Illustration: Canvas
by The EditorCanvas by acdsee is a cross platform illustration and graphics application for Mac OS X and Windows
From the Canvas website:
Canvas X is the single most cost-effective, integrated solution for the creation, enhancement, presentation and sharing of technical illustrations and graphics.
Professionals that work with technical illustrations and graphics find themselves increasingly challenged by the need to communicate and collaborate with colleagues and clients on very complex, mission critical projects. To further complicate matters, these initiatives may need to be managed across different time zones, using a variety of software applications, and even different operating systems. In these situations, the collaborative process must be reliable, accurate, flexible, and cost-effective.

I’ve used Canvas for many, many years, and on both Mac and PC platforms, and find that it is an amazingly capable program. The ability to do bit-maps, vector graphics, photo editing, CAD, layers, masks, and some great special efects that not even Photoshop can match, make this the swiss army knife of graphics applications, Add to that desktop publishing, presentation, and web page development, all from one program, and it is really nice stuff. Not for the faint of heart, the depth and breadth of capabilities makes for a long learning curve to exploit all the program capabilities, but worth it. Now if they would just come out with a universal binary….
Seems like after Deneba sold out to ACDSystems, (ACDSee fame), the marketing for Canvas dropped off to nill. To bad….
