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....
