The EULA says you cannot use the Educational edition for commercial purposes, ie sell the art you make. So if you like doing this for hobby and projects for personal reasons, the Educational one is the way to go. If you're selling artwork like commissions and stuff, or a professional - get the retail version. There is really no difference in performance or limitations between the retail and educational edition. Educational edition has a splash page during launch telling you this is the Academic/Educational edition.

According to HP, the Platinum editition is 6X faster than the regular one. While this might be true, it is however not worth to pay 50% more. The traditional one exceeds my expectations anyway. After all, at least for myself, an average user of this calculator would not notice the speed difference under normal circumstances. So, my suggestion would be, stick to the older one and save about $23.

It is the same thing. I got dupped into buying the program and the upgrade. I ended up with two copies of the same program. By the way, Sketchbook Pro is a great program. It is extremely easy to use and you can do almost everything the more expensive programs can do for a tenth of the cost.

The 4th edition is only different from the 1st-3rd in appearance, the rules are the same, but for example, one edition has sea tiles instead of borders.This is the basic, original game with a board extension for extra players, which is nice. The other "editions" are variations which simplify the game (family, junior) or change it up completely (Star Trek Catan) - probably not good starting points unless kids or complete trekkies are involved. Then there are expansions which require the core game (seafarers, cities & knights, traders & barbarians, explorers & pirates) and also have their own extension expansions.So yeah, just start with the core + extension.

I am a cartoonist. I have been drawing on paper, scanning into Corel Draw, manipulating and shading the drawing, export as a Jpeg and e-mail it away. Just went to the "world standard" of Adobe Illustrator and having trouble getting up to speed. However, Amazon does sell "Ai for dummies". I got a used one, great price and brand new, and I am starting to make "some" headway on the learning curve. Hang in there, I'm 82. Now I'm looking for a Huion tablet "Dummies" book. Jerry

I'd recommend Corel Painter Essentials 5 because it has a similar GUI to Adobe Photoshop, tons of brushes and other mediums, and it won't break the bank. I have PE4 & I still use it more than Painter X3 (which I also have). If you plan on doing any serious drawing or painting, PE5 is the way to go.

Hi Jeanette, you cannot sell or make money with the education edition. In a nutshell, it is strictly for learning or personal use only.

I never compared the two versions, I used the first edition only because it's more compact, light, less expensive, has built in shade what I really like. I use only on Fuji cameras without worries. I heard the version two also have purple fringing issues with some cameras but visible only on large images, also fringing is easy to fix with the latest softwares like Lightroom. I shoot almost exclusively B&W; so color fringing don't bother me so much. V2 might be more corrected but I can't tell.

I don't know but I suggest that you either call or chat with Corel or try out their software on the trial basis. Good Luck!

Hi I actually have both systems for my 5 yr old. It is tough to say which one is better they are both very similar I guess it most comes down to what do you want your kids to do or better yet what do they like to do? The Digital Arts and Crafts is just that art & craft with their favorite characters the Computer Cool School has some art but also has educational games. My son plays with both and likes both. The only bad thing is that I haven't seen any new software for the Digital Arts & Crafts Studio I hope Fisher-Price makes some more. I hope I helped.

Perfect! If you have not used Corel Draw before, there is a "learning curve". If you have used Adobe Illustrator, using Corel Draw should present no problem.

I use Corel Draw and Photoshop to prepare my files. By that I mean, I create my logo, design, etc. in the program (corel draw) and safe it as a low bit PNG file. Then I go over to the Sure Cuts A lot program / screen and import or place the previously created/saved file on the matt (desktop of surecutsalot). The critical part here is, that sometimes the matt does not show the trace / outline image I created, after hitting the cut window button. So you have to play around a little, go back to Corel and adjust, re-save the pic, etc. And redo. It does work for me, but remember.. the more lines, corners, trickiness your design has, this cutter has its limits. Now if you question is, if the Corel opens or works directly with the Cutter, without the SureCutsAlot software, I do not know or have not done that. All in all, if you are good with Corel and play around with creation - import / paste - trace - cut it will take you maybe an hour to figure it all out. The biggest problem I had, was that if the pic / design is not properly traced, even though it shows perfectly on the surecutsalot matt / screen, It will suddenly cut through the middle of your design / vinyl and ruin a big batch of your material. Which was hard, because I hate wasting material. But if that happens, then the customer service recommends to redo/reimport, etc. But even better to create the design in surecutsalot from the start. surecutsalot does not really offer much design play room, so id rather redo. I hope this makes somewhat sense. I love the cutter for the price. And recommend it. Customer Service is American based and very helpful. I believe people get frustrated with the item, because they do not understand the connection between software and cutter. Good luck

I have versions 16 and 17 installed on same pc with no problems. This link might help from Pinnacle's website. http://corel.force.com/pinnacle/articles/en_US/Master_Article/If-I-purchase-Pinnacle-Studio-16-should-I-uninstall-my-previous-Studio-version?&page=1&topicCategory=INS&keyWords=compatable%20with%20previous%20versions&sb=new&source=kba

PaintShop Pro is Corel's answer to Photoshop. If you want a competitor to Lightroom, that would be Corel's AfterShot Pro. FWIW

The Proessional version contains all the features of the Standard version plus Highlighting features for locating stitches of the sleected color, editing and creating specialty stitches, auto-outlining a selected area using backstitches, a free-hand selection tool for making arbitrarily-shaped selections, and ability to create layouuts using a built-in word processor. I actually orderedthe professional level edition by mistake and then ordered the standard edition. Unless one is especially gifted at designing cross stitch graphs, I think the standard edition suffices for most everything.
