smitty0312 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Hey guys, thinking about getting Corel Draw, I am pretty comfortable with Inkscape and I am not sure if a new program like Corel draw will help me much, is the learning curve bad? It took me awhile of watching hours of youtube videos and Travis's lessons here to learn Inkscape, but. I thought it might be nice to have my own program like Corel Draw......I guess my question is....is it worth it for me to switch? There are several versions.....$130 - $469....which one is good enough? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullyscroller Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Dan , I'd stick with inkscape and also gimp , both are free and unless it does miracles corel probably isn't worth it. just my 2 cents sully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobscroll Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 My only experience is with Inkscape, I can't say about Corel draw, I'm happy with what I've got also I haven't got the money spare to get Corel draw o.k. Dan, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I use corel paint shop 10 for my pattern making(when I find time). I use this because this is what I learned on. on one of the old forums Arpop had a nice tutorial on how to use it and set it up. I use inkscape for some things, mainly smoothing lines after pattern is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 For pattern making you will probably only use 10% of the features of Corel Draw. It's a lot of dough for patterns. Corel is very powerful, though. But for pattern making, I'd stick with Inkscape and Gimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
