Pls guys, I'm just entering the creative world of graphic designs... But i'm having issues on which software to choose....which do you guys think is better photoshop or coreldraw Thanks in advance

Start with Photoshop and stick to Adobe softwares.

Never allow anyone to tell you what software to use. Find out what you want and learn it. but have this in mind most printers in 9ja use corel format for their printing. and Photoshop is the standard for photoediting. but test drive the softwares and find that you are comfortable with.

Disregard my post, and follow UGO2_U's advice. He's the boss-I'm only a rookie who knows a lil' Photoshop and even less Flash.

Didn't mean to step on you, just wanted the guy to have an open mind. We all learn everyday.

solution 1: Save your final job as PDF and proceed to import it to Corel draw

Solution 2: Save as PNG and proceed to import to Corel Draw

Solution 3: Save as Tiff (big file size not recommended)

The PDF option is usually the best route to take but I use option 2 the most. Just make sure you set your color space to CMYK before you start your work or you can use RGB and pray for the best.

....thanks brother, I will try it and give you feed back

I just tried it but I got import error , ...the file is corrupted. ..why is that so?

Thanks for the advice guys.... I decided to go for photoshop for now.....i'll keep u updated

save as PNG

IF U LIKE IT OR NOT, I AGREE WITH THIS COMMENT;

GO FOR GOAL...IT UR CHOICE ANYWAY...
NA LATTER U WILL KNOW THAT COREL IS FOR ADVANCE PEOPLE THE COMMERCIAL TERMS, PHOTOSHOP IS MASTERLY FOR BACKGROUNDS AND IMAGES AND ALL OTHER.

I SUE COREL DRAW 100% FOR SURE...SO GET ME RIGHT AND THINK NORMAL ON WHAT U ARE ABOUT TO CHOSE...K

k.... Thanks ppl

I believe its a step by step thing.....i'm sure i'll figure out which one i'm more confident with at some point

@op they both have their advantages, Coreldraw is better for text IMO compared to the bitmap-based photoshop but photoshop rules in background designs and photo-editing (again IMO). As earlier advised, learn both and see what works for you...for me its both.

Thanks for that
