PLEASE UPDATE PHOTODRAW!!!!!!!!

[Mathmos76]

This program is so cool - why did it not get an update in 2003? Please don't
tell me it's been shelved. It's a great and cheap alternative to Photoshop.
PLEASE UPDATE IT!!!!!

PhotoDraw was shelved as of Office XP.

http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?MSPDV3BR is a petition to
bring it back.

There is a new vector/raster image tool on the horizon. Microsoft acquired
Creature House, makers of the Expression product, and released the beta of
version 3 under the "Microsoft Expression" brand (as a free beta download).

This has now been rebranded to be "Acrylic", a codename for the graphics
designer component of Microsoft's new Expression suite of products, which
will also include a web designer (the next version of FrontPage - the
FrontPage brand is being shelved, too)

Acrylic/EGD is very cool, but I have a feeling it's gonna be too complex for
the average/occasional user..and still leave an unfilled photo editing "gap"
in the product line. And so far it's pixel editing is nowhere near what you
can do in PS.

Are you sure about EWD replacing FP? It seems logical but...
