Label My Food

Would you buy battery farmed eggs from a shop or supermarket?
Probably not.

Yet restaurants and cafes use battery-farmed eggs every day in cakes, mayonnaise, fresh pasta, and many more dishes, without telling you. If they were labelled ‘made with battery-farmed eggs’ would you still want to eat them?

If you care about what goes into your food and where it comes from then Label My Food needs you.

Label My Food is an exciting new campaign encouraging restaurants, pubs, cafes and all other food outlets to dramatically improve the information they provide to customers on their menus.

Whether it is animal welfare, the environment, a food allergy, your religion or just a general interest in food that motivates you, please show your support.

5 out of 5 stars Corel X3 - No-brainer   November 1, 2008
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I know that nothing will persuade die-hard Adobe Illustrator / Photoshop supporters to abandon their favorite software, but when you see what you get for 100 with Corel X3, when compared to about 1000 for the Adobe equivalent, the case is made, at least for me. I have to spend my own money when I buy software software.

Having used earlier versions some years ago, I found X3 easy to use and very stable in Win XP. Newbies should expect a steep learning curve, but that is only to be expected with software of this power and capability. Perseverance pays off, and once the initial effort is made learning becomes faster and easier.

I frequently prepare detailed sketches and scale technical drawings, and I find the ability to work exactly to scale, and to trace elements of other drawings very useful.

All in all it is a hugely useful tool, and an absolute bargain at the price.




5 out of 5 stars now CorelDraw X3 - it just gets better   October 16, 2008
 8 out of 9 found this review helpful

I have used Corel since CorelDraw 3 (the first really useable version despite the frequent crashes), and have upgraded through CorelDraw 5, 7, 9, 11 and now use X3. I have used other drawing software including Serif and Adobe Illustrator, but for a PC drawing vector drawing package there is no real rival for usability and versatility.

The accompanying Corel Photo-Paint is excellent for photo editing - I use it in preference to Adobe Photoshop CS2, although occasionally use Photoshop when on the rare occasion it offers something not so easily done in Photo-Paint.

For me there is no choice - CorelDraw, it just gets better each time.



3 out of 5 stars doesn't export to web formats well   December 3, 2007
 7 out of 14 found this review helpful

Try making a button for a web page and exporting it using Coreldraw X3. It's a very frustrating process. The background that should be transparent isn't and neither is the circle shape of the button round. Useless. Does other things well enough but certainly has serious flaws with regard to web graphics. I wonder if I could have bought something better.
Also the Corel website does not allow an open forum for purchasers. Draw your own conclusioms.



5 out of 5 stars Simply the Best   February 13, 2007
 22 out of 25 found this review helpful

Corel Draw is without a doubt the most efficient and best organized graphics package around for creating and editing both vector and bitmap images. Thanks to their exceptionally intuitive and logical user interfaces, one can get up and running with both Corel Draw and Photo Paint programs in record time. The help functions and tutorials are rich and actually give answers to real questions a beginning user may have. The most impressive part of Corel Draw is definitely its' user friendliness despite of being a highly capable graphics editor package which tends to mean complicated and hard to learn.

Before ordering Corel Draw, I actually tried it with a few competing programs like Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Corel's Paint Shop Pro. While theoretically very powerful tools for either vector or bitmap graphics, in my evaluation the other three were all way behind Corel Draw. Adobe's (both) learning curve is steep and theoretically powerful functions are so well hidden and poorly arranged that it is very frustrating trying do anything but very basic things. Definitely no productivity there for a beginner. Paint Shop Pro was not that bad, but it is a resource hog and, at least in my computer, turned out to be buggy and crashed regularly.



5 out of 5 stars Does everything a graphics package should   November 3, 2006
 40 out of 42 found this review helpful

I am a University student studying multimedia and website development,and so am being prompted to concentrate on illustrator, photoshop and flash,but I keep reverting to producing my graphics on my old favourite- Coreldraw,and I keep on scoring higher than the rest of them.That`s because I began with Coreldraw8 years ago and have continued to upgrade as time went on.This latest release Coreldraw X3 just gives the designer every imaginable tool to work with.The new powerTRACE in particular really allows so much flexibility in taking a client`s existing,inevitably bitmapped imagery,and presenting it back to them in ways that they never imagined previously.The text capabilities are as versatile as you can imagine,and page layout is easy and yet professional.The increased compatability means that you can export and import work between such a diverse range of products that there are no bounds in terms of print or web,photo or animation that you can`t cross.
This is an easily mastered package that nonetheless produces powerful and versatile results no matter what the area of interest in graphic/photograhic or animation production.
I use a number of packages at the moment but this is and will always be my favourite and preferred package.
