Corel DRAW X3 Graphic Suite Full Version with Serial Keygen

Transform ideas into professional results with CorelDraw Graphics Suite X3. With this comprehensive graphics suite, you can confidently tackle a wide variety of projects--from logo creation and Web graphics, to multi-page marketing brochures, or eye-catching signs. From new bitmap-to-vector tracing in Corel PowerTrace, new photo-editing features in Photo-Paint, new suite-wide learning tools, and enhancements in illustration and page layout, this suite combines design capabilities, ease-of-use, and affordability.

CorelDraw, the flagship drawing application, plus Corel Photo-Paint X3 for image editing; Corel PowerTrace X3, a vastly improved bitmap-to-raster converter; Corel Capture X3, a screen-capture utility; BitStream Font Navigator; and Pixmantec RawShooter essentials, a RAW format converter for digital photographers. And, as always, three content CDs sweetens the suite with more than 10,000 images and clip art; 1,000 OpenType fonts; 35 Windows Glyph List 4 fonts; and 100 templates. The CDs also contain tutorials and training videos. The sheer breadth of the suite is remarkable, and its power combined with a helpful, beautifully designed interface makes this program appealing to both professional designers and business users who need to touch up a photo or create a quick brochure.

Up-Front Changes
The first thing you'll notice about X3 is the new Hints Panel docked to the right side of the display. Information about the current tool is displayed here, along with links to pertinent tasks. For example, if you select the Text tool, you'll see information about fitting text to a path, adjusting frames, editing text, and more.

The second noticeable change is the orange highlighting on tool buttons and menus. This clever interface addition highlights new features. What's especially ingenious is that you can highlight new features added to versions 9 to 12 as well. If you haven't upgraded CorelDraw since, say, version 10, you can request that new features added since then be highlighted.

Three new dockers appear in X3: Bevel, Filet/Scallop/Chamfer, and Step and Repeat. The Bevel docker is useful for quickly making buttons and 3-D text. It's a little limited, though: Buttons can only have a plain fill. Also new, and much more interesting, is the Filet/Scallop/Chamfer docker -- appropriate for the mechanical drawing crowd. Fillet rounds a corner, Scallop rounds and punches in the corner, and Chamfer clips off the corner.

Other interface enhancements include To Front and To Back of Page and Clone commands, both practical shortcuts missing in earlier versions.

New Draw Goodies
Corel added many other new features to CorelDrawX3, most of which revolve around improving the drawing capabilities of the program. The curious lack of a star-making feature has finally been rectified with not one but two new tools: Star and Complex Star.

Corel also improved the Fit Text to Path tool. In earlier versions, this feature was a bit hit-or-miss, but in X3, control is quite intuitive, thanks to a new context toolbar. You'll also find text easy to reposition with the mouse -- click and draw to smoothly slide the text along the curve, offset it from the curve, or flip it to inside.

There's not much point in whiz-bang tools if your output is inaccurate. X3's beefed-up color support now allows spot colors in such effects as mesh and gradient fills; transparency; and drop shadows. And spot color is now preserved in files exported to EPS, PSD, AI, and PDF files. Importing EPS files is a much more pleasant experience -- you can choose to import the file as editable, with or without text converted to curves. Or you can simply place the files as Encapsulated EPS. I tested this feature with a file that I could only import as encapsulated EPS in CorelDraw Version 12, and sure enough, in X3 the file imported perfectly and was completely editable.

As someone who works almost entirely in a PDF world, I was delighted to see transparency now supported in PDF export. You can also set passwords to make the PDF file more secure, and choose whether EPS files will be displayed in the PDF document. PDF import is much more intelligent and includes an option to import text either as editable or as curves.
