New & Enhanced!
Use color with certainty:
With Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite X5, the color
management engine has been completely
redesigned. The new Default Color Management
Settings dialog box lets users set default color
profiles, policies, and rendering intents for each
application. In addition, a new Document Color
Settings dialog box lets users adjust color settings
that apply only to the current document. This
flexibility makes it easier for users to ensure
accurate color representation while also providing a
greater level of control for advanced users.
The new Color Proof Settings docker lets users save
presets, preview color outputs, and more efficiently
prepare technical illustrations for various output
devices. Plus, the addition of an Eyedropper tool to
various color dialog boxes lets users quickly and
conveniently sample and match colors from a
document without having to close the dialog box.
What’s more, the enhanced Color Palette Manager
docker includes new PANTONE
®
profiles, such as the
PANTONE
®
Goe
system, as well as many other
Process and Spot color libraries, such as HKS,
Focoltone, and TOYO. Users can also add third-party
color palettes when working with multiple
applications, ensuring optimal color consistency.

PowerTRACE
X5:
Technical illustrators and technical graphics users often
base a new illustration on an existing one. Legacy
designs can include scanned bitmaps of circuit design
blueprints, schematics, hand-drawn illustrations, and
drawings created with previous versions of
Corel DESIGNER. With Corel PowerTRACE X5, users can
now convert bitmaps into editable vector graphics and
achieve smoother curves and more accurate results.
This version of Corel PowerTRACE produces the best
trace results yet.
Corel PowerTRACE X5 lets users convert bitmaps into
high-quality vector graphics.
Enhanced! Professional image editing:
With Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5, users can quickly
and easily enhance and retouch photos for use in
a technical graphics workflow. The enhanced
Objects docker helps users achieve greater
workflow efficiency by enabling hiearchical
organization of project elements and by making
commonly used features more accessible. Notable
among the improvements are nested object
grouping, enhanced object and masks
thumbnails, and the ability to lock objects —
which prevents them from being accidentally
selected, edited, or moved.
In addition, the new Convert to Grayscale dialog
box provides greater control by letting users
choose the range of colors used in the conversion.
This eliminates results that appear washed out
because of predominant blues or reds in the
original photo. The new dialog box also provides
a preview window, which lets users adjust the
colors to create a more realistic conversion.
Corel PHOTO-PAINT X5 provides professional image-
editing features, such as the Cutout Lab and the new
Convert to Grayscale dialog box (shown above).
New! Windows

Touch support:
The suite
looks right at home on Windows 7 — users can
navigate each application workspace by using
finger gestures. Support for taskbar thumbnails
lets users switch between open documents quickly.
