User-inspired enhancements

New! Inner Shadow tool

With CorelDRAW 2020, you can apply inner shadows to design elements to give them 3D depth. The new Inner Shadow tool lets you simulate light falling on an object in a click and then fine-tune the inner shadow with intuitive property bar controls.

Enhanced! Find and Replace

The redesigned Find and Replace docker in CorelDRAW 2020 offers an expanded search range so you don’t have to do multiple sweeps in the same file. There are also powerful new time-saving options for simultaneously finding and replacing the color or color model of an outline or fill, including mesh fills.

Enhanced! Object distribution

It’s easier than ever to get exact page layouts and precise designs in CorelDRAW 2020. The new Distribute by Spacing option simplifies defining a specific dimension between objects when distributing them.

New! Non-destructive effects in Corel PHOTO-PAINT

The new Effects docker in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 2020 makes it easy to apply, modify and experiment with effects, all without altering the source object. Get different looks by adding multiple effects, reordering them in the list or toggling them on or off. For more information, see To work with non-destructive effects.

Enhanced! PDF support

It’s easier to fine-tune PDFs in CorelDRAW 2020 before you export them thanks to a new warning that helps pinpoint and troubleshoot issues. There’s also a new setting that reduces the size of the PDF by cropping anything that isn’t on the drawing page.

Enhanced! Masks

The new Smart Selection Mask tool in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 2020 selects image areas using an algorithm that intelligently expands the selection by finding edges. What’s more, the Mask Transform tool is enhanced so that transformations can now be applied to pixels within a mask. For more information, see To define an editable area based on the edge of a shape or area and To include the pixels of an editable area in transformations.

Enhanced! Color replacement

Enhancements in Corel PHOTO-PAINT 2020 make selecting and replacing colors in images faster and more accurate than ever.

Enhanced! Options navigation

It’s quicker and easier than ever to tailor your design environment to best suit the way you work. In just a click, you can switch between options for the entire suite, the active application, or the current document, as well as settings for the default behavior of commonly used tools. For more information, see Choose options.

Enhanced! Dialog box UI

In response to user feedback, dialog boxes have been made more consistent throughout the suite. Frequently used settings and controls are easier to find, so you can locate them instantly and work faster.

The features documented in the Help are available in the full version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2020. Some features may not be available in this version of the product.
