I might have to consider corel what is the cheapest place to buy and which one

Jenny,
I bought mine from http://www.studica.com/.I got the student edition which has everything you require. I said I was buying it for my son. The total cost including delivery was £101.

what do you use it for,

I use it for templates that I have from Xpres and then I print from Corel as well.

I use photo shop for art work but have been recommend to use coarl for diztise thanks for that tip it always looks so complicated to use and i have no time for night classes like I'd did for photo shop I'm hopeing they are both similar. Has anyone used both,

I've always used CorelDraw and swear by it. Using X3 and just moving up to X4 now. Quick look on eBay, X3 for around £100, X4 for £130/£150'ish.

Check out http://www.lynda.com for some great training.

I'm getting coral draw not sure which one, the latest version I think my bother feeling loving towards me as he getting me a newer laptop as well. I won't be able to use it much as it late night shopping and sundays. So next year will be the time I can get to use it really. Can anyone recommend a good book about coral draw that I can read whilst I'm waiting for the customers not the one for dummies but easier than that lots of pictres like a beano

I'll have a dig around Jennywren, Im sure theres a cheap book out there. Remember it aso comes with a how to book as well as a manual

Checkout the video tutorials above, very good way to learn as you can see what's going off.

Hi Jennywren,

I'm just starting out in dye sub and have also been looking at Coreldraw x4.
There is a Coreldraw x4: the official guide by a chap called Gary David Bouton, to help you understand the software. Basically, forget Waterstones (£35.00) & Borders (25.00) Amazon are doing one for all in at £20.00. The Library is your other option. My library here in Manchester are able to source any book fron any library in the country, thus saving me a small package. They even say, return it when you are ready! See, not just two great footie teams, great libraries too!!!

Cheers.
