Print & Photo house
John Phillips
I just got my Pen Partner tablette, and it comes with Corel Print & Photo
House. Oddly enough, Corel's site does not mention this program.
Can someone tell me if it is worth installing if I already have Corel Draw8?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Here is some info I pulled from Corel Web Site re: those programs.
It wouldn't harm anything if you install them. If you don't like or don't
have a use for them; you can uninstall.
<>Corel Print House™ 3
Corel Print House™ 3 is an easy-to-use printing
program that’s suitable for a small office or home
office. The software includes thousands of
professionally designed and fully customizable
sample files for all kinds of projects. Every sample
can be personalized with the help of wizards or by
using the advanced drawing tools.
What’s New in Corel Print House™ 3
Updated User Interface – lets you focus on your
projects and tasks, not dialog boxes and menus.
Wizards guide you through design steps and they’re
now conveniently located in the Notebook, keeping
your work visible at all times. Any changes made in
the wizards are instantly displayed onscreen.
Fun tools – two new tools are included in Corel
Print House Magic: the Symbol tool, which makes it
easy to draw symbols such as talk balloons, star
bursts and musical notes, and the Symbol Sprayer
tool, which lets you paint symbols of varying sizes
and colors onto a page.
Context-sensitive Property Bar – displays the
most common properties that change for the
currently selected object. For example, when a
rectangle is selected, tools for changing its size,
position, fade, rotation and corner roundness are
displayed for fast and easy access.

Corel Photo House™ 2
Corel Photo House™ 2 is an image-editing
application that lets you touch up, enhance or alter
an image before incorporating it into a Corel Print
House™ 3 project. Corel Photo House shares the
same User Interface as Corel Print House and
harnesses the advanced technology of a
professional photo-editing program.
What’s New in Corel Photo House™ 2
Updated User Interface – now dialog boxes are
displayed inside the Notebook, allowing you to see
full-screen previews of applied effects. When a
setting is changed, a new preview is generated
onscreen, minimizing trial and error.
New special effects – 10 new effects are included,
for a total of 22!
Drag-and-drop effects – add photographic edges,
frames and objects to your pictures by dragging and
dropping them onto your image. For example, create
a unique holiday greeting card by decorating a family
photograph with clipart and a stylized frame.
Brush presets – use the 25 new brush presets that
mimic real-life painting tools such as paint brushes,
airbrushes, spray paint, crayons, chalk, pencils,
pens and charcoal rubs.
Fun tools – explore your creativity with the new Text
tool and Image Sprayer. Add text to images, and
paint predefined photographic objects such as
butterflies or metallic gears. You can choose from
more than 20 image lists.
Expandable special effects – support for plug-in
effects is included, making it easy to add third-party
special effects to Corel Photo House 2.
Support for pressure-sensitive tablets – use
Corel Photo House 2 with any pressure-sensitive
tablet to give your paintings a natural look.

I assumed they were 2 different things.
Thanks for the info.
PS: Anyone out there have a good idea on how to catalog/keep track of all the
clipart our programs come with? With CD8, Gallery 1, and various other programs I
have collected, I have probably 20,000 clipart, photo, gif and jpg images to sort
through.
