The Bottom Line	CorelDraw Graphics Suite X3 is a powerful and feature-rich bundle appropriate for home, business, and professional graphics.	Mid- to high-level graphics professionals will like this package, but it's overkill for just touching up photos and drawing organizational charts.	Though it remains an excellent vector drawing tool, there's not a lot in Adobe Illustrator CS3 to compel CS2 users to upgrade.	If you're interested in digital artistry, you need Painter, though you'll pay a lot for this upgrade.	CorelDraw is the easiest illustration program to master, and it ships with a superior interface and feature set. This is the best choice for novice-, intermediate-, and pro-level artists who don't need speed.
