 Essentials 2 works great for me July 13, 2006

I am an experienced CorelDraw user who needed a budget version at work. I found that CorelDraw Essentials 2 is an excellent little program that delivers all the important functions of its bigger sister. I use it for posters and technical drawing.
If you like CorelDraw, you'll like Essentials 2. If you want to get to know CorelDraw before committing to the full price, Essentials 2 is a great intro to the basics -- especially with the training CD. I've heard that CorelDraw takes some effort to get started in, which is fair; I've used it for so many years that it's second nature to me.
The only functions that I really miss with Essentials 2 are:
- being able to turn off the "select items by clicking inside outline"
- being able to set the drawing scale to other than 1:1

Even for the $50 or whatever I spent on this, this is by far the worst graphics program I've ever used. Utterly counterintuitive, it also does random things during export that I don't care to figure out how to fix. Ugh. CorelDRAW, you deserve to go out of business for releasing such a poor product. I most certainly do not recommend this.
Essentially a Waste of Money September 17, 2005

I was a regular user of CorelDraw 8 for Windows 98 on my older computer. When I bought a new machine, Draw 8 would not work with Windows XP, so I needed a newer program to access and edit my .cdr files. I called Corel Corp. in Canada who assured me that Essentials contained basically everything in CorelDraw 11 (and therefore my version 8). After receiving the program, I found it to be a severely stripped down program, missing most of the essential components of the earlier programs. It is really frustrating when so many of the useful features are "grayed out" or just plain missing. Save your money and avoid this one.

A very good alternative to the complete software package. This slim version is more than enough for home and small office needs: labels, brochures and other printing material.
 What Gives! The Original Essentials Version is better than version 2 August 10, 2005

I have been using Corel Essentials, the white with horizontal blue green box (original version) for quite some time, I decide to upgrade to the "newest version 2". So, I fork out $80 plus shipping. Got it 5 days later; I installed the software, all looks good... then I start using it, standard features from version one are GONE!
There are no upgrade gimmicks or download this or that, they were just simply removed - my most used features!
Unacceptable, I contacted customer support, they were very polite and helpful but recommended for my imaging needs to regress to Corel Essentials, the Original software I had as the new "one omits many features" the second version just does not cut it.
I am just bit dissapointed in the company but though (and give credit where is due) Corel Essentials is so far the Best I have used so I can and wont beat them up too much in their effort to sell less in a "new & not much improved" new box. (every corporation does this - from cereal to soap)
My advise, stick with the original Essentials version and save a bunch of money.
