Something missing
Sorry, I can't agree with the other reviewers. Maybe since they are new to Corel they didn't realize the fact that information on some very important tools is completely missing. Although shown in a toolbar description, the interactive drop shadow, blend, and distortion tools are forgotten. I'm also new to Corel, and I stumbled on this fact while experimenting. It does provide a good basis for a robust piece of software, but I can't give it 5 stars.
YES! You can learn how to use CorelDRAW in 24 hours!
What an excellent choice to make if you want to learn a graphic software in a short period of time! I am an avid reader of self teaching books, since we have not many classes on the computer graphics subject here in Alaska. This one is one of the best ones ever. If you follow the chapters one by one, practicing one hour a day, after 24 days you are quite the capable user of CorelDRAW, which - by the way - is a lot of fun. The way David Karlins describes the different tools and how to use them makes it very easy even for the novice to follow. I also loved the tips and notes and sense of humor. It is also an excellent update for seasoned CorelDRAW users. I highly recommend it!
