| I agree with you whole heartedly.
I first found out about IC when I installed it from the
FP98 CD when the cd first came out.
IC was my first program to learn about true graphics
editiing/creating and I don't mean re-sizing and
cropping. It tought me about all the essential things.
I have been using Photoshop for the past two years but I
still use IC when I want to do something quickly (almost
everything in PS takes many more clicks than IC).
If M$ does release IC to the public domain then I'll be
one of the first to offer support to those who need it.
Long live Image Composer!
