Corel Draw X3
Tuesday, August 28, 2007 by bobbyhundreds | Discussion: Personal Computing
Hi,I am thinking of buying Corel Draw X3 as I need to replace my graphics software (Corel PSP X)which doesn't work on my new vista PC.
I noticed on Amazon that there is a "student/teacher" version of X3 which is considerably cheaper than the full version.I qualify as a student at the moment (albeit a rather ancient one)and I am curious as to what the difference is between the two versions.
Are vital features omitted or is it just the uber technical stuff that is left out?
If this is the case the student version would be ideal as I am just a hobbyist making icons etc.
Does anyone here know what the difference is?I can't find a comparison on the Corel site.
Thanks.

Ahh yes of course PSP XI.I'll check out the trial.
I just hope the hundred odd pounds worth of plugins(alienskin and flaming pear) I bought while I had XP will still work.
Thanks ID.you're a gent and a scholar.

I'm not sure about the plugins, as I don't use many, but I'm pretty sure I read where they are still compatible. I'm sure you will be able to find out in the trial. Corel has been real good with upgrade pricing as well.

I just upgraded to Paint Shop Pro XI for Vista, and it's been working great.
