Welcome Adobe users! What (supposedly) can't be done in Corel that you can do in Adobe products?

Maybe this isn't the right way to do this (admins? admins?) But in light of current events, there are going to be a lot of users looking at the Corel Graphics Suite as an alternative to Adobe Creative Cloud.

Constantly I hear/read: "But Corel Can't do that!" When so far I've not found anything that can't be done in both programs. I (as do many others on this forum) run their business on Corel applications. I run a family printshop and I take files of all kinds without problem. I do layout (and some design) without ever thinking "oh I wish I had adobe products". If I can do it, so can you.

So here is our opportunity, post what you don't think we can do, and we'll show you how we do it.

NOTE: This is not meant as an opportunity to bash Adobe Programs or Corel Programs, but as a helpful discussion to move forward with tools and training to meet your needs and maybe win a few converts. If you want to be negative, there are plenty of other forums for that.

This post is not going to change the face of the design world overnight, but maybe it can convince some users that there are options out there. Maybe at some point this could get turned into a useful tool/wiki/help file(do we already have a help file like this?).

Points to conceed (I'll try to update this as needed):

    1. There is not native mac version. It isn't happening, or at least not in the forseeable future by those of us that don't work for the company. I'm just a lowly volunteer.
    2. Real-time Warp Brush
    3. Either a better handling of multi page documents OR a revitalization of Ventura as an alternative to InDesign
    4. Envelope tool with text on an arch, inside and outside of arc.
    5. Problems on 'some' systems with crashes in PhotoPaint - I hesitate on this one as I don't experience it and many others are fine, but enough people have reported it to the forum I'll list it for now.
    6. Layer Styles, the ability to see the effects applied to a Layer(object)

      While we can still apply effects to an object (layer), we can't see them individually and turn them on and off.
    7. More powerful Channels. - might need a better explanation.
    8. Puppet Warp.
    9. 3d painting.
    10. Liquify tool (Another warp function hint hint corel)
