I have basic skills with Canva, but I have never used Photoshop. Do you think I should spend time learning and mastering Photoshop to build my graphic designing skills or do you think learning Canva skills will be sufficient for me to become a graphic designer?
 
I've done some pretty cool stuff with Canva and, when I don't really want to spend too much time with the layers in Photoshop, I'll create a template in Canva and then use it. Pretty strong tool.
 
Yes, 8t 8s really easy to use canva, you can start with existing templates, which saves a lot of time, but what about the originality of your designs. Canva templates are used by a lot of people, right?
 
Canva is good for quick design but if you want to create elaborate design and want to create a unique piece, Canva is pretty useless. Canva is do it yourself tool for general people, Photoshop is for professionals.
 
Canva is awesome no doubt, but if you want to take creativity to the next level, then having skills in Photoshop would be recommended.
 
I use Canva when I need quick, easy designs with templates. It’s great for social media. Photoshop, though, gives me way more creative control, especially for photo editing and detailed graphic work.
 
Mastering Photoshop boosts creativity and flexibility, but advanced Canva skills can still build a solid foundation.
 
Mastering Photoshop can certainly help broaden your scope of design especially with the profession of graphic design. That said, Canva is also quite impressive in its own way due to its speed and accessibility.
 
Canva is a good starting point! Photoshop has the capability and it's so easy to use and has such a huge template library. Canva is good for quick and easy design work. Canva might be enough if you make graphics for social media, blogs, or a small business. But if you're going to work with complex designs or at the high end, advanced editing is going to help you a lot if you learn Photoshop.
 
It's quite a dilemma because although you can do the same thing in both, technically you do it in both in different ways because they are different types of controls that are used for the same action, so it depends on the comfort of each user, some will prefer Canva and others will prefer Photoshop, for my part I use both, I don't have a favorite.
