When looking at Canvas and UltraPaint you will find the two products
have more in common than they have as differences. UltraPaint is
scaled down version of Canvas 2.
UltraPaint was designed as a competitor to Silicon Beach's SuperPaint,
and as such has much better developed paint tools than Canvas (smear,
multicolor airbrush, etc). UltraPaint uses the drop in tools to
extend the tool collection. Canvas offers many more sophisticated
drawing tools, including macros, non-rectangular bitmaps, 32-bit
QuickDraw, Adobe type-1 font outlines as editable curves (3.0), a
spelling checker, multi-page documents, etc... The UP interface is
cleaner than the Canvas one, IMHO, but such things are a matter of
taste.
I bought UP as an all around graphics creation tool and have been very
pleased with it. The manual is the worst I have ever seen, but that
is another point. For more technical work, I would probably use
Canvas. The 3.0 release is expected to have many CAD like features,
but preserve the free-from nature of an illustration tool.
