Adobe seemed to have met a development bottleneck, that is why you might have found that its many popular apps such like Photoshop are completely refreshing their version number in recent years. Because since the big version introduced 3D features, I haven't seen any significant functionality or usability improvements happened on Photoshop (it even stays in the level of 10 years ago, i.e.: the functionality of Photoshop CS6 ≈ Photoshop CC 2014/2015/2017...). In other words, all things happened to Adobe apps are merely patching in some inessential places. This case, some software developers saw this chance and took advantage of its weak points. One of them is Affinity Photo - which has become one of the most popular photo editing tools now.

CorelDRAW Graphics Suite is a very popular graphics design software with powerful and easy-to-use functions, launched by Corel Corporation from Canada for the first time in 1989. Many magazine covers, film posters, product trademarks, book illustrations... that we can see in daily life are all designed using it. Nowadays CorelDRAW Graphics Suite has become one of the must-have software together with Photoshop for most graphics designers.

Fully functional drawing software often has a very high price, which may be a big burden for beginners or amateurs. And in fact they also do not need too professional functions (like Photoshop), so looking for a suitable tool is often the better choice.
