For years many people wondered why Microsoft's omnipotence hadn't stretched to image editing software. Picture It answered that question but proved something of a mixed bag. The Premium edition that we look at here is the entry-level product. Silver, Gold and Platinum versions sit above this and offer ever-increasing arsenals of templates and artwork along with web publishing and DTP tools. Interface-wise Picture It presents a clean and workmanlike screen with options ranged along the left of the screen (some featuring nested sub-options) and a gallery of images to the right.

This leaves the greater part of the screen available for the working image. In what we might ascribe as typical Microsoft style the approach the program has adopted tends to buck the trend of other image editors. Whereas elsewhere this has worked well for the company (who have tended to set the standard to which others ultimately concur) much of the functionality proves difficult. For example effects filters can be selected from thumbnails views (a la PhotoImpact). You then set any appropriate tool options and finally make a selection.

Though this methodology works it is not intuitive and doesn't really aid workflow. There is also, dare we mention it, a degree of arrogance in the approach that obliges you to adopt the program's methods and allows no alternatives. The program scores however in its painting tools that offer a range of natural media effects that are slickly implemented.

There's also a good selection of edge effects to help finish an image. Verdict Picture It is a competent image editor that does everything expected of it adequately, but rarely shines. It is more likely to be appreciated by those familiar with the Microsoft Office environment and wanting an imaging tool from the same family. For the same money there are better-specified and better performing solutions. This is not a bad program - it just doesn't inspire. And inspiration is what digital imaging - for the most part - is all about.

If your needs are focused on images for desktop publishing this product is fine, otherwise look elsewhere.

I have an old Dell for which I am trying to conserve memory. Without going into great detail, I have successfully uninstalled several non-essential programs from my computer, and have recently installed Service Pack 3 on my XP. Basically, I had found that I still have Microsoft Picture It!

Photo Premium 9, and I have not used it once, unless of course it provides access to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, but I can do without that as well. What I want to know is:. Can I safely uninstall this program (using Revo Uninstaller)?. Is there a method in which I can find out which programs are dependent on other programs/applications currently installed on my computer?.

When using the 'Junk Cleaner' on Revo Uninstall, I notice most of the files are.db files. How important are they, and can I remove them without damaging/erasing any associated files? I wasn't sure which forum to post this in, but everything relates to my operating system I guess so here it is. Any ideas or info would be greatly appreciated. Quote: I am trying to conserve memory. Should have an uninstaller in the Add Remove programs.

You should be able to uninstall it with Revo. Is not associated with Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. Most programs are independent of each other unless it comes in as a suite of software. So, there should be no problem uninstalling them. If there is a file that is shared, it will ask you during the uninstall if you want to uninstall this file as well, you can always say no. Thumbs.db are safe to remove and you can also keep them from being created in the first place.
