I have version 12 and have read somewhere that it's better to wait two years for your next upgrade.
Do you think that version 13 is so much better that I should invest in it?
14 should be just around the corner at the rate they have been changing things.
I have heard that people are still using version 9 with no problems.
Just curious.

Hi Barb,
I just upgraded from v12 to 13. I like the trace function a lot better in 13 but I don't like the zoom out function as well as in 12. In 12 you can hit F3 to zoom out to your previous zoom. I am having to learn to work around that. For me, the trace upgrade was worth the change.

If you're an ARA member, you can get the ARA discount for the X3 upgrade (Corel Graphics Suite - including Draw, Paint & more) for $139.

I guess I will stay with 12 for a while. I still do not have my feet on the ground and do not want another expense if it isn't necessary.
I would like the trace, but I can get along with this one for a while longer. You don't miss what you don't have right???
Thanks for you help and suggestion,
Barbara

I responded to the F3 zoom issue here
I tested it on my X3 machine finally, and it appears to work fine.
Let me know if you need clarification on the instructions.

Hi Barb ... I found the X3 version much better in many ways (many listed on this post) enough to warrant for me the upgrade and I typically don't do the 'upgrade' thing very often on any piece of software. In fact, I had downloaded the trial version of X3 when it was offered and I didn't like some things with it and it even caused my computer to lock up. BUT after reading everything people were saying about it and looking at the upgrade price I just 'went for it' and have been immensly satisfied with it.
Just go to Core's website and check their latest offer for upgrades.. its around $139 or so, plus they are offering some additional software for free. I opted for the version with the disk and it included all the manuals with it.
Good luck!

I will take a look at it.
Haven't made up my mind yet.
