Pros

“Mostly I used it for scientific manuscript and grant applications and other graphic design. ”

“I was able to get the whole job done in one weekend and it would have taken my weeks to complete in Illustrator, but I probably would have given up first. ”

Pros

“Its ability to handle PSD files while preserving complex layers, smart objects, and layer styles makes it an indispensable part of my toolkit for quick edits, on-the-fly adjustments, and collaborative file reviews.”

Owner

“The fact that I can access a near-identical Photoshop experience directly in a browser—without any installation, subscription bloat, or hardware lock-in—is truly impressive.”

“The hardest feature is editing filter editing”

“Minor complaints - (1) page setup (sizing, magnification, etc) could be more user friendly/explicit, (2) the latest version of Canvas X Draw (version 7) keeps asking me for my license key, (3) the Auto Trace function is cumbersome and often doesn't allow me to make editable objects from raster images, (4) the latest version of Canvas X Draw (version 7) does not open some previous "Canvas" formats, (5) conversion from AutoDesk (CAD) formats is quirky.”

Cons

“Sometimes it runs very slow, especially when you use paint brushes, the strokes are a bit slow and lagging.”
