Once you've used CorelDraw, you'll never again use powerpoint. And as an added bonus, it comes with CorelDraw in case you ever need to do any vector or mixed vector/bitmap/text work.

When you are making that first decision, what you want to avoid is spending the time to learn the quirks of crappy software. When you invest your time to learn software, you get good at it and are hesitant to exchange your efficiency for something else. However, based on 1999 versions, photoshop and photopaint are able competetors. I can't speak cogently on the current version's relative strengths and weaknesses, as my knowledge is several versions old.

We also had Canvas and Photoshop as the vector and bitmap software on the office macs. I use this since it was the bitmap editor that came packaged with CorelDraw, which I used for work from V5 to 8. I think I may go with PP 9 along with PS LE that came with my G3.ĭo you know if PP supports an equivalent to PS actions? Machine simply so i have access to the curves function. You need the curves function fromĮach installed to properly use curves, as the PS and the PP

In some cases, the PP options are better and more

It is my default editor, and is the equal of PS at many things, but And finally, what version of PP are you using? If more recent than v9, can you compare the two? Does PP support the equivalent of PS actions? A possible solution for me might be PP along with either PS LE or Elements. You say that PP is the equal of PS at many things, and that PS is better in some ways.is PP better in any way? Can you compare the two for ease of use and common/not-so-common features missing from one or the other? From quickly playing around with PP, I think I noticed that adjusting levels is easier on PS.though in all fairness, the pic I was editing was the most difficult I've tried so far (I've only had my first DC for just under two weeks now).
