Which is better?

Photoshop or Corel Draw?

For me the best is Photoshop, because it's so compact to use!

Vote on the poll.

I started a post like this some moths ago. In fact I thought you were replying to my post
Anyway, now I've been using Photoshop and Illustrator for some time and definitely they're way better. If you're a beginner, you'll find Corel easier, but for power users, professional users, the clear choice is Adobe's suite. The bad thing about it is the price tag but if you or your company can affort it, don't bother wasting time comparing. For some reason Adobe is what most pros use (more powerful and less buggy). Oh, yes! and the other bad thing is that they're not as friendly as Corel, but you can get a lot of tutorials from the web nowadays.

Best regards!

I haven't seen Corel Draw in years! I remember it being easy to use, but frustrating to use once I found out all of the wonderful things that Photoshop could do more easily.

Wow it's been a long time since I used Corel Draw. Photoshop is probably the thing to use, although I always liked using Paint Shop Pro since I learned on it. They're pretty similar, Photoshop is probably better though.

There's another cool software called GIMP which isn't quite the power house that Photoshop is, but it has it's own nice little features... check it out some time it's free and a nice addition to a computer if you're a software junkie

Edit: Looks like jhlaslip snuck GIMP in there before me. Sneaky! My post says 12:57 and yours is 12:58 but mines last! Hmm. Makes it look like I stole your suggestion Oh well..

Have you considered running the GIMP software?
Open Source, so price is not a consideration. Fully functional Graphics program with tons of developers and Tutorials available on the Web.

Corel Draw is more like an all-in-one solution for raster and vector while Photoshop solely handles all raster and have limited support on vector.

Both is still professional choices but the only advantage on what Adobe have over Corel is their voice of marketing. I have seen design firms that uses both and you cant tell which finishing uses which application to accomplish.

I cant vote since i prefer both.

Well i was running GIMP when i had Ubuntu and i can't say that i don't like it.
But i hate it because he don't has Undo option, but the other stuff are good.
Speaking of tutorials where i can find Photoshop tutorials? Can someone post some web site or something similar.

Greetings

Well i am using Photoshop. Corel Draw i didn't try it but as i saw some pictures it's difficult for me Photoshop is the best choice for me. About the GIMP, i think he is a copy from Photoshop, am i right?
