New! Live Comments
This new feature lets everyone involved in a project work in real time, where stakeholders can comment on and annotate a document in
CorelDRAW.app with all feedback instantly appearing in the working file in CorelDRAW 2021.
A new dashboard in both CorelDRAW 2021 and CorelDRAW.app acts as your collaboration hub. It contains all your Cloud drawings and in a
click displays a preview, the number of comments and team members, and project status. The dashboard also lets you share designs directly
from CorelDRAW 2021 without having to open each file.
A project dashboard helps you store, view, organize, and share files saved to the Cloud.
Note: Collaboration features are available exclusively with a CorelDRAW Graphics Suite subscription, licensing with maintenance, or an
additional purchase plan for perpetual license customers.
New! Perspective Drawing
In CorelDRAW 2021, it's easier than ever to draw objects or scenes in perspective. This new feature is based on the principles of perspective
projection and boosts productivity by eliminating the need to first set up complex grids.
To get you started, there are presets for four types of perspective drawing, which are easily customizable by adjusting any part of the
perspective field. The possibilities are limitless thanks to the ability to create multiple perspective groups each with their own unique
perspective field within the same page or document.
Whether you want to produce textures and patterns for your illustrations, deliver distinctive sketches of product ideas, or generate proof of
concept designs that have the illusion of depth and distance, perspective drawing can help accomplish the task at hand with ease.

New! Multi-asset Export
CorelDRAW 2021 lets you create a customized list of assets to export with one click. The new Export inspector has a range of flexible, time-
saving options for outputting pages and objects.
In a couple of clicks, you can send pages or objects to multiple industry-standard formats, including PDF. The same design element can be
simultaneously exported with different settings by duplicating it in the Export inspector and modifying the output options. Or you can export
several items at the same time using identical preferences.
Export a list of pages and objects to a range of formats in a single click.
Enhanced! Image Adjustment

Adjustments inspector gives instant access to the most critical and frequently used filters, letting you quickly work non-destructively, in real
time, and in context. What’s more, the brand new Local Adjustment Mode simplifies targeting a filter to a specific image area. For more
information, see “Adjustments inspector” on page 132.

The Replace Colors filter has been rebuilt from the ground up. Improved color pickers and eyedropper tools allow for more precise editing,
and a new interactive control makes fine-tuning hue and saturation ranges more intuitive. Corel PHOTO-PAINT 2021 has also added a slider
to help ensure smoother color transitions between selected and unselected pixels. For more information, see “Replace Colors” on page
151.

New! HEIF Support
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2021 lets you take advantage of photos captured on mobile phones with High Efficiency Image File (HEIF)
support. Many devices use HEIF as the default capture format because it delivers smaller file sizes without sacrificing picture quality. You can
import or open the key image from HEIF files in Corel PHOTO-PAINT or import it into a drawing in CorelDRAW. For more information, see
“High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIF)” on page 515.
