> >>This is an outstanding graphics program that can do anything that > Photoshop can<< Oh, OK! :( --Let me rephrase that statement. "I" can do anything with Picture Publisher that "I" can do with Photoshop. There, that's more accurate. The latest version of MPP that I've used is version 8. The program is up to version 10 now, so I'm sure there are features I know nothing about. > Can you tell me if Picture Publisher supports the following: > > Layers Absolutely. > > Layer Opacity You betcha. > > Layer Styles (drop shadow, Yes. > inner shadow, outer glow, inner > glow, bevel > and emboss, satin, color overlay, pattern overlay, Not in v.8. > stroke Yes. > > History (Undo back to 20 steps) Yes. > > Actions (import, export, save, record frequently used processes, and > recall then with a sinlge key stroke.) Don't know. Haven't used this feature in Photoshop either. > > Color Seperation (edit Cyans, Magentas, Yellows, and Blacks > independtly) Sure. > > Channels (blend layers & colors seemlesly to make new images) Yep. > > Masks (edit selections w/o needing to create channels) Certainly.

Seems similar enough to me to make it a very good program.
