Canvas X Draw (Windows) vs. Corel PaintShop Pro

Best of Canvas X Draw : I recommend Canvas X Draw to students who are pursuing engineering. They provide great customer service. They do offer a non-subscription service which is great for students. The all-in-one graphic design and illustration technically for multi framework Where Canvas X Draw can do better: They have fewer fill options. The offset path function option is not there.

Corel PaintShop Pro is well suited for photographers wanting to adjust photos and also for designers who want to create designs from scratch, working in layers and merging various elements. Due to slow load times, Corel PaintShop Pro is not well suited when you only have a few small tasks to do and when a lightweight alternative will do the job just as well (e.g. cropping and red-eye removal).

• I have the 2018 version and every now and again upgrade ads will pop up in the bottom right of my screen which I find rather annoying
• How to save your work and where it gets saved is confusing. It took me a while to realize that projects were saved in "pspimage" files. The knowledge base article “The Basics Of Saving Files In PaintShop Pro” did not mention pspfiles. They also have the concept of workspaces, but I eventually realized that this is not where your work is saved.
• I find that a tool called paint.net is massively easier to use, but, then again, paint.net has far fewer features. I think an option in PaintShop Pro for temporarily switching down the functionality and interface to resemble paint.net would be a useful feature, so users do not get blinded by the extensive interface.

Canvas x Draw is more cost-effective compared to Adobe Illustrator. Customer service of Canvas X Draw is best. It provides a non-subscription version which is not there in other tools. Canvas X Draw is easier to use and understand than Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. The layering feature is the best for Canvas X Draw

From an ROI perspective, we moved entirely away from PhotoShop because we could not justify the cost vs performance. Corel PaintShop Pro is simply more cost-effective and offers the same performance and tools.
