RELATED IDEAS

I am suggesting that Corel should also be working on ways to improve or introduce the following features: Object/Image Linking (fundamental) The ability to select by Control+Shift+clicking on multiple objects from different groups, PowerClips etc... (efficiency) Click+drag image from Explorer into CorelDRAW should retain name of the image and not assign a generic name (Bitmap). This will also help quickly identify objects when using the Object panel (neat) Introduce layer opacity (efficiency, stability + control) Introduce Layer Effects, Blend Modes etc... (efficiency) Introduce a Select Menu (Find and Replace is chaotic as it is) (efficiency & reliability) Ability to scroll in numeric fields using the mouse or the Up/Down Arrow keys (efficiency + convenience) Live feedback when mouse cursor hovers over a blend mode in the blend mode dropdown menu (Photopaint already does this) Ability to use the Up/Down Arrow keys in the in the blend mode dropdown menu Ability to create a group from a single object Knockout effects on artwork with dropshadows and groups with transparency (Lens) Most modern graphic design software has already incorporated most of the above
