If it is CorelDRAW Version 12. Try playing with the 'Colour Management' option under the 'Tools' Menu. At the bottom left corner there are some preset styles to choose from. Try changing it to Optimized for Professional Output or Optimized for the Web.
More Info In Corel Draw go to menus:- W indow - Color Palettes - Default RGB Palette. Now a color palette will open then you can set it in right or top of Corel draw window. And now fill colors in your objects from that RGB Window. It will be fix to RGB Colors. I hope you will enjoy with RGB Colors.
Discussions of Corel Draw. Forum is an online discussion forum where youth or even the experienced professionals discuss their queries related to and get answers for their questions from other talented individuals. What is Corel DB? Is WordPerfect free? Can I install CorelDRAW x8 on two computers? Is CorelDRAW compatible with Mac? What is Corel Office? What programs can open Corel Draw files? What can you do with Corel Draw? Who owns CorelDRAW? Why do we use Corel Draw? Is vector or raster better? What is the difference between Photoshop and Corel Draw?
Ncorel draw is a vector based program used to make vector art. Adobes answer to corel draw is Adobe Illustrator. Corel is an older program, although still being produced, but not widely used because Adobe packages their programs. NAdobe Photoshop is a pixel based program that uses small squa res of color to make a picture. This is called the DPI (dots per inch).
Vector programs dont work in DPI. NDifference: You can make a vector art file as large as you want. A block of color is a block of color. You can take a 1 in by 1 in square and scale it to 1 ft by 1 ft and it will look exactly the same.
In photoshop if you create a 1 in by 1 in square and scale it to 1 ft by 1 ft you get pixelation. NMost logos are created as vector formats so they can be scaled to be small like a business card or large like on a billboard with no pixelation. You couldn't do that with a file created in photoshop. NBiggest difference is artistic control.
All the creative affects you see are done in photoshop. Corel doesnt have affects. But when you combine the powers of both you can have a nice looking billboard with a huge logo. Nhope this helps. CorelDRAW is a vector drawing illustration application, while Photoshop is a raster (or bitmap) image editing and painting application.
Vector drawing uses mathematical equations (inside the program, the user doesn't have to worry about the math) to define the lines, curves, angles, etc. Of a lin e drawing or collage style image. Raster or Bitmap images define the color properties of each individual pixel of an image, for pictures more like paintings or photographs.
Vector drawings can be less 'realistic' looking and more illustrative. Vector drawing is ideal for line drawings, logos, diagrams, plans, charts, maps, and so on. Due to their mathematical properties, vector drawings also scale without loss or distortion, while bitmap images become distorted (pixelated, jaggy) if they are enlarged or reduced (much).
Actually the longer I think about the question, the less clear the answer become to me. Sure, both are mainly vector based graphic programms, with InDesign focusing on typography and layout and Illustrator focusing on everything else?
I have been working for years with both programs and I know that there is a fundamental difference in the philosophy behind both programs, despite both focusing on vector graphics, yet I can’t really put my finger on it. What I want to say: Maybe the question, isn’t as stupid as it may apear at first, once you look beyond the most obvious answer. – Jul 1 '15 at 14:09. As per the: InDesign is a page layout tool. The program allows you to collect graphical (raster and vector) and textual content into a layout, enabling easy multi-page processing and powerful exporting options for both print and digital purposes. And I feel like an Adobe salesman now.
InDesign has powerful tools for easy workflows laying out large amounts of content over multiple pages in a publication. Its text handling tools far outshine those of Photoshop and Illustrator. Since it doesn't embed raster or vector files into its native file, it allows you to use preliminary versions and refresh those with the finals at a later time. The main difference with Illustrator is that Illustrator is optimised for the creation of vector shapes and, well, illustrations, while InDesign has very limited vector tools but excels at multiple-page layout and handling text. Illustrator makes you a logo, poster, flyer or maybe folder. InDesign makes you a leaflet or a book.
You're right that Corel Draw is like Illustrator. InDesign is for larger, sometimes much larger publications and when combined with other Adobe applications is incredibly robust. A few key features that InDesign provides. I've never used Corel Draw so this is compared to Illustrator but did glance online to see which of these Corel Draw offers and believe my list is accurate.
