Wrong Venue

[Ed Mullikin]

I know I'm in the wrong newsgroup but perhaps someone can tell me the
correct one if I state my problem: Microsoft used to have a program called
(I think) Photodraw. It is no longer supported and my computer spit it out.
It would allow me to put maneuverable "thought" balloons over a character's
head in a photo which was quite useful for a paper I edit. Other photo
programs will do that but cumbersomely and are not nearly as flexible as the
Photodraw program. Any recommendations?

SnagIt by TechSmith.

Publisher would allow you to do that quite nicely.

SnagIt is a great program. I love it for annotating maps.

Hi!
FastStone Capture.
It is freeware and no-nonsense. As user-friendly as can be.

On the AutoShape menu on the Drawing toolbar in Word there are several
speech and thought balloon shapes in the Callout palette. If your photo is
In Line With Text, format these as In Front of Text.

Thank you for clearing up a problem that I have had with what you describe
in some of my Word documents but I am looking for a "Photo" program that
will do it easily like the old Microsoft "Photodraw". (I think I have the
name correct.)

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Many photo editing programs will do that. Take your pick
