"Great little prog :)"
Version: OpenCanvas 4.06E
Pros
This is a miniature photoshop. As an artist, I can tell you this is a great program to create paintings and CGs with, especially if you are unable to acquire photoshop, paintshop pro, painter, etc. :). It can be used just like high-end digital imaging products.
Cons
LoL the only part of this program that REALLY gets on my nerves, is when using the crop tool. It ALWAYS leaves extra space around the image after cropping!! Grrr. :P

"Beatiful Program"
Version: OpenCanvas 3.05E
Pros
Este programa es bastante bueno para los que cuentan con una tablilla digital, a los ilustradores les encanta, pero es dificil trabajar con solo el mause, y no se mantiene en un rango de colores pes si pulsas otro el anterior no se guarda...
Cons
No es un buen programa para hacer diseños graficos, solo para ilustrar...

"Excellent drawing platform."

"Simple to use, and produces great results."
Version: OpenCanvas 3.05E
Summary
Although I sometimes have problems with it crashing unexpectedly about once a month (save often!) this is most definitely my favorite drawing program. The brush engine is wonderful, creating smooth lines and really reacting well to tablet pressure. Although it may look confusing at first since it's so simple, it doesn't take long to figure it out. Once you do, you'll be glad of the simplicity.
For those learning to draw/color, the single most useful feature of oC is the event file. On the portalgraphics website, event files drawn by other artists are available for download, which is extremely helpful for learning new techniques.
The only thing I would complain about is it takes a bit of extra effort to resize pictures, select/move areas, and layers can't be grouped. These are pretty small issues though. oC is awesome. -
"A very good & cheap alternative for digital coloring"
Version: OpenCanvas 3.05E
Summary
What I really like about OpenCanvas is its brush engine. It really suits my style...
Furthermore, it has the ability to view 'event files' uploaded by other users to view how they did their work. Portalgraphics.net also contains some tutorial to help you start through. A very nice program for coloring. -
"Nice product"
Version: OpenCanvas 3.05E
Summary
Very nice, but also very similar to photoshop... I use it on a regular basis, but can not afford to purchase it outright....prices are a bit much....but still cheaper than photoshop....at about $500....
