With an HDR module, creating high dynamic range images has never been easier. Using their own images, or one of the thousands of royalty-free images included in CorelDRAW 2018, designers could build replicating mosaic tiles which PhotoCocktail would transform into beautiful collages.įor photography enthusiasts, Corel AfterShot 3 HDR was introduced as a download from within CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT to enhance RAW and JPEG images. PhotoCocktail gave users the opportunity to create photo collages. By reducing the number of lines and nodes in shadows, it massively sped up a process allowing designers to focus on output and volume rather than time-consuming processes. To reduce the time spent on getting a file ready for output, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2018 allowed users to add solid vector shadows to objects and text. For instance, the symmetry drawing mode let users automatically create objects from simple shapes to complex kaleidoscopes, saving a huge amount of time in the design process. The goal, once again, was to cut the time that designers traditionally had to spend on their creations. CorelDRAW’s April 2018 update was a huge improvement on the previous one, unlocking a treasure trove of new features to improve the speed and workflow of graphics designers.
