Vector graphics editors are better suited for page layout, logos, illustrations with sharp edges, technical diagrams, and flowcharts, while bitmap editors are more suitable for photo editing, photorealistic illustrations, and drawings made with a pen tablet. CorelDRAW is presented as a graphics editor that supports both vector and bitmap graphics as well as layered .PSD files, with tools for objects, masking, painting, shapes, and managing colors.
