Support for UltraHD 4K displays

An updated interface and support for 4K monitors means that you can comfortably view CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT on even the most high-definition monitors, including UltraHD. This allows you to edit photos at their native resolution and see the subtlest details in the image. And with more pixels at your disposal, you can open several windows side-by-side for an efficient workflow.

Support of Windows 10

Thanks to our relentless pursuit of delivering the highest quality user experience, CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8 is fully compliant with and certified for Windows 10. Corel delivers the same reliability and performance that users have come to expect when working on world’s most popular operating system.

Improved Hints docker

The Hints docker is a hub of valuable learning resources designed to help reduce the learning curve for new users. It dynamically displays context-sensitive information on the currently selected tool and provides links to related information. Enhanced in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8, the Hints docker now gives you quick access to additional resources such as video hints, longer videos, and written tutorials, so you can learn more about a tool or feature without having to search. For more information, see Using Hints.

Enhanced Hints topics let you access additional resources about tools.

Advanced multi-monitor support

Per-Monitor UI scaling and improvements to multi-monitor support allow graphics professionals to take advantage of the sharpness and fidelity of new High-DPI monitors and laptops while still using lower-DPI monitors to maximize design space (requires supported hardware and Windows 8.1 or later). This ensures that UI elements scale properly and appear crisp and legible on screens of all resolutions. For example, you can drag a document out of the application window and place it within a second screen, dedicating one monitor to a drawing or image and the other to frequently used dockers and toolbars.
