There’s no doubt artificial intelligence (AI) is finding a permanent home in several industries. Whether we’re using face ID to unlock our phones, a web mapping platform to find the optimal route back home, or built-in text editor software to make sure our emails are error free, AI technology is at play. It is revolutionizing the way that we work and how we go about our daily lives.&nbsp;

### Digital Design for a Human World

Society evolves over time. Whether due to social, political, scientific, or technological occurrences, there are significant moments, such as the current global pandemic, that shift the way we collectively perceive and behave. To help us adapt to these shifts, there’s design. Design responds to the changing world and helps us navigate unprecedented times.

Question on: Adobe InDesign
[Will you allow users to edit images later on within InDesign](/discussions/12082-will-you-allow-users-to-edit-images-later-on-within-indesign)

Currently users are not able to edit images in the software.

I'm not sure which version you are using, but I am several versions back. The version I am using is CS5.5 which does not allow you to edit an image much beyond cropping, repositioning, and replacing the image. To actually edit an image you would definitely want to use Photoshop (for photos) or Adobe Illustrator (for graphics), then replace the image within the InDesign document. I hope that helps.

Answered: Michele Maltese on October 8, 2019

yes I agree

Answered: Malesi Kelvin on September 28, 2021

Hi. It can be frustrating not being able to. Edit natively within InDesign. However there is a very good reason for it. InDesign is made specifically for layout. What you see on screen are just generated previews. In larger documents the file can habe hundred or sometimes thousands if links inside. The files would be so large you couldn't work on them. By keeping all of the photo editing to outside software it allows for a lot more freedom and speed in laying out your pages.

Question on: Canva
[Many digital creators use Canva Pro to make products for platforms like Etsy. Is this the most cost effective tool for generating revenue as a beginner or small creator?](/discussions/many-digital-creators-use-canva-pro-to-make-products-for-platforms-like-etsy-is-this-the-most-cost-effective-tool-for-generating-revenue-as-a-beginner-or-small-creator)

I’ve noticed many digital creators using Canva Pro to create templates, printables, and other digital products for platforms like Etsy. I’m curious to know if Canva Pro is really the most cost-effective tool for beginners or small creators who want to generate revenue, or if free tools and basic design knowledge can achieve similar results.

The main rule is that any template you export for sale should link the user back to Canva. So you are essentially selling a link to Canva with the template that was created, and all templates are to be made from scratch. You can use a Canva template as a guide, but it needs to be altered so it is identified as your own, not the original creator's. Linking templates back also ensures that any fonts or elements that were used will give those creators credit and royalties for usage. I hope that makes sense.

Individuals can only sell products using a PRO account if they are a PAID user, otherwise, only using the free elements is how to sell Canva-made products. Users must read the terms and conditions on Canva about selling and profiting from items made on Canva

Answered: Krystal Cornelius on March 11, 2026

If someone is new to marketing, small-business marketing, design, or campaigning, Canva Pro is a must. Especially for those who aren't familiar with all that professionally! When design, branding, marketing tools, and image are all cohesive, it immediately improves the business. Pro also allows you the chance to have a team, which really helps standardize and familiarize the brand. Canva offers all that to its users but when you pay for Pro, you are saving yourself so much legal, design, software, and $$$ headaches.

Question on: Canva
[How has Canva helped you to brand yourself what advantage did it give you?](/discussions/how-has-canva-helped-you-to-brand-yourself-what-advantage-did-it-give-you)

I was doing a trial on digital products kind of testing it out to see how it work was pleased with the results since it was my first time creating my digital product. I will go back and experiment since I have more insight now.

Canva has helped us in creating personalized greetings for our employees’ birthdays, work anniversaries, and special office functions. Instead of spending on expensive applications, Canva provides us with a budget-friendly and easy to use solution. It allows us to design creative and professional greetings quickly, which helps in maintaining good employee engagement and strengthening our office culture.
