“With the new X8 version, we have addressed many of the challenges that professional designers face daily by offering a powerful design environment that is faster and smarter than ever before. From significant additions, such as the new Corel Font Manager, to the greatly improved Knife tool, the entire suite allows users to easily achieve the professional looks and results requested by their clients,” said Gérard Métrailler, Vice President of Products for Graphics & Productivity at Corel. 

Features of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8

• New compatibility and new support:full optimization for Windows 10 allows you to take advantage of the new multi-monitor display with independent resolution, support for 4K and higher monitors, as well as work with Windows Real-Time Stylus compatible pen tablets, such as Microsoft Surface, in addition to Wacom devices and tablets.
• New Corel Font Manager™:allows you to take full control of your ever-expanding font collection and make the most of the characters you already have. Fonts and font types can be quickly explored, managed, and organized. It is the ideal solution for all professions that use fonts daily, from graphic design to publishing and illustration, packaging design, sign making, advertising, and website design.
• Optimized font filtering and search:users will quickly find the font they need without wasting time searching through various folders. For example, by searching for “handwritten font” or a specific character set, the character list will display all fonts on your computer that match your search.
• Optimized Knife tool:allows you to split any object or group of objects, vector images, text, and bitmaps, as well as straight lines, freehand, or Bézier curves. Objects can be overlapped, or you can create a space between the new objects after splitting them. You can choose a contour option or let the application automatically select the option that best preserves the contour’s appearance.
• New user-requested design features:the new Hide Object or Show Object option allows you to manage complex projects with ease. You can copy, paste, or duplicate parts of existing curves with Copy Curve Segments and explore Gaussian Blur to adjust the degree to which the drop shadow fades at the edges. 
• New and optimized photo editing features:the Clone Correction tool allows you to remove imperfections, while the optimized Straighten Image tool allows you to correct perspective distortions.
• New workspace customization:immediate productivity assured, thanks to a workspace suited to your workflow. You can change the colors of desktop and window outlines, select a dark or light user interface that suits your way of working, customize text and icon sizes, and open windows on the desktop in a floating window.
• New learning tools:with a familiar environment offering simple setup, in-product learning resources, an improved floating hint window, and more, you can get started right away. Comprehensive guided tours allow you to discover what’s new, while special tours are dedicated to power users migrating from previous versions of CorelDRAW, Corel® PHOTO-PAINT®, or other graphics applications.
• Optimized sharing and output support:a collection of the latest industry-standard file formats and design features for creating, preparing, and exporting finished products. Expanded compatibility with over 100 formats, including AI, PSD, PDF, JPG, PNG, SVG, DWG, DXF, EPS, TIFF, DOCX, and PPT. The new Border and Grommet dialog box allows you to create a banner from a page or selected objects. Whether you’re working on small-scale projects like logos and web graphics, or larger ones like banners and vehicle wraps, CorelDRAW allows you to achieve your desired final project.
