    "DESIGNER Technical Suite" Is aimed at 3D Design

    * Corel DESIGNER X4
    * Corel PHOTO-PAINT® X4
    * Corel® PowerTRACE™ X4
    * Corel CAPTURE™ X4
    * Right Hemisphere® Deep Exploration™ 5.5 CSE

    You will want to get "CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4"

    * CorelDRAW® X4
    * Corel PHOTO-PAINT® X4
    * Corel® PowerTRACE™ X4

    Unless of course you do 3D design.

    It’s a great package… we got a copy a couple of weeks ago.

    Just trying to get my head around it after using Photoshop for so long 🙁

    My only concern with it is that it doesn’t run on a mac 🙁

    Yeah I’m going to run a dual boot with it but it’s more the fact that Windows only sees 3GB of ram where as my new mac has 32GB 😉

    It’s a mini mac that I had until today

    Got a Mac Pro….. Today 😀

    Two 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon “Harpertown” processors and ordered 4 8gig memory packs from crucial (£330 each) which is saving a good bit of money…….. thought I might aswell just buy them all the now and get it out the way for future 😀

    Because I’m going to run windows virtually while doing my mac stuff I thought I’d just go the full hog with the memory
