Canvas

From its inception, Canvas differed from other graphics applications because it combined tools and file formats for both vector (line art) graphics, and raster (photographic and other pixel-based) images, along with word-processing and page-layout features such as multiple page documents and master pages. The user works in a window which is the familiar "page on a pasteboard" analog used by many DTP and vector graphics programs, but in that window, which might be a single illustration page or one page of a multi-page magazine, book, web site, animation or presentation, the user can create or edit and layout text, vector graphics and raster images. Canvas also emphasized technical drawing in addition to artistic illustration features. ( Edited by DGfromMTL)

This is the software that got me started designing. Super cool stuff, i wish i could get an old version to run on my apple, it would be fun to tool around on it. I don't think i ever did anything really great other than make drawings but i recall loving it.

I think Photoshop had Vectors in Version 7, was that CS it might have been earlier but nobody ever used them when the first introduced it.

Cheers - great minds think alike.
I hear you - it was light years ahead of the competition (when did Photoshop get embedded vectors? CS2? Another program I spent (what was in those days to me) a fortune on.
