Corel introduces industry’s first LiveSketch tool

Corel introduces the LiveSketch tool

The industry’s first intelligence-based vector drawing experience is now available in CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2017.

Hand-drawn strokes are intelligently interpreted, adjusted and combined with existing vector curves in the new LiveSketch tool, making it simple to sketch and draw directly on a pen-enabled device.

Gérard Métrailler, vice president of global products at Corel, said: “Right from the start, vector design software has forced artists to work in a world dominated by mathematics. When you train yourself to think in terms of geometric shapes, polylines, and Bezier curves, the design process can feel removed from where your creativity began – the simple joy of drawing.

“Taking advantage of the latest advancements in Windows hardware and the power of machine learning, the new LiveSketch tool in CorelDRAW 2017 brings the fun and creative experience of pen and paper to vector illustration for the first time. In this new creative environment, technology in effect, disappears.”

Other features include:

  • Enhanced nodes, handles and vector preview.
  • New touch-friendly user interface.
  • Powerful stylus enhancements.
  • Import legacy workspaces.
  • 10,000 clipart and digital images.
  • 2,000 high-resolution digital photos.
  • Over 1,000 fonts.
  • 350 professionally designed templates.
  • Over 500 interactive frames and photo frames.
  • Over 600 fountain, vector and bitmap fills.
  • Expert insights, product hints, over five hours of training videos and more.
