| Micrografx Picture Publisher 10- First Look |
| Page 1 of 5 |
Micrografx's release of Picture Publisher 10 marks the tenth version of the very capable image editing tool. Along the way, Picture Publisher 10 has gone through a few transformations, from a stiff competitor to the Windows version of Adobe Photoshop (Picture Publisher at one point fully supported dual processors running under Windows NT), and the discontinued Aldus PhotoStyler, to a graphics application for the corporate graphics market during the company's focus on the enterprise, to what it is today, a solid image editing application with a bevy of tools not only image editing, but for image processing and management.
Micrografx has targeted Picture Publisher 10 Professional at Web designers, graphic artists, and photographers who need a feature laden application without the price tag and stiff learning curve of other applications. Picture Publisher 10 ships with more than 5700 license free photographs and 500 Web textures, more than 40 web page templates, and 30 interactive wizards and online tutorials.

One note of reference is the fact that Corel acquired Micrografx last summer, and Corel offers a competing program in Corel PHOTO-PAINT. Corel also offers a Digital Camera edition of PHOTO-PAINT, but the company has said that it will be focusing its core Corel graphics apps to Mac OS X users, so with Picture Publisher currently a Windows-only product, and no announced plans to enter the Macintosh market with Picture Publisher, the software does seem to have a future.
With a host of new capabilities to Picture Publisher 10, we'll take a look at a few core features that are new to this upgrade, including PhotoAlbum, Text on a curve, and the various special effects that have been added to enhance your image editing endeavors.
