THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COREL DRAW AND COREL PAINTER

COREL PAINTER

Corel Painter is a raster-based digital art application created to simulate as accurately as possible the appearance and behavior of traditional associated with drawing, painting, and printmaking. It is intended to be used in real-time by professional artists as a functional creative tool.  

The application offers a wide range of traditional artists' materials and tools. With the aid of a graphics tablet the user is able to reproduce the effect of physical painting and drawing media such as watercolor, oil, chalk, and charcoal and color pencil. There are also a few non-traditional items such as the Image Hose, pattern pens, F/X, Distortion and Artist tools to allow artists to apply less conventional elements to an image.

Painter emulates the visual characteristics of traditional media such as oil paint, pastel sticks, air brush, charcoal, felt pens, and other traditional artists' materials on various textured surfaces. Many of these emulated media types work with the advanced features of Wacom tablets, for instance, the airbrush tool in Painter responds to pressure as well as tilt, velocity and rotation.

Additive Color

The additive primary colors are red, blue, and green. These additive colors represent the three main components of white light in the additive color module. Black is produced by the absence of the primary colors. In theory, any color can be created by mixing these three colors.

Animated GIF

A GIF graphic file, which consists of two or more images shown in timed sequence to give the effect of motion.

Animation

Animation is the creating of a timed sequence or series of graphic images or frames together to give the appearance of continuous movement.

Aqueous Coating

Aqueous Coating is a water-based coating applied after printing. It helps the underlying ink from rubbing off. Such a coating can give a gloss, dull or matte finish. It can be applied while the paper is still on the press, or after it's off press.

Bitmap Image (bmp)

A graphic image stored as a specific arrangement of screen dots, or pixels. Web graphics are bitmap images. A graphic which is defined by specifying the colors of dots or pixels which make up the picture. Also known as raster graphics. Common types of bitmap graphics are GIF, JPEG, Photoshop, PCX, Tiff, Macintosh Paint, Microsoft Paint, PNG, FAX formats, and TGA.

Bleed

When an image or printed color extends beyond the trimmed edge of a page, it is called a "bleed." Bleeding ensures that the print extends to the edges of the paper. The paper is usually trimmed to the desired size after printing.

Camera Ready

Artwork or pasted up material that is ready for reproduction.

CMYK

Stands for the colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. In print design, colors are defined as a percentage of each of these 4 colors. For example, the CMYK abbreviation for the color black would be 0-0-0-100. In contrast, display devices (i.e. computer monitors) typically define colors using RGB.

Collate

To gather separate sections or leaves of a book together in the correct order for binding.

Continuous tone

Black and white photographs often contain gradient tones from black to white which are called continuous tones.

Color Separations

The division of a multi-colored original or line copy into the basic process colors or yellow, magenta, cyan and black.

Digital Printing

Printing by plateless imaging systems that are imaged by digital data from prepress systems.

DPI

Stands for dots per inch. DPI specifies the resolution of an output device, such as a printer or printing press machine. Print resolution usually runs from 300-1200 dots per inch on a Laser Printer and 125-225 dots per inch for photographic images on a print brochure.

Duotone

Duotones are made by printing an image with two colors, usually black and a second color. THe resulting image has more depth than it would have had with only a monotone color (mostly black ink on white paper).

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)

In digital prepress, a file format used to transfer graphic images within compatible applications. A file containing structured PostScript code, comments and a screen display image.

Flash

Vector graphic animation software from Macromedia that allows Flash graphics to look the same across all browsers, as long as the plug-in is installed. One of the advantages of Flash animations is their relatively fast download time.

Flexography

A rotary letterpress process printing from rubber or flexible plates and using fast drying inks. Mainly used for packaging.

Four Color Process

The printing process that reproduces colors by combining, cyan, magenta, yellow and black. If you look through a magnifying glass, you'll see that the printed image consists of dots in these four colors. These dots are printed on top of each other, next to each other or just close to each other, depending on the color and tonal values wanted. For example; by printing a blue dot over a yellow dot will give you green, etc. To create the shadows in the image, all the colors (with or without black - depending upon the intensity of the shadow) will be printed on top of each other to create a dark brownish color. The closer the colored dots are printed to each other, the darker it will appear. The further apart the colored dots are printed from each other, the lighter that part of the image will appear.

