I think its time for Corel to give us Free Mockups for Stationery or other Product Packaging. This can be a game changer for Corel. at least who has purchased license should able to access the Mockup Library.
Voted. One thing that's changed since this was posted: the cost objection has mostly gone away.
Building a mockup library used to mean commissioning photography — shoot a van, a t-shirt, a coffee cup, light them all consistently, clear the rights. That's why it never happened. With generative AI, Corel can produce those scenes in-house for a fraction of that. The 2026 release already ships the model that would do it.
But the output has to be shipped as mockup files, not flat images. A defined placement area that takes the user's actual artwork and applies the warp and shading to it. Otherwise it's just a picture of somebody else's logo on a mug, and we're back to rebuilding it by hand with PowerClip and transparency.
Which makes this idea and "improvements to working with mockups" — the smart-object request — two halves of the same feature. Assets with no placement mechanism are wallpaper. A placement mechanism with no assets is an empty folder. Shipped together they'd actually change the workflow.
Subjects that would earn their place in production work: a white van and a box truck for wraps, a plain t-shirt, hoodie and cap, an A-board and a fascia sign, an A4 flyer and a business card on a plain surface, a mug, a box, a bottle label. Neutral lighting, no set dressing — for a client approval you want the product and nothing else.
