FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Deneba Software Showcases Canvas(tm)6 at Macworld Expo
Macworld Magazine Takes First Look at Canvas 6

Macworld Expo, San Francisco, January 5, 1999 - Deneba Software
introduced its revolutionary new product, Canvas 6, to the Macintosh
community today. Released in mid-November for both Mac(tm) OS and
Windows, Canvas 6 provides new graphics software technologies and
capabilities previously unavailable to graphic designers. Canvas 6's
innovative SpriteLayer(tm) technology - which enables users to easily
composite vector, bitmap, and text objects - has already received
recognition by PC Week magazine as "PC Week's: Best of Comdex
Finalist".

The Macintosh market is also poised to embrace the new version, as
evidenced by the February, 1999, issue of Macworld magazine.
Contributing editor Shelley Cryan commented on the value of Canvas
6's graphics integration: "Comparing [Illustrator, Freehand, and
CorelDraw] directly to Canvas is like comparing apples to, well, the
whole basket of fruit. Canvas isn't just a drawing program; it is an
image-editing, page-layout, Web design and presentation program too.
We found that the program's best features spring directly from
Canvas's signature strength - the marriage of bitmap and vector
technology."

Cryan continued, "Deneba's SpriteLayers technology lets you create
some interesting transparency effects that would be difficult - if
not impossible - to make in a dedicated drawing program." Cryan also
noted the enhanced user-friendliness of Canvas and its "spiffy" new
docking bar and customizable toolbar: "We were also impressed by
Canvas's new face-lift, which helps your workspace stay better
organized and perform more efficiently."

In the workplace, Canvas 6 has also garnered praise from Raine
Clotfelter, Art Director at Raytheon in Dallas, Texas. "In the
fast-paced profession of graphic design, we depend on advanced
software and technology. The new SpriteLayer ability has not only
saved us hours of time on illustrating exploded diagrams and layered
technical drawings, but the final product dazzles my customers with
the sharp, clean effects that can be achieved using the transparency
capability." Raine has also realized a significant productivity boost
while using Canvas 6. "I am thrilled," he continued, "that I am able
to complete a job without having to import and export in and out of
three different software packages."

Canvas 6 includes a new 30,000 clip art collection, 2,450 URW(tm)
TrueType and Type 1 fonts and a 30-minute introductory video. At
Macworld Expo, attendees can purchase Canvas 6 for $159.95, or Canvas
6 with two hours of video training for $199.95 (plus shipping and
handling). The estimated street price for Canvas 6 is $375. Before
January 20, 1999, current registered users of Canvas can upgrade for
$129.95, or purchase the upgrade plus two hours of video training for
$159.95. Owners of competitive products can upgrade to Canvas 6 for
$199.95 After January 20, 1999, the regular upgrade price will be
$199.95. For more information visit (http://www.deneba.com)
