Adobe can’t buy Canva. They have been trying to release various lite versions of their apps over the years to keep user upsell flow to Creative Cloud suite.

Graphics professionals might continue to be loyal to Adobe tools and keep to legacy workflows, just too lazy to learn new tools. But with AI, it can speed up the transition. Junior designers might not know how to create some of these images, but how about getting them to work more like a human assisted GAN? Picking the images what we like as human and get AI to generate more varieties? Does it matter if they don’t have the legacy workflows and steps to create the same or similar pixels?
