- CorelDraw
CorelDraw is a vector-based graphics software. It uses math expressions to create vector art.
Most of the logos and posters or we can say that images that you have to print are created in CorelDraw.
What makes CorelDraw better than Photoshop?
- It enables you to create multiple pages in a single file unlike Photoshop, in which you can make only one page.
- When images are scaled, it doesn’t lose their quality or look blurry.
- You can insert BAR-CODE when you are making product packaging, but, in Photoshop you can’t.
- If you want the standard design on multiple pages, the Master page layout option is there.
- No need to create or customize the layout for basic needs like a business card or envelope. CorelDraw provides predefined layouts for such use.
- Photoshop
Photoshop is raster-based graphics software developed and published by Adobe. It outputs images in pixels.
It is mainly used to create and edit images for the web, presentations, etc.
What makes Photoshop better than CorelDraw?

- All the creature effects were done in Photoshop rather than CorelDraw.
- It’s easy to do masking.
- It allows you to work with multiple layers and handle each layer independently.
