The
possibilities offered by Picture It! 2001 are quite simply amazing
especially when you consider the unprecedented ease of use its web looking
interface brings. Picture It!
Platinum Edition
2001 is
to date, the most complete and features’ rich photo editing & publishing
software you can find on the market affordably priced. The major drawback
of Picture It! 2001 can be resumed in
1616*one
word: enormous! Even games don’t require so much space to be installed,
with at least 1GB of free hard disk space required, Picture It! 2001 beats
all previous records. If your computer has enough room for it, then don’t
hesitate: jump on Picture It! 2001! With such program your creativity will
explode as well as the quality of your documents. Another thing to
consider is that you’ll save some aspirin avoiding the usual headaches the
use of picture editing programs generate. Finally the incredible number of
projects, templates, ideas, pictures, clipart, included with the software
is ice on the cake: with it you’re ready to face every need!
Five
different versions of the software are available:
-
Microsoft Picture It! Photo
2001,
-
Microsoft Picture It! Photo Premium
Edition 2001,
-
Microsoft Picture It! Publishing Gold
Edition 2001,
