Image composer

[Guest]

What is the successor of Microsoft Image composer ?

There really isn't one currently. MS came out with PhotoDraw, but htat also
was discontinnued. Currently there is no real MS application for working
with graphics such as gif's or jpg's (not including the built-in
functionality in FP of course).

Hope this helps,

At one time Image Composer was to be replaced by Microsoft's new image
editor, PhotoDraw 2000, but this product has also been discontinued

Be sure NOT to use the functionality built into FP. The latest version of
Paint Shop Pro is incredible. Others for consideration are Photoshop
Elements 3 and Ulead's PhotoImpact. This article might help:

If you are running Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 you might want
to give Acrylic a try:

Paint.NET isn't bad either, free, best price. You need Framework...

Looks like Acrylic expires in Dec. though.

That's really too bad. That was such a neat program for quickly throwing
together simple graphics! Photoshop and those others are such overkill for
many applications. Can the version that came with FP98 still be used with
Office 2003 products? Our IT people are afraid there will be too many
conflicts or problems so they won't re-install it for me.

M.I.C will still work....I use it in XP Pro. Have used nothing else since I
started using Frontpage 98.

In my experience, it doesn't conflict with Office 2003. It's a stand alone
product; it doesn't integrate with Office.
Although it used a previous version of the clipart gallery/organiser thing,
it doesn't seem to want to access the Office 2003 version (usually in the
Insert > Picture menu, there was a option to choose images from the clipart
gallery) of the clipart gallery but that's not important for my use of it.
