CorelDRAW Graphics Suite March 2023 release
New! Online templates
In CorelDRAW, you can now start a project from an online template on the Templates tab of the Create a New Document dialog box. The
new online library gives you instant access to more templates than ever before. Complete your profile survey, so you can filter templates and
display the ones that are best suited for you.
Enhanced! Practice project recommendations
You can now access practice projects that match your skill level, needs, and interests on the last page of the profile survey. For more
information, see “Practice projects” on page 39.
Enhanced! Document-creation controls
Now you can set bleed limits on the Document Settings tab of the Create a New Document dialog box. This setting is saved with the
document's presets and offers more flexibility when creating new documents in CorelDRAW.
Enhanced! Document-preset thumbnails
Improved thumbnails of presets in the Create a New Document dialog box make it easier to view and browse the wide selection of print,
web, device-specific, and social media presets available in the app. Page size information has been streamlined to reduce visual clutter. Now
icons give a better indication of the page type and can help you quickly locate the exact preset you need.
Enhanced! Crash reporting
If an application in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite quits unexpectedly, an error report dialog box appears the next time the application is
launched. Now if you don't want to send an error report, you can disable the crash report dialog in the Global Privacy settings. For more
information, see “Error logging and reporting” on page 34.

New! Variable Outline tool
The Variable Outline tool lets you create object outlines of varying widths in CorelDRAW. You can specify where the width variance starts
and ends to create dynamic, organic-looking lines and shapes. In addition, you can modify an outline without affecting its variable outline
properties.
You can apply an outline of varying widths using the Variable Outline tool.
CorelDRAW Graphics Suite September 2022 Subscriber Update
New and enhanced! Support for the Google Web Picture (*.webp) file format
CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT now offer support for the Google Web Picture (*.webp) file format. This open standard format
developed by Google provides lossless and lossy compression for images designed for use on the web. WEBP lossless images are smaller than
PNGs, and WEBP lossy images are smaller than JPEG images. You can import WEBP files as you would any other supported files. When you
export a file to the WEBP format, you can choose from several presets to suit your needs, or create a new preset and save it for future use.
Advanced settings, such as quality and compression ratio give you flexibility and control over the compression factor for RGB channels and
the ratio between encoding speed, file size, and quality, respectively. Image transparency is maintained on both import and export. For more
information, see “Google Web Picture (WEBP)” on page 522.
New and enhanced! Practice projects
Practice projects are collections of CorelDRAW (CDR) and Corel PHOTO-PAINT (CPT) files that you can download to use for learning,
training, or demos. You can take advantage of these new in-app tutorials to practice basic concepts and refine your skills. In addition to
the completed version of the project that you can consult for reference, each CorelDRAW tutorial comes with a partially completed version
enriched with step-by-step instructions to make the experience interactive and help you complete the project successfully. You can access and
browse practice projects on the Explore tab of the Learn inspector. Complete the user profile survey to get recommendations for practice
projects that match your needs. For more information, see “Practice projects” on page 39.
New and enhanced! Create a New Document dialog box
The Create a New Document dialog box in CorelDRAW has been redesigned to provide a central location for starting drawings. The dialog
box now has two tabs, Document Settings and Templates, so you can switch between views with ease.
On the Document Settings tab (File New), you can start a blank drawing by specifying document settings or choosing a preset.
CorelDRAW lets you search and browse a wide selection of print, web, device-specific, and social media presets. Presets include predefined
settings for page size and orientation, primary color mode, units of measurement, and resolution. For example, the LinkedIn Cover preset
from the Social category uses pixels instead of inches, landscape orientation, RGB color and has the dimensions required for a LinkedIn cover
image. To find presets more easily, CorelDRAW lets you filter them by category and page type and sort them by name, date, and page size.
On the Templates tab (File New from Template), you can start a drawing from a template. The interfaces for filtering and sorting
templates and accessing local and network folders have been reorganized to help you quickly find the templates you need.
