Hi All,
Right then this might have been answered in other threads but I have read everything I can in here and elsewhere online and I am still confused and don't want to waste any money. I am about starting to buy my equipment to start my business in the new year and the whole CorelDraw vs Photoshop topic is blowing my mind. I know the basic difference, 1 edits photos while the other is more for drawing (logos etc). One is Raster, One is Vector but can I only use one for Sublimation and Vinyl printing? If so either or is one going to be better than the other for the main chunk of my business? Can Corel edit pictures and can Photoshop draw?
It seems people have favourites and in doing so they tend to diss the other one so you have 6 of one, half a dozen of another. Can I buy Corel and PS Elements or Corel and use GIMP instead of PS. Or I pay monthly for PS and leave Corel?
It's hard enough trying to figure out what computer I need to buy to make sure the hardware can cope with either software package but I need to get this sorted so i can move forward with my other purchases. Corel is £450 in one go, Photoshop is £45 p/m approx now I still have a fulltime job so my general wage could pay for Photoshop whereas Corel would come out of my business budget which is £4500 to get me up and running.
Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
