Hi again, dont get me wrong, I love Draw with a passion, having used it for the last 6 years for all my publishing needs, designing cds, posters, mail outs, booklets, brochures etc...and I'm not saying to use PSP instead of Draw, but rather together. Every rastor I import into Draw is edited in PSP.
What Draw does for desktop publishing & vectors, PSP does for webtop publishing and rastors. It stores bitmaps and text vectors as objects and layers (resizable), so you can paste multiple bitmaps over the top of each other or change text and things and still reference the lower bitmaps, even after saving(as a .psp). It then allows many photo quality effects to be applied just not achievable with pure vector, perfect control over every point of color and shadow. Coreldraw and PSP complement each other nicely, I just wish CorelPaint was more like PSP.
Vectors do resize and print far sharper than rastors, but you cannot create vector buttons or banners to put on a website (or in software) that look as nice as you can do with a pure gif or jpeg, though for simple and fast banners I guess Draw is fine.
I just like the right tool for the job.
