Canvas X Draw Reviews

I've used canvas since Deneba Software developed it. A cross platform, easy to use, raster/vector design package was revolutionary then, and is now. Team supports new tool development, and has my loyalty.

The full package.

My yearly subscription seems to be mixed up, but nothing to do with the SW. IT ROCKS.

This software compares very favorably with CorelDraw but is less expensive and in my opinion much easier to use!

In my business I do graphics or applique's for athletic and travel bags requiring multiple layers. I find the "Offset Path" function sadly lacking. "Offset Path" can only be used for what I consider very simple polygons and not more complex figures such as lettering or anything that has multiple edges/rounded curves, and punchouts. As a result, I also need to use CorelDraw to apply their "Contour" function. Also I find the "Extrude" function in Canvas X Draw unwieldy! In my bag design I like to create a 3-D effect to show clients what their end product looks like! Unless the operator has a good feel for 3-D coordinates this is problematic. I like the "Extrude" function from CANVAS in the '90's where not only could you apply a 3-D effect, but the individual panels could be ungrouped, color applied, and then reassembled into a finished product. Also there is a typo in the "Arrowhead" attributes editor under "Full". It says "Buttom" rather than "Bottom".

CAD file import and postediting in Canvas X Draw document is the most "welcome" in vector illustrating tools market. Canvas open numerous different CAD formats, and you can easily integrate that illustrations in you design.

Canvas X Draw did not support UNICODE ... and it is the greatest problem with all standalone versions till now.

The giving result. Compared with other application this one is awesome.

I like the templates also the tool. It is the best one in the market

Canva: Application for graphic facilitation and creation of digital materials for brand communication. There you can create posts, stories, videos and other graphic materials.

There should be more free images how to resize images

I like its practicality for problem solving

when you need to buy something to finish a project

The software is easy to use and ver complete.

A single license only allows you to install the software on one computer.

For me, I use it for promotion, it has a wide variety of layouts.

More image options. In the version used on mobile it is difficult to copy and paste on another page of the design.

It has many features, including photo editing in addittion to being very pratical end easy to handle

I believe that there should be more free functions, we the availability of good images, wichare paid

I began using Canvas in the early 1980's when it was only available only on the Mac. Eventually they created a version of Windows, and it was just in time, because our firm was switching from Macs to PC's in order to gain access to AutoCAD. I never learned to use CAD, but I continued to use Canvas almost daily in my work as a project manager. I also used it at home on my Mac for creating every kind of graphics design from business cards to business logos to birthday cards to architectural sketches and many others. For a while, they stopped selling Canvas for the Mac, but the company continued to support my copy and even sent me upgrades for free. Now they're back on the Mac with Canvas X Draw, and I'm still a loyal user.

I was very sad to see them abandon the Mac, but grateful for their continued support. I've seen tools for distorting raster images (by pulling at the corners) in other packages, even in simple software aps on my iPhone, so I know it's possible, but it is not available in Canvas. It's their glaring gap. Otherwise, for technical illustration, Canvas is just about perfect.

Mostly i liked it for photos editing. It's really amazing we have lot of options here to make it amazing

Nothing to say here. Everything good and perfect for photos editing. Searc and fillter option helps to finish it neet

Canvas is still what [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] once called the 'Swiss Army Knife' of graphics programs.

When I was first using the Mac in 1995 I was shocked that between Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop it was impossible to actually send a client a fax using either program. I needed to be able to send sketches with accompanying text. Illustrator wouldn't allow me to enter pixel based images, and when it eventually did I couldn't edit them, and working with type in Photoshop was, and still is, an unintuitive nightmare. Canvas solved that problem brilliantly, allowing me to both edit pixel images and work with blocks of editable text.

Here's a more recent example: clients often send me as a PDF complete designed layouts of packages that need me to add an illustration. If I attempt to open them in Illustrator I'm told I can't because I don't have the fonts. But the default in Canvas has always been to ask if I'd like the fonts converted to outlines, which I immediately do, allowing me to place pixel images that I can still edit in Canvas in the layout and email it back exactly how it will look printed.

Canvas has saved my skin in many other ways as well with its willingness to open and edit such a big variety of files.

The vector tools aren't quite as useful as those in Adobe Illustrator.

Is a cooky cutter knife to annotate many types of files and change them from one format to another

I am an old Canvas using before you bought it. I have a very old version running in VM with on an old MacOS server. It allows me to use the included clip art CDROM that was provide with the original Canvas before you bought it. I like some way to access this from you version.

You do not have an Adobe AI import/export or an eps output. This is useful to embed object graphics in work processor documents (e.g. pages).

I liked the fact that it is easy to use.

More tools and features could be added.

Very intuitive tools, nice presenation

And the user base was easy to access and to deauthorize/authorize.

Deinstalling older versions was not easy to do.

I have used Canvas since version 1 on the Mac back in the early 90s.
Could not live without it.

Subscription model. I subscribed in order to export all documents to switch to a competition product that is not under subscription.
