CorelDRAW ESSENTIALS, part of Corel's creative collection, will hit store shelves in August 2001 and will carry a suggested retail price of US $109.

Corel PHOTO-PAINT is a photo-editing application that offers exceptional image creation and enhancement, effects and artistic media brush tools. These applications open virtually unlimited creative possibilities including: illustrations, layouts, home renovation plans, family stationary, greeting cards, calendars, landscaping design, Web graphics, and more.
