Advanced illustration

Thanks to new precision layout capabilities and the Draw in Perspective feature, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2021 makes complicated workflows simple.
Perspective drawing:
 Draw objects or illustrated scenes in perspective, faster and easier than ever. Choose from 1, 2, or 3-point perspective, draw or add an existing group of objects on a shared perspective plane, and move and edit objects freely without losing perspective.
Snap to self: A new setting allows you to prevent objects from snapping to their own snap points so you can move and transform design elements with ease and precision.
Guidelines: When working with guidelines you can switch views from world scale to page dimensions in a click, and it’s now easier to manage custom guidelines too.

Flexible design space

Go from ideation to output in record time, with new workflows that put you in control of your pages and assets.
Multipage view: View, manage, and edit all of your project’s digital assets in one view. Move objects across pages fluidly, compare designs side-by-side, and freely move pages around to arrange them as you wish.
Multi-asset export: When you’re done designing, you can create a customised list of page and object items to export with one click.
Symbols workflow enhancements: An enhanced Symbols workflow saves you time by enabling you to quickly search for symbols within large libraries and identify them easier among other objects.

 
 

Progressive image editing

Powerful new photo editing features in PHOTO-PAINT and CorelDRAW 2021are purpose-built to enhance images in fewer steps.
Enhanced colour replacement: The new Replace Colors tool has been rebuilt from the ground up to provide a faster, easier route to flawless photos.
Reimagined adjustments workflow: Take the totally transformed Adjustments workflow in Corel PHOTO-PAINT for a spin to apply critical image adjustments non-destructively, in real-time, and in context, with the Local Adjustment Mode making it simple to target a filter to a specific image area.
HEIF file format support: You can now enjoy support for the standard photo format used on iPhone in both PHOTO-PAINT and CorelDRAW 2021.
