Upgrade to X5?

(1/2) > >>

Homer:
I've been working in X3 for a few years, thinking about X5, is it worth the jump or is it buggy? I was talking to a few guys when it first came out and there wasn't too much excitement about it, but I don't know.  I think it's pretty cheap now too. We just upgraded all the software in the entire shop to the latest and greatest - except for Corel, that's why I'm starting to wonder.

I actually just started working in CD with X5 no too long ago. I never tried the other versions, so I have no basis for comparison. I really like it. So much so that I've shunned Adobe altogether.

There is a dud on eBay that sell full legit retail copies, not OEM not academic and not pirated for under $200.00
Comes with the hardcover book and everything.

Looking.....

I'm like evo went striaght to x5, I went to corel tried sample version and they start sending deals to you when I purchased they offered x5 suite,hard back book,x5 unleashed (highly recommend)swish max 3,videostudio pro x3,website creatorx5, and foxit reader,package deal 168.00 in the box so i always have my disks. They also offer an upgrade since you already have x3 but than you'll have to buy unleashed. hope this helps you out

Jason, X5 completely revamped their color management system.
Be prepared for color issues you've never experienced before.

While I totally understand why they needed to reconstruct the whole shebang, for those of us not dealing with offset printing everyday, it's been a real 'blast' trying to get settings back to where they used to be and what we were comfortable with.
Even though X5 comes with it's own Versaworks Palette, I still rarely use it for production.
Maybe one of these days I'll get comfortable and get it setup the way I want..............but it's not gonna' be today, or anytime in the near future.
Sigh
