Graphics Suite V.X5 Limited Edition

Reviewer’s Guide [ 13 ]
The enhanced Color Palette Manager docker lets you
create and organize custom palettes.
New! Pixels view: The new Pixels view lets you
create drawings in actual pixel units, providing a
more accurate representation of how a design
will appear on the Web. Accessible from the View
menu, the Pixels view mode helps you align
objects more accurately. In addition, CorelDRAW
now lets you snap objects, nodes, and guidelines
to pixels.
The new Pixels view lets you create objects with precision.
Enhanced! Round corners: You can now
create chamfered, scalloped, or round corners
from the Rectangle property bar. When you
stretch a rectangle, rounded corners are
preserved without distortion, and the original
radius of a corner is maintained during scaling. In
addition, corners are now expressed in units of
true radii, which makes them easier to work with.
You can stretch rectangles with scalloped, chamfered, and
round corners without distorting the corners.
