Pros

“I prompt a style of clothing such as an 18th century dress with apron and it produces short mini skirts.”

“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. ”

Cons

“I use negative prompts to avoid the constant dismissal of the prompts I'm trying to create and it just keeps reproducing similar images to the ones that do not match my prompts.”

Customer

“The know they can get at least 1 extra years money out of it. How hard would it be to program an email reminder that you have a renewal upcoming? But they do not care, but cause if they know you are going to cancel anyway, they would rather take the money and leave you pissed off.”

“I have the free version and it is garbage, I wouldn't pay to upgrade since it can't handle the simplest prompts.”

Cons

“It is difficult to figure out how to set custom page sizes and magnify/reduce the image to fit the printed page.”

“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.”
