Extensions

 

Extensions provide additional features for CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT and allow you to complete complex tasks with ease. They usually add new UI (user interface) elements such as a new tool, menu command, toolbar, docker, or dialog box.

Extensions do not require installation and can be downloaded through the Get More docker in CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT.

Available extensions include:

Convert All to Curves

Border and Grommet

Fit Objects to Path

Impact Effects

PhotoCocktail

Pointillizer

Prep and Stretch
