eTianbun Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Which is best, when it comes to graphic design? Adobe photoshop Corel Draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowMage Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I have no experience with either of those. I use GIMP for all my graphics needs. It is incredibly powerful and, best of all, 100% FREE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescientist Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 honestly, I would try and evaluate either one and see how you like it and how it integrates into your overall workflow. I've used Photoshop, so that's what I'm comfortable with, but someone who started with Corel instead would probably say otherwise. So really it's all about what you get on best with.

Ingolme Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Isn't Corel Draw a vector program? If it is, there's a big difference between it and Photoshop. I think Corel's equivalent to Photshop is Corel Painter. Adobe's vector program is Adobe Illustrator. Anyways, if both programs are the same type, then the only big difference is the interface. It depends on which interface you find more comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eTianbun Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Corel Draw is vector and that's what i use. I ll try photoshop and see what it has! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don E Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I preferably use Corel Draw whenever. I like the interface more than Adobe's Illustrator. They basically do the same though. Adobe has a program called Fireworks which is specifically designed for making graphics for the web, if that's what you're interested in doing. It's pretty good.

thescientist Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Corel Draw is vector and that's what i use. I ll try photoshop and see what it has! so if it's vector graphics you're after, then as Ingolme pointed out, you should be looking to try out Illustrator, as that is the more comprable product to Draw.

ShadowMage Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 This might seem like a dumb question, but what is the difference between vector graphics and [whatever the other kind is called] graphics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingolme Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Raster graphics save data as pixels, while vector data stores lines and shapes. This means that vector images can be enlarged without loss of quality. Of course, the vectors have to be saved in raster format to show it on the internet.

eTianbun Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Raster graphics, save data as pixels; while vector data stores lines and shapes... That is it... Raster graphic (PNG,JPEG,GIF,etc), is just (like) a captured image (e.g: a Scanned image), while vector, is a graphic, stored as lines/shapes, to form an image. The image, can be edited, and the shapes, can be twisted to whatever shape you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eTianbun Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 so if it's vector graphics you're after, then as Ingolme pointed out, you should be looking to try out Illustrator, as that is the more comprable product to Draw. I am not after vector graphic, cause i am realy good (realy realy good) in corel Draw. I keep hearing photoshop everywhere, so i thought its maybe a vector graphic tool, that was why i was compairing both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don E Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 eTianbun, It came to mind earlier today and I forgot to mention a pretty cool website with CorelDraw tutorials(free, but if you want the higher quality vids, you have to pay for the subscription). Teaches from basics of the program, to full drawings. http://coreldrawtips.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Of course, the vectors have to be saved in raster format to show it on the internet.That depends on the format, SVG images are vector-based. Flash is also a vector format, although you can import raster images into Flash movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmdpa Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Inkscape is a similar program that you may want to check out. I've never used it, but it sounds good for what you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alluring Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Just want to ad Gimp to the list of graphic tools. It's a free ware tool, and, if you have the patience (which I don't) you can use it to get similar editing tools to that of Photoshop. Please know that I don't use Gimp. I bought CS5 and I'll be needing food stamps for a long time to pay it off. -Grahamalluringmedia.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
