New and enhanced features
CorelDRAW Premium Members can take advantage of the following new features:
Hiding objects: CorelDRAW allows you to hide objects and groups of objects, helping you edit objects in complex projects and experiment with your designs more easily.
Retouching with the Healing Clone tool: The new Healing Clone tool in Corel PHOTO-PAINT lets you fix imperfections seamlessly by painting with sampled texture that matches the color of the surrounding area. Whether you want to remove a blemish, scar, or unwanted spot, you can accomplish your task with ease.
Preparing images for canvas printing: The new Prep and Stretch docker in Corel PHOTO-PAINT lets you prepare your photos and images for canvas printing in three easy steps. By resizing, fine-tuning, and stretching the image, you can achieve the perfect composition for your wall art.
Custom desktop color: You can change the color of the desktop, the area surrounding the drawing page in CorelDRAW or the image in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, to suit your documents.

The following enhancements are available to all CorelDRAW members:
Enhanced node selection: You can now select adjacent nodes on curves by using the Shape tool while holding down Shift.
Copying curve segments: CorelDRAW lets you copy and cut curve segments, and then paste them as objects, making it easy to extract subpaths or create adjacent shapes with similar contours.
Opening documents in floating windows: When you open documents in Corel PHOTO-PAINT, by default they are displayed in tabbed view. You can now customize the application so that documents are opened in floating windows.
Custom window border color: You can customize Corel CONNECT by changing the color of its borders.
Addition to Insights from the Experts: The Insights from the Experts series features the updated tutorial Anatomy of a Salmon Fly by Aleksy Pawluczuk. This tutorial takes you through the creation of a salmon fly pattern, giving you useful tips on how to draw and shape curves, apply fills, blend objects, and more.
