"A more major upgrade is CorelDRAW X6's introduction of color styles: These make it possible to change fill and outline colors for several objects at once, even if they are not grouped or linked in any other way. Better yet, you can group colors into harmonies, and change an entire group of colors together, while maintaining their relative contrast levels. This means you can change the color palette for an entire composition in seconds. It's my favorite new feature."

  • Viewing color styles

    Viewing color styles

    View options are now available in the Color Styles docker to help you work with color styles more easily:

    • Page Sorter view — displays thumbnails of all pages in a document. When you edit a color style in Page Sorter view, you can see how all objects that use the color style are changed. You can easily change the size of the page thumbnails to suit your needs
    • Hint view — shows what objects are associated with color styles. When you point to a color style in the Color styles docker, an indicator now marks the object that uses the color style in the document window

    • The new Intelligent Dimensioning feature lets you intuitively scale and rotate an object in relation to other onscreen objects
    • Margin alignment guides have been enhanced, giving you the flexibility to use offset margins, inset margins, or both. There are also separate controls for horizontal and vertical margin alignment guides so you can modify settings for one without affecting the other
    • You can modify the color and line style of alignment guides, margin alignment guides, and dynamic guides
    • As you make adjustments, the custom Dynamic Guides update in real time on the preview
  • Color styles and harmonies

    The Color Styles docker now features enhancements to help you create and edit color harmonies and color styles. You can apply a rule to a color harmony to shift all colors according to predetermined logic and create various color combinations. You can also use a harmony rule to create a color harmony from scratch. The following harmony rules are available:

    • Analogous — includes colors that are next to each other on the color wheel, creating clear and smooth color schemes
    • Analogous (Accented) — similar to the Analogous rule, but includes a complementary color in addition to the adjacent colors
    • Complementary — balances the base color with the opposite color on the color wheel. Warm and cold colors are created for vibrant and energetic color schemes
    • Monochromatic — includes variations of a single color, creating soothing color schemes
    • Tetrad — based on a pair of colors and their complements on the color wheel. This rule usually creates bold color harmonies
    • Triad — balances the base color with colors that are situated close to the opposite end of the color wheel, forming a triangle. This harmony rule creates color schemes of soft contrast
  • Setting up guidelines

    Setting up guidelines in Corel PHOTO-PAINT

    The new Guidelines docker in Corel PHOTO-PAINT makes it easier to add, manage and modify guidelines. You can now position guidelines with precision, change their line style and color, have objects and editable areas snap to them, and lock them into place to avoid unwanted changes. For additional functionality, you can now add angled guidelines and rotate existing guidelines.

  • Corel PHOTO-PAINT Alignment Guides

    Alignment guides are temporary guidelines that help you align objects as you create, resize, or move them in relation to other nearby objects. The new Alignment Guides docker in Corel PHOTO-PAINT lets you view, set up, and modify alignment guides. In addition, you can now use margin alignment guides which give you the ability to inset and offset an object relative to another object.

  • Previewing styles and style sets

    Previewing styles and style sets

    Now you can preview styles and style sets by pointing to them in the Object Styles docker. This feature helps you choose what style or style set to apply to an object. In addition, when you create a style or a style set from objects, a preview shows you what object attributes will be included in the new style or style set.
