 Don't buy this version! Buy a newer version November 8, 2008
Spend a bit more money if you must and buy X4 or even X3 - Corel do not support this application anymore and THAT is the reason it is cheaper.
I recently bought CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 12 from Amazon with a view to upgrading when more familiar with the software...but I can barely use it on my computer. Whenever I try to save or even open an existing document, the application recovery manager comes up and tells me the application has become unstable, its very annoying. There is nothing wrong with my pc, probably one of my applications is incompatible with Corel, however Corel offer no advice or guidence on this particular product as it is too old. Of course, not everyone has this problem running Corel, but if you do it is better to have support from Corel to solve the problem. Dissapointed as I defintiely prefer Corel to Illustrator, looks like a wonderful package - if only I could get it to run properly. There should be restrictions on companies selling unsupported software, these people are just trying to move their old stock, its not a good deal at all.

I don't know how other people are having trouble with this software being buggy, its been rock-solid for me - never a single crash in several months of use. I find it competes well with anything I could do with Adobe software (that includes Photo-Paint) and has much less of the 'bloat-ware' effect, although I wouldn't try running it on anything under 1Ghz with 512Mb RAM

A great product, but a few weeks after I bought it Corel announced a new version. Hang on and wait to see if that would make a better upgrade choice.
 Classical Corel, powered by new great features June 25, 2004

If you are fan of adobe photoshop, maybe you won't like it as much as I am. But Corel really did a great job with this version. It gives you full power of working with vector graphics. Features supplied on other 2 CDs are trully amazing.
It's good value for money, you get not only most powerful publishing software, but collection of registrered fonts - only this worth several hundred pounds. And plus the collection of images and clipat. And this is not just boring little images - this is full quality, full of life, high resolution stuff.
I would recommend it to anybody who is serious about computer graphics. Corel Masterpiece.
 not a very impressive upgrade June 20, 2004

As upgrades go this is not very good. Very few new features have been added and most of them have limited use. To start with the smart drawing tools only recognises the most basic of shapes (circles, squares, rectangles, etc) which can be easily created by using the other tools coreldraw already offered. I'm not sure who will find this tool usefull as most coreldraw users will use coreldraw for far more complex tasks than this.
What is a much better conceived idea is the new dynamic guides, very usefull for technical illustrations which demand a high degree of accuracy.
As for Photopaint which was once a real contender against Photoshop, now it barely competes against paintshop pro. There is hardly any difference between version 12 and version 11, except for a third rate attempt at creating a tool similar too photoshop's healing brush.
Coreldraw is still a good product, but this upgrade is not worth forking out for if you already have version 10 or 11.
