PaintShopPro
Paintshop Pro is one of the best webgraphic programs available. The
price is outstanding, the program is easy-to-understand and easy to work
with. Available in limited time shareware and downloadable from their website.
MS Image Composer
The Image Composer is Microsofts answer to photo-shop type imagery.
Lots of filters, add-ons, bells, whistles and options make it a nice program.
Has medium range understandability and a nice tutorial to help you learn
your way around. New Beta edition is available for free download.
MS
Gif Animator
FREE! MS Gif Animator is a simple-to-use, easy-to-understand and very
functional animator. Downloadable from this site.
Sausage Software
Sausage offers a variety of graphic-enhancing programs. Mostly by use
of java applets and scripts you can use their shareware/software to create
pushable buttons, animations, sounds, and other fancy features for your
webpage.
Gif Con
Gif Construction Set is also a fully functional animator. Easy to use
and understand.
Neopaint
Neopaint is a great paint program for children and adults that want
to explore computer painting. There are lots of features (lines, starburst,
patterns), filters (blur, acid rain, sepia), and several pallatte choices
too. This is primarily a.bmp and pcx editor and doesn't save to GIF, but
images created in this format can be converted to GIF later. It's a nice,
simple program that seems elementary but has features that make it more
than that.
Microangelo
Microangelo is one of the most well-rounded icon programs I've run
across. Seperate utilities included in this shareware package are all valuable
tools. The 256-color-editor is used for creating desktop icons and cursors.
An animator for creating animated cursors. A browser for viewing all your
icon/cursor files and even an Engineer program that will install icons,
system icons, and cursors into your WIN95 desktop without the use of Plus!
Those of you new to graphic making would be well-served to try icon-making
first. It's fun, it's simple and you can learn a lot about image-making
practicing with icons. Shareware is downloadable from their site.
Crystal
Impact
Crystal Impact is a new 3D software Demo just being released on the
internet. I haven't actually tried the program (it's a very large program),
but according to the company, the program can create 3D text, logos, videos,
banners, stills and animations, and it's simple to use. If you happen to
try it out, let me know what you think!
WebImage
WebImage is another try-before-you-buy program available for download
at their site. The package includes a graphic editor, a viewer/converter
and a library utility. I haven't spent a great deal of time playing around
with it yet, but so far it seems simple, easy to understand and has a lot
of features. The editor also creates transparent gifs, animated gifs, and
image maps! They've got it all. The good news is that IF you decide to
register the software it's only $39.95!
