More form PCMag review:
CorelDraw is for vector drawing and editing, as well as layout. It’s a global favorite, with predominant appeal to the apparel, garment, and textile industries. Formerly the app was only for Windows, but now that it’s available to macOS users, its audience is expanding.

With its biggest competitor, Adobe Illustrator, having a significant foothold among the professional graphic design crowd, Corel is working to share the market space more evenly by making sure it sports modern requirements like facilitated centralized collaboration, expanded compatibility, and subscription-based extras.

In addition to supporting macOS, the latest version has new cloud-based collaboration and asset management, and an Adjustments inspector. Below, we evaluate these and several other new or improved features.
