Microsoft Pictureit! Publishing - 4/24/2005 11:12:47
Has anyone ever used MS Pictureit! Publishing?
It has lots of very creative tools, multiple save options and is easy to use, yet I never see it mentioned in graphics discussions. Why?

LOL- Great response JB!
"Picture It Express version 7.0" comes free with most of the packs of Avery photo paper in the office supply stores where I live.
I own an older full version (2.0) also but always seem to use PSP, Photoshop Elements. It came free with one of the computers I bought a while back. When it came time to buy I chose PSP and Photoshop Elements. in the verison of Picture It that I had it seemed to be limited in what options could be done- you had to chose from one of the preselected options. Not sure if this is true in the latest version or not. EDIT: just checked out the latest version's ad-- this is no longer true. Gives lots of options.
It's OK and very easy to use, but as JB said, most of us have a more complex package with more detailed options. I just hated the sound effects with every click and never could find how to turn it off.
Seems likes it another option for folks. $50 price range according to the ads.

I did notice too with a little experiment that PiP & MS Office Picture Manager didn't maintain the same image quality after cropping and resizing ..sort of answers the question.........

Maybe, but it was just one instance where there was a quality problem but by and large I've not see many other instances of differenece in actual finished quality, although I've not examined file size issues in any depth
