What is the latest version?
|
|
| Greg Smith 2006-08-02, 10:30 am |
| Hi, I am using Version 1.5 of Image Composer. I got it with FrontPage 98.
I don't find it on later versions of FrontPage. I am wondering:
What is the latest version?
Is the product still supported?
If don't, what is the official replacement?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You can change to Expression 3 :
Creature House Expression version 3 is now an MS freeware :

| The official replacement (never officially announced) was Microsoft
PhotoDraw 2000. It came only with Microsoft Office 2000 Premium Edition. Its
second version, Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2, was IMO the only one
worth using. Copies are occasionally available on eBay for a bit more than
$100. It was and is a superb program. The 3-CD version of PD2 is especially
nice.
For more a modern program, close in philosophy to IC15, try Real-Draw PRO,
www.mediachance.com, $55. It has many of the same features as IC and PD,
plus some powerful newer ones.
Another excellent program is Xara Xtreme,
http://www.xara.com/products/xtreme/. It is superior, Xara claims, to Adobe
Illustrator (faster, easier to use, as capable). At $79, it's a bit pricy,
though.
HTH.

True, but I was trying to stay true to the IC/PD philosophy. E3 has nothing
to do with that philosophy and was not even from the same company. (Plus, I
don't like it. :))

| Walter is right, as for those that learned those programs were left in the
lurch. And Phd2 was supposed to be a replacement, but never succeeded in
doing so as it became wrapped up in office software, creating a
conglomerated mess. What is to say coming from MS Expression would not be
the same? It is a crude program compared to Phd2.

So it seems to be an OSS now :

| It's available as both. The OSS version is a work in progress and not very
usable--which is why I didn't mention it.
