I'm a 15year + photoshop user. HOW is Canvas Background remover better than PS's own select subject to remove background. I'm working with some intricate clipart to remove full background - I use select subject/ remove background, but still need to refine all the little nooks and crannies, which grated doesnt take long in PS, but I pulled the same image into Canva - hit the remove background tool - and the background was fully removed - clean as a whistle in one second. I feel Adobe is dropping the ball here 😞

Extremely disappointed in this. I am a self taught adobe use and spent years perfecting techniques for marketing purposes. I finally bent to the pressure and tried Canva. Although Canva lacks 85% of the adobe features, it was a sad day when I tried the background remover on adobe PS and canva. Not only was canva faster, it was far more prescise. And now adobe wants rights to users work? Blasphamey!

The Adobe terms were both not written properly for non-lawyers and so widely misinterpreted, and Adobe has clarified them since. Some of the passages people got upset over, like the part where Adobe says “you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license,” have also present for many years in other companies’ terms of service, such as in Section 4a of the Canva Terms of Use:

a. User Content. …As between you and Canva, you own all right, title and interest in and to your User Content. You grant Canva a royalty-free and sublicensable license to display, host, copy, store and use your User Content solely to the extent necessary to provide the Service to you. To the extent you include User Content in a Design that you’ve shared with others, you grant Canva a perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable, license to display, host, copy, store and use your User Content to the extent necessary to continue to make that Design available.

License and ownership/copyright are legally different things. Neither Canva nor Adobe require you to hand over your ownership/copyright.
