ABOUT ZONER DRAW 5

Zoner Draw 5 is a vector graphics editor. We designed it for the widest

possible range of uses—as the kind of program that deserves a place on

any computer. With its simple and well-organized interface, designed

around the principle of reasonable and su cient controls (enough to

do what you need, yet not so many as to be confusing), the program

is aimed primarily at ordinary users with a basic knowledge of Win-

dows; users need not understand work w it h g raphics before sta r t ing to

use Zoner Draw. Yet at the same time, with every new version, Zoner

Draw’s capabilities come closer to those needed for fully professional

work. It will meet all your graphics needs, from creating simple signs

and banners to drawing complex illustrations. Use it to create eﬀ ective

promotional materials and leaﬂ ets, business cards, price lists, letter-

heads, maps, signs, postcards, greeting cards, etc. It can also be used

to create Web graphics.

What, and for whom,

is Zoner Draw?

Zoner, Inc., the producer of Zoner Draw, is known as a producer of qual-

ity so ware for graphics, multimedia, and e-commerce, and in recent

years especially as a producer of so ware for digital photography. Its very

ﬁ rst graphics editor, Zebra—all the way back in the days of DOS!—was

renowned among users and experts alike. It continued with a Windows

version of this editor, followed by its ﬁ rst modern editor, Zoner Callisto,

later renamed to Zoner Draw. Over the years, this graphics editor has

also acquired renown among users and received numerous awards.

Above all, in 1998, Zoner Callisto 3 gained the prestigious Finalist Best

of Show award at the world’s largest IT fair, CeBIT ’98 in Hannover,

Germany, for its excellent Internet graphics capabilities.

Company history and

experience

INTRODUCTION

Zoner Draw 5 aims to continue in this tradition of successes. e new

features in this version reﬂ ect the experience our development team

gained during the development of Zoner Photo Studio, a comprehensive

digital photo processing program, which ties into its equally successful

predecessor, the Zoner Media Explorer series.

The competition

As in all ﬁ elds of l i fe, t here is competition in the ﬁ eld of graphics editors.

e most well-known graphics editors in the world are Corel DRAW

and Adobe Illustrator. ese a re ver y h ig h-qua l it y produc t s f rom st rong

and experienced ﬁ rms, and are very useful for professional graphics

design. On the other hand, ordinary computer users, who will never

use the full range of these products’ functions, must still pay full price

for them, and these programs also have very high minimum system

requirements—sometimes requiring users to invest more in their

computers just for the sake of a single program.

Zoner Draw 5 is a program aimed at ordinary users—it closely ap-

proaches the vector graphics capabilities of the editors mentioned above,

but with lower demands on users’ hardware and a very acceptable price.

For registered users, we also guarantee technical support, which users

of all previous versions have greatly appreciated.

Design aims of

Zoner Draw

e latest version of Zoner Draw is a large step towards a professional

graphics program—it oﬀ ers more features and many new tools and func-

tions for working with vector objects, and the quality and variety of import

and export ﬁ lters has improved. Many new features in Zoner Draw 5 arose

based on comments and suggestions from users of previous graphic editors

produced by Zoner, and previous versions of Zoner Draw (and Callisto).

Dear users, we will be grateful when you, too, send us comments and sug-

gestions regarding the program that you now own.

ZONER software wishes you pleasant work with Zoner Draw 5.
