freeware image editor

[John Corliss]

I've found gifs useful for certain images I want to put up at my web
site since they are usually much smaller files. For clarity/fidelity,
the images must be of the kind gifs were created for ... large areas
of uniform color ... such as cartoons. But I find they make for decent
clarity/fidelity of screen shots of Windows GUI displays .... like for
creating step by step instructions and the like.

I agree, Art. Unfortunately, my ISP uses it's customers' user IDs as
well as the ISP's domain in the web site address of web pages that they
set up on the server space alloted to them. This leads to enormous
amounts of spam, so I took all my web pages down. This is really the
main reason that I took down the ACF F.A.Q. that I was maintaining. And
since I don't run any websites anymore, nor do I create animated .gifs
or need transparent backgrounds (except for icons, and most icon
programs do this) I've no real use for .gif files.

Good choice! However, note that it will not save to the .gif file format.

Is that a recent change? I have ver 6.2.0 from late last year and can
save gifs.

Email Susan.

The ACF pages have room. Many of us miss your FAQ.

PaintStar

Similar style to GIMP, compact, once installed, program will run
on other PCs if directory is copied.

Have you noticed if you lose entries in your context menu when you
install this program? That is what I get.

Nothing much changed on my rig. All the previous menu items are still
there. If an image is selected, a thumbnail displays, click on the
thumbnail and the image is called up in PaintStar, instead of Windows
picture/fax viewer. Picture viewer is still called up by Norton
Commander, which I use in preference to Windows Explorer.
I installed on another machine by copying the PaintStar directories via
USB drive, so nothing got changed.