Anyone with additional Corel Draw knowledge is welcome to edit. (CorelDraw has these but Illustrator doesn't). (CorelDraw has these but Illustrator doesn't.). The ability to and keep things organized. to give to a printing press. (comes with Creative Cloud and gives writers / editors ability to make simple changes without breaking things) There's probably more but these are some of the main ones that come to my mind that make InDesign the program of choice for publishing and differentiate it from a Vector Based Illustration program. On the other hand there are limits.
InDesign doesn't do a very good job with Masking for example, only has basic vector tools, no real Photo tools such as Levels and Curves, and lots of other weaknesses. For the vector illustration and logo stuff you'll continue using Corel Draw (or switch to Illustrator as you mentioned) but for layout it will greatly improve your workflow. On single page ads you can get away with Illustrator/CorelDraw (or really even Photoshop a lot of times) but once you have a multi-page book (could be 8 pages, could be 500 pages) you'll really appreciate the more robust features InDesign offers Edit: Per comments CorelDraw unlike Illustrator does have some of those things I listed but not all and those it does have are not as robust as InDesign. So some features you can't get elsewhere such as GREP Support and InCopy, others are just better in a dedicated program. The basic idea Corel Draw and Ilustrator are mainly for vector based ilustrations. This is very broad, it can be a logo, and icon or inclusive almost photorealistic vector based images.
It can also be used for layout. This is for printed materials, flyers, posters, etc. This can combine photographs, vector based images and text. On the other hand, the main purpose of InDesign is to make multiple pages layout, like a magazine or a book, based on master pages that contain information on different basic grid designs and styles of titles and paragaphs. This is to make the publication consistent. Also, the basic workflow of a Layout program (InDesign) is to have the source files linked; mainly Photos and text, so if theese are edited, the changes are reflected inside the publication.
Some history Historically Ilustrator was not multipage, this is in early versions only handled 1 page. The program that handled multiple pages was PageMaker. Later Adobe started to make a new program, Indesign. Corel Draw on the other hand since early versions could handle multiple pages. The company aquired a program called Corel Ventura, to have a speciallized program for multiple pages, but the program did not last for long. Can I use it for Corel Draw is suitable to make multipage publications, a small magazine for example, where your articles dosen't extend a lot across multiple pages. In this case, CorelDraw is also a layout program.
But there is a point where the files can get very big, and the program is not very stable to handle them. (I don't go beyond 24-32 pages on a Corel Draw File) A DPS, Desktop Publishing System or Layout program, like Indesign or Scribus are optimized for this task (multiple pages). Yes you can draw some basic shapes to frame texts, titles, etc, but you don't make elaborated ilustrations on them.
Ilustrator now can use multiple artboards, this way you don't need to make 2 separated files for the front and back faces on a flyer. Categories So in the design world the main categories to put a program are: Vector based Corel Draw, Ilustrator, Inkscape, Draw Plus, etc. Photo Retouching Photoshop, Gimp, PaintShopPro, etc. Layout Programs InDesign, QuarkXpress, Scribus, Serif Plus, etc.

Other Painting programs (Painter, Photoshop), animation, web layout (Dreamweaver), Photography (Lightroom), 3D modeling, animation and render, video. We can extend on that topic. You can handle a program to do things beyond the scope of it. But the programs are more speciallized on some tasks. CoralDraw is a very reliable, robust and versatile, package. And don't forget it is well linked with its other image manipulating packages like 'Paintshop' and can handle photo tools like levels, curves, conversion, etc. It also works well with Inkscape, GIMP and Photoshop.
CorelDraw is created with both, the designer and printer (RGB n CMYK or Offset) in mind. Good for a single page or screen / poster or multi-page publication. I have not gone beyond a 30 pages file. The best thing I like about it is its micro-accuracy layer layout ability.
Its major drawback is the text format. If you have a Word file document for copy - paste, the text layer becomes unstable and requires more attention. Better get a Notepad text import or type directly in the text layer of the package.
InDesign is in its starting period. It doesn't allow us full freedom of content writing for anything like magazines, leaflets, books as other applications does and they're more friendly. InDesign is such a nightmare for beginner graphic designers. The only the good thing is layout, master pages and Illustrator support. If I have to create a cover page for my magazine I prefer to go to Photoshop or Corel Draw, for book page maker, Corel Draw and InPage for Arabic and Urdu publications. So suggestions for InDesign please consider this issue with serious note. Do the needful for better performance, we are doing our job with InDesign forcefully.
We also could not generate the barcode what InDesign.
