High quality output is a necessary feature of desktop printing software. Professional typesetting software should not only be able to import and use commonly used text and image formats, but more importantly, it can generate pages with resolution above 1200dpi, or generate halftone screening pictures or color separations with the number of lines above 100. PageMaker is the first typesetting software that can print on the desktop. It uses PostScript page description language to describe graphics perfectly and generate high-quality output files. ?

Painter?

Painter is a leading drawing software in the field of graphic design. Its main function is to imitate realistic tools and natural media for creative work.

Corel Draw series software packages include CorelDraw, CorelPhotoPaint and a series of auxiliary tools, which can complete the whole process of a work from design, composition, sketch, drawing and rendering. CorelDraw is the core software in a series of software packages, and it can focus on plane vector drawing in its integrated environment. In CorelDraw's workspace, you can create multiple independent or related pages, and multiple layers can be created in each page. Each layer can draw and insert multiple objects or object combinations composed of several objects. Each object (lines, geometric figures, texts and various vector objects with special effects, all objects directly drawn by CorelDraw or its early versions) is composed of vector information, so it is free to perform deformation operations such as scaling and rotation without losing its accuracy. Therefore, users can accurately set the size and relative position of objects in CorelDraw's workspace, perform operations such as deformation, combination and decomposition, and apply various special effects without reducing the resolution of the final output graphics. ?
