对于任何一个设计人员，Canvas 都非常有用。它在剪辑图库上捆绑了用于位图编辑、展示、Web图形和导航图绘制的工具。这种大集成形式的设计使Canvas变得非常实惠：价格比Adobe Illustrator便宜25美元。另外，Canvas的各种工具工作起来十分协调，来回切换十分简单。因此，如果你正在寻找一种简单易用的综合图形软件包，Canvas可以真正地让你实现物超所值。如果你对Canvas在Web上的应用比较感兴趣，可以去看看Builder.com的评价。

可调节的界面学会使用Canvas简直是轻而易举，你只需要打开这个程序，选择要创建的项目类型－－插图、出版物、动画或者是展示，然后Canvas就会自己把相应的模板和工具拉到屏幕上。Canvas的小型工具板节省了创作时的屏幕空间，展开板上的各个按钮又能看到大量的选项子集。如果你已经熟悉了Adobe的产品，那你可能会不太习惯Canvas斯巴达式的界面，但我们认为这款软件设计精良，压缩性和可定制性都比较强。

Canvas那组强大的技术绘图工具是它最大的特点。在Canvas中你能找到CAD样式工具常用的补充软件，如Fillet和Trim。但是，和传统的CAD工具不同，Canvas的工具相对而言更容易使用，这主要归功于他们内置的咬合功能。例如，如果你想把某一对象放到圆的正中心，那你只需要在中心位置附近绘制该图形即可，它会自动移到中心位置的。咬合功能节省了不少矢量绘图计算工作。

时髦的特殊效果像它的竞争对手一样，Canvas捆绑了一系列的成像过滤器（Canvas称他们为SpriteEffect），如模糊和纹理。不过，Canvas的过滤器还有点特别，那就是应用了特殊效果后，Canvas的图像还可以继续编辑。最令人心动的是，Canvas让你能够在选定图像的某一部分上使用透镜工具，并在那里应用SpriteEffect。这时，过滤器只在那一位置出现。毫无疑问，这是吸引注意力的一种极佳方法。

就375美元这个价位而言，Canvas的确可以称得是一笔上算的投资。这一大集成的软件包最大可能地囊括了所有做图软件的功能，并且集成地相当完美。对于想一次得到所有可用工具，但又不想花费太大的图形制作专业人士来说，Canvas是一款必备的软件。
