It is amazing how sometimes great products become crap. An example is the fantastic Canvas for Mac, which was awesome up to Canvas 3.5.6. Why? BECAUSE ITS INTERFACE WAS SECOND TO NONE. It was powewrful and flexible, yet utterly intuitive and easy to use. That is the genuine Mac way. The Mac look and feel. That is the Magic of the Mac world that Windows users cannot even imagine.</p> <p>All the newer versions (Canvas 5 to the current version) are awful because they have horrible, cumbersome, anti-intuitive and anti-Mac interfaces. No wonder they were developed first for Windows and then ported to Mac (which is a serious mistake!).</p> <p>So, no wander the Canvas 5 and later for Mac commercial performance was bad. We actually purchased a copy of all those versions to test them, but never used them. WE HATE THEM ALL.</p> <p>ACD Systems, do you want to make Canvas the best selling Mac drawing application? That is easy: just bring back the fantastic Canvas 3.5.6 as a NATIVE application for Mactel (Mac with Intel) on Mac OS X 10.5.6. Of course, it should open seamlessly the Mac Canvas 3.5.6 files. No more. No less.</p> <p>Better late than never. We will purchase a campus-wide license for our University.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/color-palettes#post-44077 Sun, 18 Oct 2009 22:32:07 +0000 timstring 44077@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>I am a remodeling contractor.

I SHOULD be able to draw one side of it, then select a point in the bounding box around which it will flip, then replicate and flip the figure so that I now have the butterfly with both wings extended.</p> <p>Instead, I have to duplicate the wing, THEN flip it, with no control over the pooint around which it flips (it always flips around the centre of the figure), THEN manually position it.</p> <p>This is kind of silly in a program like Canvas which is so sophisticated in many other respects.</p> <p>I should be able to carry out this replicate and flip routing just as I can the replicate and rotate or replicate and offset. </p> http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/the-future-of-mac-canvas#post-31203 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 20:20:38 +0000 mosart 31203@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ <p>I must say hi Mr Winslow,</p> <p>Captain, master-chef, promotech guru.
