Does anyone have a suggestion for a program I can use to replace PhotoDraw?
V2 is now eight or nine years old and I have certainly gotten my money's
worth out of it but Microsoft never updated it since its release. As far as
I know, they don't have a replacement for it.

Check out RealDraw Pro at http://www.mediachance.com. You'll never look
back.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for your suggestion. I've never heard of RealDraw which is a surprise
to me (I thought I knew about every one of them!). Can you compare it to the
new version of Photoshop Elements? (Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.O.) That
seems to be the one that is receiving the best reviews.

RealDraw is a vector drawing program, Photoshop Elements is an editing program
in the style of MS Paint.

Thank you Mary. I really, really loved PhotoDraw V2 and used it for both
drawing and photo editing. I couldn't find a more powerful, easier to use
program anywhere at that time. You know if Microsoft has anything at all to
replace PhotoDraw or has the market changed with all the new competition? (I
think I see a new piece of photo editing software every month).

Serif has some free software. You might try Draw Plus.

It looks like Draw Plus has some nice features but do you know how it might
compare with Photoshop Elements 7?

Here again, Draw Plus is a vector rendering program while I assume Photoshop
Elements is a photo type editing application. I don't remember too much about
Photo Draw, I've always used CorelDraw, but I seem to remember you could do
vectors.

How about you Sekhar,

I have been looking for the same thing. I have been using photo Draw since 2000. I have installed it over and over. I even made it works on a WIN 10 PC but I have to get rid of it. I need to move on. Have you found any software similar to PD that you liked?
