Yes, I know that Paint Shop Pro is being discussed here, but this is my
absolute favorite feature of an even less expensive alternative called
SnagIt ( http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.asp ) And it does quite an array of
allowing annotations, saving in different formats, seems to resize images
nicely and the list just goes on.
After hearing back from so many folks asking how I accomplished the torn
edge effect, I put up a tutorial. I know lists like these get fussy about
posting links to personal sites and I don't want to be accused of trying to
drive traffic to my site. So if anyone is interested, let me know and I'll
openly share the link.
