To view information about product updates, click Help  Updates.

To customize update and message settings, click Help  Message Settings.

Change user credentials

As a user and owner of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, you must know your user credentials:

•your product serial number — lets you install and reinstall your product. The serial number is the unique identifier of your product license.

•the email address associated with your Corel.com account. For each Corel.com account, a unique email address and password are required. When you authenticate your product to access online features and content, you sign in with a specific Corel.com account, associating the product with that account and its email address.

This topic describes two typical cases in which you need to change your account settings and then update your user credentials in the installed product to match the new account settings. Updating your user credentials ensures that you don’t need to uninstall and reinstall the product.

You want to merge two product subscriptions that you purchased with the same Corel.com account at a different time so that the subscriptions have the same renewal date.

In this case, each subscription is associated with a different serial number. You must first go to Your Account page, and then associate both subscriptions with one of the serial numbers. Second, you must edit the user credentials in the product that now has an obsolete serial number.

Step 1: Go to Your Account page by signing in on corel.com, and then click Merge in the Product Status area. On the Subscriptions page, select the subscriptions that you want to merge. Proceed to the Confirm selection page, and choose the serial number that you want to keep.

Step 2: Start the version of CorelDRAW or Corel PHOTO-PAINT that now has an obsolete serial number. Click Tools  Options  Global. In the left pane of the dialog box, click User ID. Next, click Edit Credentials, and in the dialog box, type the serial number that you chose in step 1.

28 | CorelDRAW 2019 User Guide

You have two Corel.com accounts associated with different email addresses, and you want to merge the two accounts.

First, you must call Corel Support Services to merge the accounts for you, and then you must update your email address through the product.

Step 1: Contact Corel Support Services with a request to merge the two accounts for you. You will be asked to provide an active email address for your merged account. If you have subscriptions or Upgrade Programs in each account, they are associated with different serial numbers so you need to choose one of the serial numbers.

Step 2: Start the version of CorelDRAW or Corel PHOTO-PAINT that is now associated with an obsolete account and email address. Click Tools  Options  Global. In the left pane of the dialog box, click User ID. Click Edit Credentials, and in the dialog box that appears, type the email address that you chose for your merged account. Type your password.

Vector graphics and bitmaps

The two main types of computer graphics are vector graphics and bitmaps. Vector graphics are made of lines and curves, and they are generated from mathematical descriptions that determine the position, length, and direction in which lines are drawn. Bitmaps, also known as raster images, are composed of small squares called pixels; each pixel is mapped to a location in an image and has numerical color values.

Vector graphics are ideal for logos and illustrations because they are resolution-independent and can be scaled to any size, or printed and displayed at any resolution, without losing detail and quality. In addition, you can produce sharp and crisp outlines with vector graphics.

Bitmaps are excellent for photographs and digital paintings because they reproduce color gradations well. Bitmaps are resolution-dependent

— that is, they represent a fixed number of pixels. They look good at their actual size, but they can appear jagged or lose image quality when scaled, or when displayed or printed at a resolution higher than their original resolution.

CorelDRAW basics | 43

You can create vector graphics in CorelDRAW. You can also import bitmaps (such as JPEG and TIFF files) into CorelDRAW and add them to your drawings. For information about working with bitmaps, see “Work with bitmaps” on page 623.

Top: A vector graphic consists of lines and fills. Bottom: A bitmap is made up of pixels.

Start and open drawings

CorelDRAW lets you start a new drawing from a blank page, a template, or an existing drawing. A blank page gives you the freedom to specify every aspect of a drawing. A template provides you with a starting point and leaves the amount of customization up to you.

For information about starting a drawing from a template, see “To start a document from a template” on page 560. For more information about creating and using templates, see “Templates” on page 559.

Notes for starting new drawings

When starting a new drawing, CorelDRAW lets you specify page, document, and color management settings. You can choose from a list of preset settings, which are based on how you intend to use the drawing. For example, you can choose the Web option if you are creating a drawing for the Internet, or the Default CMYK option if you are creating a document destined for commercial printing. However, if the preset settings are not suitable for the drawing that you want to create, you can also customize the settings and save them for future use.

Notes for opening existing drawings

Basing a new drawing on an existing drawing lets you reuse objects and page settings. CorelDRAW lets you open existing drawings saved to the CorelDRAW (CDR) format as well as drawings and projects saved to various file formats such as Corel DESIGNER (DSF or DES), Adobe Illustrator (AI), Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), and Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM). However, you may not be able to open certain files, depending on their file type and contents. In such cases, you can try importing the files as objects in an open drawing. For information about the file formats that you can import into CorelDRAW, see “Supported file formats” on page 797.

If the drawing you are opening is from an earlier version of CorelDRAW and contains text in a language different from the language of your operating system, you can choose code page settings to ensure that text is properly converted according to the Unicode Standard. Code page settings help you correctly display text such as keywords, file names, and text entries outside the drawing window — for example, in the Objects and Object Data Manager dockers. To display text correctly in the drawing window, you must use encoding settings. For more information, see “Display text correctly in any language” on page 527.

If the drawing you are opening contains an embedded International Color Consortium (ICC) profile, the embedded color profile remains the document’s color profile. For more information, see “About color management” on page 405.

44 | CorelDRAW 2019 User Guide

You can search for drawings by different criteria, such as filename, title, subject, author, keyword, comment, text within the file, and other properties attached to the file. For more information about searching for files, see the Windows Help. For more information about browsing and searching for content, see “Find content with the CONNECT Browser ” on page 97.

You can also display previous versions of a drawing.

To start a drawing

•On the Welcome screen, click Get started  New document.

•In the application window, click File  New.

2Type a filename in the Name text box.

3From the Preset destination list box, choose an output destination for the drawing:

into gamut

When you choose a color mode from the Primary color mode list box, it becomes the default color mode for the document. The default color mode affects how colors work together in effects such as blends and transparencies. It does not restrict the type of colors that you can apply to a drawing. For example, if you set the color mode to RGB, you can still apply colors from a CMYK color palette to the document.

The primary color mode also specifies the default color mode for exporting documents. For example, if you choose the RGB color mode and export a document as a JPEG, the color mode is automatically set to RGB.

The settings that are displayed in the Color settings area of the Create a new document dialog box are based on the settings that are specified in the Default color management settings dialog box.

If you do not want to show the Create a new document dialog box and prefer to use the last used settings to create new documents, enable the Do not show this dialog again check box.
