Microsoft touts professional graphics tool | |
|
||
| Time: 10:50 EST/15:50 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

Microsoft has released a test version of a new professional graphics tool codenamed Acrylic. The software is based on Expression, the graphics application Microsoft acquired with its 2003 purchase of Hong Kong company Creature House, the software giant said on its Web site. Microsoft describes the software -- currently available as a 77MB free download -- as bringing together pixel-based painting and vector graphics features. These capabilities will put the product squarely in the market currently dominated by software maker Adobe Systems with its pixel-focused Photoshop and vector-driven Illustrator products. | ||

| Good enough for my needs. Price is right too. |

| Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 v2 would put Acrylic to shame. |

| #2 Yeah it's a little odd that they discontinued PhotoDraw and brought out this software that they purchased. You'd think they would have combined them or something (which they perhaps did) rather than just throwing PhotoDraw away. |

| I had a lot of fun with PhotoDraw... was a bit bummed when they dropped it. Expression is an interesting animal, but I haven't had too much time to play with it. I'll have to give Acrylic a whirl. |
