In the process, I was constantly making comparisons to the most popular utilities and web design programs. Consistently, Canvas 7 was able to create smaller files using similar settings. And the quality of the image was the same or better. The four preview panes, and the ability to zoom in, speed the process of balancing file size with image quality. When you layout a web page in Canvas, you can place text anywhere you want.
Text can even overlap graphics.
And still, Canvas can export to HTML and in a browser it will look identical to the way it does in Canvas. In fact, I'm very proud of the fact that Canvas has some of the best HTML text export, without exception, because it can export colored text borders, background colors, kerning and superscript or subscript text. Canvas is extremely smart when it comes to graphics in a document. Just like text, you can have objects and pictures overlapping in any arrangement you like. That means that there are no wasted pixels, that GIF or JPEG is used when appropriate, and the user is free to create from a designer's viewpoint, instead of a programmer's view.
