2. Working with Objects:

• Basic Shapes: Drawing rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars, spirals, and predefined shapes.
• Line and Outline Tools: Drawing lines, curves, and freehand shapes. Formatting outlines (thickness, style, color).
• Object Selection and Manipulation: Selecting, moving, copying, duplicating, deleting, sizing, scaling, rotating, and mirroring objects.
• Object Organization: Grouping, ungrouping, combining, and breaking apart objects.
• Object Ordering: Arranging the stacking order of objects.

In Summary:

• Photoshop is primarily focused on raster image manipulation, photo editing, digital painting, and creating graphics with pixel-based precision.

A course covering both would provide a strong foundation in visual communication, allowing you to work with different types of graphics and choose the right tool for the specific task. You might learn how to integrate the two programs, for example, by creating vector logos in CorelDRAW and then enhancing them with raster effects in Photoshop, or by preparing images in Photoshop for use in CorelDRAW layouts.
