Review: CorelDraw X6

Now on its 16th incarnation, CorelDraw X6 has a few shiny new toys to show off. If you are looking for vector and general image control software should you consider it?

Corel has widened its audience by adding in further functionality to it's existing products in the suite and blurred the edges by adding in a website creation tool into the mix.

The package consists of the following applications:

• CorelDraw X6 – Vector illustration package and DTP page layout
• Corel PHOTO-PAINT X6 – Photo editing comparable to PhotoShop
• Corel PowerTrace X6 – Bitmap-to-vector conversion app
• Corel Capture X6 – screen capture app
• Corel Connect X6 – Search tool for finding digital content on your hard drive and sites such as Flickr, Fotolia and iStockPhoto
• PhotoZoom Pro 2 – image enlargement with exporting to Photo-Paint
• Corel Website Creator X6 – Designing and managing websites
