Delivering a Superior User Experience Through Improved Usability,
Enhanced Interactivity, and Streamlined Workflow

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 features more than 50 new and
significantly enhanced features, including:

-- New! Live text formatting: CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4
introduces live text formatting, allowing users to preview
text formatting options before applying them to a document.
With this time-saving feature, users can now preview many
different formatting options, including fonts, font size, and
alignment, removing the "trial-and-error" typically associated
with the design process.

-- New! Font identification: CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 now
integrates with WhatTheFont(TM), the online font
identification service from MyFonts.com. Users can save time
by quickly identifying the font used in existing bitmap
designs, artwork or other images received from clients.

-- New! Independent page layers: Users can now control and edit
layers independently for each page of a document, reducing the
occurrence of pages with empty layers. Users can also add
independent guidelines for individual pages and master
guidelines for an entire document. This gives users the
ability to create different layers on a page-specific basis,
unconfined by a single document structure.

-- New! Interactive tables: The new, interactive Table tool in
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 lets users create and import
tables to provide a powerful, structured layout for text and
graphics. Users can easily align, resize, or edit tables and
table cells to suit their designs. In addition, users can
convert delimited text and easily add and adjust images in
individual cells.

-- Enhanced! Windows Vista(R) integration: CorelDRAW Graphics
Suite is the only professional graphics suite Certified for
Windows Vista(R). CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 has been
designed to take advantage of the latest innovations from
Windows Vista, while still offering a superior experience for
Windows(R) XP users. CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 integrates
with the desktop search capabilities of Windows Vista directly
from within the Open and Import dialog boxes, enabling users
to search for files by author, subject, file type, date,
keywords, or other file properties. Users can also easily add
their own keywords, ratings or other notes when saving files
in order to better organize their projects.

-- New! CorelDRAW(R) ConceptShare(TM) integration: The new
CorelDRAW(R) ConceptShare(TM) docker, accessible from within
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, integrates a valuable online
collaboration tool directly within the user workflow. In a
Web-based environment, CorelDRAW ConceptShare lets users share
their designs and ideas with colleagues or clients in real
time. Users can easily create multiple workspaces, upload
their designs, and invite others to provide feedback or submit
their own ideas without sending large files over email.

-- New! File format support: CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4
maintains its position as market leader in file format
compatibility by adding support for Microsoft(R) Office
Publisher. Users can also expect seamless compatibility with
Microsoft Word 2007, Adobe Illustrator(R) Creative Suite(R) 3,
Adobe Photoshop(R) CS3, PDF 1.7 (Adobe(R) Acrobat(R) 8),
AutoCAD(R) DXF(TM) and AutoCAD(R) DWG(TM), and Corel
Painter(TM) X, making it easier than ever to exchange files
with clients and colleagues.

-- New! Professionally designed templates: CorelDRAW Graphics
Suite X4 includes 80 professionally designed and customizable
templates, giving users a springboard to the design process.
Flexible and easy to customize, the templates are accompanied
by Designer Notes that provide information on the design
choices made for the template, tips for outputting a design
based on the template, and instructions for customizing the
template while still adhering to design principles.

-- New! Specialized fonts: An extended selection of new fonts in
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4 helps users ensure their output is
optimized for its intended audience. This specialized
collection of fonts includes single-line engraving fonts and
OpenType(R) cross-platform fonts, which offer enhanced
language support for Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic outputs in
WGL4 format.

-- New! Welcome screen: With a new Welcome screen, CorelDRAW
Graphics Suite X4 provides users with a centralized location
to access recently used documents, templates, and learning
tools, which include Tips & Tricks and video tutorials. To
inspire users, the Welcome screen also includes a gallery that
showcases designs created by CorelDRAW Graphics Suite users
from around the world.

New Additions to Corel PHOTO-PAINT(R)

-- New! RAW camera file support: Corel PHOTO-PAINT(R) now
includes support for RAW camera file formats, enabling users
to import RAW camera files directly from their digital camera.
With support for approximately 300 different camera types and
interactive controls that provide real-time previews, users
can view file properties and camera settings, adjust image
color and tone, and improve image quality, all from within
Corel PHOTO-PAINT X4 and CorelDRAW X4.

-- New! Straighten image: Using Corel PHOTO-PAINT, users can
quickly and easily straighten images that were scanned or
photographed at an angle. With interactive controls, a grid
with vertical and horizontal guidelines, and an integrated
histogram that provides results in real time, PHOTO-PAINT
makes it easier than ever to straighten crooked images. In
addition, users can choose to have their images automatically
cropped.

-- Enhanced! Tone Curve adjustments: With the enhanced Tone Curve
dialog box, Corel PHOTO-PAINT X4 users can adjust their images
with greater precision. With an integrated histogram, users
now receive real-time feedback as they make adjustments to
their images. In addition, the new Eyedropper tool lets users
pinpoint specific color locations on the tone curve of their
image, as well as select, add, or delete nodes along the tone
curve.

"With the release of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4, Corel continues
to set the industry standard for graphics power, ease-of-use and
productivity," said Ariel Garaza Diaz, Professor and Expert in Graphic
Design and Prepress, Madrid, Spain. "Adding innovative features like

of file formats further demonstrates Corel's commitment to providing
users with superior performance, value and productivity."
