Both Mavic 2s feature a 3-axis gimbal and fold to just 91mm wide, 84mm tall and 214mm long with a battery and props fitted, so are nearly as portable as the Air (or Anafi) and far more so than DJI’s next step up, the Phantom, which does not fold. or the 20-megapixel camera with 1-inch sensor which is undoubtedly in a class above other drones of this size. The Mavic 2s, though, undoubtedly do offer more for that significantly higher price than either the Air or Anafi. In practice there isn’t a lot else out there offering this level of quality and portability you should also consider the Parrot Anafi - cheaper than the Air, but with zoom and a clever gimbal - but that’s about it. Customers have a real choice facing them, even if they discount other manufacturers from their consideration (which is quite possibly what DJI had in mind). The Zoom on the left, the Pro on the right.Īt least, now, the Mavic line-up is logical: We have ‘Air’, ‘Zoom’ & ‘Pro’-cheap & portable, prosumer functionality & professional quality respectively. The Pro model carries a slightly higher price tag, check current pricing below. It retains the ‘Pro’ moniker for the pricier model – which gets a 28mm EFL fixed camera with a 1-inch sensor and Hasselblad branding – while a Zoom model has a 2x optical zoom lens coupled to a smaller 1/2.3-inch sensor. After some embarrassing false starts, the Mavic 2 is now on sale too. Or, three, really, since the Mavic name is also applied to the Mavic Air, launched earlier this year with a fresh new compact airframe, smaller battery and more ‘selfie’ modes than the original Mavic. Windows 10, Windows 8.The DJI Mavic 2 splits the ‘Pro’ line into two.We really wish you could buy CorelDRAW on its own, perhaps for the same price as a one app Adobe subscription, as it’s a very powerful app. And in all honesty, it’s even harder to recommend CorelDRAW on its own over Affinity Designer, for its price to features ratio. If you need to do a job that’s going to be worked on further in say, Illustrator, there’s always going to be a discrepancy of file and your client may not appreciate that. It’s difficult to recommend it over Adobe’s suite of tools due to the omnipresence of Big A. Whilst CorelDRAW itself is going to be the app that perhaps makes you reach for your credit card, the entirety of this suite is pretty good value – just look again at the extensive list above if your eyes can take it. If you own a previous version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite you can upgrade for £300. It’s worth noting that Corel is offering two ways to pay for the software – an Adobe CC-like subscription that will cost you £30 per month, or a one-off licence for £600. How useful most of it will be to you is another matter.

New in this version is a Healing tool, which enables the quick editing of blemishes a Perspective correction tool that gives you a grid-based dialog to fix distortions in photos and a Gaussian Blur lens – a paintable mask that enables you to blur areas of your images non-destructively. As are the tools, in fact, as they share many similarities with Adobe’s behemoth. It’s actually a very capable alternative to Photoshop, and if you’re switching over the interface is easy to adapt to. It’s worth mentioning the other tools in the suite, most notably PHOTO-PAINT 17. ![]() More intuitive interactive sliders for gradients, blends, transparency and so on wrap up a decent release – but it’s really the LiveSketch tool that steals the limelight.
