Hi guys,

I had a photo editor programme before that was my favourite and now i can't find it anywhere. I think maybe it was Microsoft Photo Editor that everyone misses but maybe not, it was about 8 years ago when I had it?

It had loads and loads of tools; transparency brushes being my most needed.

Any ideas would really help.

PSP (Paintshop Pro) was popular around that time and there were free cover-disk versions about. Personally, I would recommend that you transfer your skills to GIMP (free) or bite the big one and go for Photoshop (most definitely not free!).

Microsoft Photo Editor was an ad-on feature included with Office 97. If you have Office 97 disks you can find it but it doesn't automaticly load-you have to pick it from a list of added features. I still have and use it for 80% of my editing-much simpler then most others.

I think it was the Microsoft product if you're remembering the tranparency brush. It came with the MS Digital Image 2006 Editor. I also have the older MS PhotoDraw 2000 Stand alone office component editor which doesn't really have a transparency brush but does have a lot of photo brushes that its easy to customize the transparency of. The former doesn't go back 8 years but PhotoDraw does.

PSP 10 was free for a while, don't know if it still is or not; there was a post in this category I think with the link to get it.

They all work well in Windows 7 as far as I can tell so the future looks fairly bright for these old programs that still retain a unique feature here and there.
