I did a lot of things with CorelDraw and they worked, still do…īut Corel sticked to some concepts to approach a problem that didn’t fit in my head. I could go on, but Corel, much like Quark, is a company that has made a whole series of blunders that, despite their one-off products being quite good, has kept them perpetually lagging behind in marketshare. ![]() ![]() This being the case, it really doesn’t matter how good CorelDraw might be since it would be an oddball purchase that doesn’t fit comfortably - both financially or practically with Photoshop or InDesign. Corel, instead, has failed to do this, and still treat their products largely as one-off Windows applications. If you have one, you’re not totally set up until you get the others. I haven’t looked lately, but I don’t even think CorelDraw is available for Macintoshes, which in the combination Mac/Windows design environment that exists today, is a deal killer for both platforms.Īdobe has aggressively integrated their three main design products (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) as a tightly knit suite that is equally adept on both Macs and Windows. Even now, they treat Macs as an afterthought market. Even now, when Windows is roughly comparable to the Mac OS, Macintoshes still tend to dominate (or at least be overrepresented in) the creative professions.Ĭorel has never offered good support for Macintoshes. So what did Corel do? They positioned themselves squarely on the side of PCs in thinking, I suppose, that designers would abandon Macs once Windows got up to speed, which they didn’t do. Corel has always positioned itself as the alternative to something else rather than the go-to product for what’s needed.įor example, heading back into the late 1980s, graphic design was not possible on on DOS computers and horridly difficult on the first few generations of Windows. The problem, in my opinion, isn’t so much with the software as it is with the company that owns it and their terrible business and marketing decisions throughout the history of the company. Why is it so despised and little used compare to the Adobe package? ![]()