Frame

In animation, a frame is a single graphic image in a sequence of graphic images.

GIF

Stands for Graphics Interchange Format. GIF images are the most widely used graphic format on the web. GIF images display up to 256 colors.

Overprinting

Double printing; printing over an area that already has been printed.

Overrun

In printing, copies printed in excess of the specified quantity.

Page Layout

An example of a page layout is the pages in magazines or brochures. Every single page layout was created on a blank page by placing text, text columns, images, etc. on the page. The whole design of a single page in a magazine is a page layout.

Pantone Matching System

The Pantone matching system is used for specifying and blending match colors. It provides designers with swatches of over 700 colors and gives printers the recipes for making those colors.

PDF (Portable Document File)

A proprietary format for the transfer of designs across multiple computer platforms. PDF is a universal electronic file format, modeled after the PostScript language and is device-and resolution-independent. Documents in the PDF format can be viewed, navigated, and printed from any computer regardless of the fonts or software programs used to create the original.

Perfect Bind

To bind sheets by trimming at the binding edge and gluing them to a paper cover.

Pixel

The smallest picture element (used to display an image on a computer), that can be independently assigned a color.

PNG

Portable Network Graphics format. PNG (usually pronounced "ping"), is used for lossless compression. The PNG format displays images without jagged edges while keeping file sizes relatively small, making them popular on the web. PNG files are however generally larger than GIF files.

Primary Colors

The primary colors are combined to produce the full range of other colors (non-primary colors), within a color model. The primary colors for the additive color model is; Red, Green and Blue. The primary colors for the subtractive color model is: Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.

Rasterize

An image is said to be rasterized when converted from vector image to a bitmapped image.

Register

In printing fitting of two or more printing images in exact alignment with each other.

Register Marks

Crosses or other targets applied to original copy prior to photography. Used for positioning films in register, or for register of two or more colors in process printing.

Resolution

The resolution of an image is an important factor in determining the attainable output quality. The higher the resolution of an image, the less pixilated it will be and the curves of the image will appear smoother.

RGB (Red, Green, Blue)

RGB is the model used to project color on a computer monitor. By mixing these three colors, a large percentage of the visible color spectrum can be represented.

Saddle Stitch

To bind by stapling sheets together where they fold at the spine.

Screen Printing

Formerly known as silk screen, this method employs a porous screen of fine silk, nylon, dacron or stainless steel mounted on a frame. A stencil is produced on the screen, either manually or photomechanically, in which the non-printing areas are protected by the stencil. Printing is done on paper or other substrate under the screen by applying ink with a paint-like consistency to the screen, spreading and forcing it through the fine mesh openings with a rubber squeegee. Recently, rotary screen presses have been introduced which speed up production considerably.

Difference Between Pixel and Vector-Based Graphics

  A design

 is a combination of words and drawings which is integrated in a manner so that it can enhance creativity and exquisiteness through innovative ideas whereas graphics are a visual presentation of images in print media.

Graphic design

 is the production of images and text artistically and in an appealing style. Graphic design can be referred as a visual communicator in the field of multimedia.

Graphic design can be referred as a visual communicator in the field of multimedia. If someone wants to enhance interactivity in his website, logos and signs or to convey a strong message through brochures and posters then he should incorporate graphic designs in his work

VECTORS

USING VECTORS IN GRAPHICS

Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical expressions, to represent images in computer graphics. "Vector", in this context, implies more than a straight line.

Vector graphics are based on images made up of vectors (also called paths, or strokes) which lead through locations called control points. Each of these points has a definite position on the x and y axes of the work plan. Each point, as well, is a variety of database, including the location of the point in the work space and the direction of the vector (which is what defines the direction of the track). Each track can be assigned a color, a shape, a thickness and also a fill. This does not affect the size of the files in a substantial way because all information resides in the structure; it describes how to draw the vector.

PHOTOSHOP

Photoshop is near-ubiquitous with graphics design. Even if you don’t consider yourself a graphic designer, having some Photoshop skills can really come in handy with your poster design/photo/text/etc. work. And tutorials take a lot out of the learning curve, since you can just follow the steps and get up to speed fairly quickly with a certain technique or style.
