I have received an e-mail advising the release in july of a new acdsee photo editor,

Is this a stand alone program or will it be a plugin to my acdsee 8.1 ?

Should we expect a lot of new features ? (the examples quoted also states only the tip of the iceberg)

Answer:

The ACDSee team is really excited about the upcoming release of ACDSee Photo Editor. ACDSee Photo Editor is a stand alone program and it will also work seamlessly with your ACDSee 8.1 Photo Manager. You will be able to access Photo Editor from the menus within ACDSee 8.1 Photo Manager.

You can definitely expect a lot of new features! Some were outlined in the e-mail and the rest will be announced when it is released soon. Keep your eye on our homepage at www.acdsee.com.

Does anyone know if I can download Microsoft Photo Editor from anywhere? I just want the old program as it was not included with my new PC.

Reply:

Microsoft Photo Editor is part of Office 2000 and Office XP. It was replaced in Office 2003 with Microsoft Picture Manager.

This is a big deal to some of us. Picture Manager does not provide OLE conversion service as did Photo Editor. So, if you include a JPG in an OLE Object field in Access 2003, hard cheese! It will not automatically convert to a BMP.
