelDraw X3 Portable (thinstall) only 33.9mb
The
basics of the CorelDraw interface haven't changed a bit, and that's
good news: Its uncluttered, logical design makes it unusually
approachable for business folks who aren't graphics mavens. Also,
drawing-software newbies will benefit from a new Hints window offering
context-sensitive guidance as you work.
Many of the application's
changes are intelligent tweaks that enhance longstanding tools. For
instance, Fit Text to Path--which lets you perform such tricks as
wrapping a logo around a curve--now allows you to drag type
interactively into the perfect position. More than ever, CorelDraw can
double as a desktop-publishing program, thanks to such text-wrangling
additions as bullets, drop caps, and support for multiple columns.
CorelDraw's
new Smart Fill tool, like Illustrator CS2's Live Paint, is clever
enough to flood a region with color even when that space is actually
the intersection of two overlapping objects. Smart Fill does not match
Live Paint's ability to keep a region filled even when you reshape the
objects that created it, but in many ways it's more practical, since
you can apply both Smart Fill and all of CoreDraw's other effects, such
as blends, bevels, and so on, to the same item. This isn't true of
Illustrator's similar feature.

In
earlier CorelDraw editions, you needed to use a separate utility to
trace bitmapped pictures into line drawings; in X3, tracing is built
into CorelDraw itself. I achieved excellent results with a little
experimentation, though I found this tool unexpectedly persnickety. For
example, the one-click Quick Trace option sometimes ignored large
portions of images.
Although CorelDraw still touts itself as a
suite, its X3 incarnation comes with just one major complementary
application, the Photo-Paint image editor. Photo-Paint's most notable
improvement is the Image Adjustment Lab, an extremely handy tool (also
available within the CorelDraw app itself) that lets you use sliders to
fiddle with attributes such as highlights and shadows, and set aside
multiple variants of an image until you're satisfied.
