- Works with Vista
- I have been a user of Corel for many years. I've appreciated the product and was disappointed that the version I had been using could not work on my Vista machine. So, I upgraded and have been happy with the new version of the product too.

- Aces Again
- Corel Graphics Suite X4 is a great step forward in the long line of CorelDRAW and CGS tools. A great value. Corel continues to provide a product with the tools a professional or an advanced amateur needs to create illustrations and work with today's digital images.

- CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 remains a core member of my software arsenal.
- I'm a long-time fan of Corel graphics products. I've been using the graphics suite since version 3.
With version X4, the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite remains a professional-grade graphics production software. As a professional graphic designer, I've used Adobe products and find Corel's products to be more intuitive and flexible, not to mention much more affordable. I love being able to work with native Illustrator / Photoshop files with more ease and speed than using Illustrator / Photoshop / CS3. And I've also had no problems providing Adobe-only service bureaus with Adobe files created from CorelDRAW / PhotoPaint. My production software arsenal will continue to have CorelDRAW Graphics Suite at its core.
Version X4 seems quite stable; I've not used all its capabilities yet, but will eventually and have complete faith in the suite's integrity. - 2008-06-13, 4 of 5 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- An excellent program suite
- CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 [DVD]
A highly under-rated program given its capabilities, ease of use... it is no less than Adobe's industry leading programs like Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign... it has the combined capabilities of all three and yet shines over them with not so insignificant free add-ons like a myriad of filters for importing and exporting various formats, bar-code generator, a large library of fonts and clip-art, etc., which in the case of Adobe need serious money to make them as complete as CorelDraw. I use all of them, but the comfort level and efficiencies offered by CorelDraw are unequalled. I can never figure out why CorelDraw never made it to becoming an industry standard. - 2008-06-13, 5 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Some nice improvements, but buggy as always
- I've been using the CorelDRAW suite since version 2, so I like the product. But I get tired of new versions being so buggy--I sometimes find myself feeling more like a beta tester than a customer when I upgrade. While this version is supposedly optimized for Vista, it locks up for no apparent reason from time to time and sends me running back to version 12 in order to get things done. Still, if you're a Corel fan like me and you want compatibility with the latest files from Adobe CS3, this is where you need to be.
Since I upgraded from version 12 and skipped X3, I'm not sure whether some of the changes to the symbols used on the toolbar icons are new this time or were last time, but I'd have preferred to continue with the familiar ones and don't see an option that would allow me to do so. Ditto for the new arrow-like appearance of the nodes in DRAW.
I like the new option for straightening scans, but with Adobe Acrobat able to do that automatically (when it performs OCR), I'm surprised Corel hasn't found a way to do the same.
Overall, I still prefer Corel to Adobe's suite--it's a more intuitive interface and I can do pretty much the same stuff, often faster than my colleagues who use the Adobe suite--but it always irks me that it takes a couple of fixes and revisions to achieve stability whenever I upgrade. - 2008-05-19, 10 of 12 people found this review helpful, Rated:
