I have not used either of the two software packages before. Each have good raves for professionalism but I am not sure which one I should start learning. Are they a muchness of the same thing with avid CorelDraw users swung to using Xara X ? Does one favour a particular style that the other does not have ? Would it be pointless in buying both packages if they are so much the same with regards to raw artwork creation. (I am a CorelDraw user who has just upgraded from v10 to v11). http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
