CDR software is a comprehensive tool that integrates vector graphic design, typesetting, image processing, data analysis and other functions. It is widely used in advertising design, printing and publishing, illustration production, logo design and other fields, and supports the creation and editing of complex vector graphics, page layout, website design and photo editing. In addition to the design function, CDR also has good performance in the field of data analysis. It can conduct in-depth analysis and mining based on customer data, generate customer portraits including personal information, behavior habits, interest preferences, etc., help enterprises more accurately grasp customer needs, and formulate personalized products and service strategies.
Specific functions include:
Pick tool: It is actually a selection tool, and its behavior is similar to the "Move Tool" in Photoshop. In the lower right corner of the tool, you will find various options, such as freehand picking and free transformation. These options enable you to adjust the size of the image, expand or shrink the image, and even create a mirror image with the mouse
Shape tool: This tool will provide nodes and handles on the selected image, shape or even text. Therefore, once a node is selected, part of the object can be bent into different textures, such as stain, stain, rotation, etc
Cropping tool: as its name implies, it will help to trim the selected image, shape or text. It can also let you cut the image like a knife (divide the shape into different slices that can be edited separately), or even erase (use an eraser)
Zoom tool: allows you to zoom to any tiny part of the shape or text being created or edited, so that the designer can correct the difference accordingly
Unarmed tool: This tool is where most magic happens. It has many drawing options and can be used to create and draw any design. Therefore, this tool plays a very important role in the first stage of graphic design
Art Media Tool: This tool is like a hand brush or spray or pen. Therefore, this tool is very useful if you want to create "calligraphy text" or "graffiti"
Rectangle tool: This tool will help to create the shape of a rectangle. It also has the option of a three-point rectangle. This only means that once you have drawn two nodes of the rectangle, just drag the mouse to create a quick rectangle
Ellipse tool: This tool allows you to create an ellipse, such as a circle. It can also use a three-point ellipse to quickly create a shape, just like the rectangle tool
Polygon tool: Basically, the polygon tool is used to create shapes with more than 4 sides. But Corel Draw allows you to create many ready-made shapes under the same title, such as banner shape, star shape, spiral shape, arrow, and square paper grid
Text tool: The text tool here will help you create text characters and text boxes. You can edit them using the properties and formatting options displayed in the toolbar. If you need to create text in table form, you can also use this tool to add tables directly
Parallel dimension workers: many civil engineers and architects use Corel Draw. Therefore, here is a ready tool to display dimensions of various shapes
Linear connector tool: This tool will only help to connect different sides in any shape between sides or right angles, while maintaining side separation
Projection tool: This is an effect giving tool. It will bevel, emboss, shadow, extrude, etc. any part of the selected shape or text being designed
The eyedropper tool: This is a common color picker tool. The coolest part here is the "attribute eyedropper". Therefore, you can also select the thickness, size, and all other effects and attributes of the shape, and then copy them directly into the shape
Interactive fill tool: This is very similar to the normal fill tool, but you can apply gradient and other options here, so you can use its name. There is also a mesh tool. This tool will create meshes around the shape, and then shade each mesh when complex shading or shadows are needed (for example, in fruit or landscape painting)
Intelligent filling tool: This tool will help fill shapes with closed paths. It is very fast to use. It is very similar to the paint bucket tool in MS Paint
It is worth mentioning that CDR is also the source file saving format of the graphic design software CorelDraw. It is a vector file, and the cdr file can be opened using CorelDraw.
