![]() ![]() ![]() I have been using the same version of Image Composer 1.5 for the last 17 years! It came bundled with Front0 and even though I stopped using the webpage app 15 years ago, I continued with Image Composer because it suited my needs - even on a Windows 10 PC (yes I managed to get my copy to install). Xara seems to be able to keep it as a text object and also add effects. In Image Composer, one could create a text object but if you changed it in some ways, such as rotating, it became a non-text object. Xara has so much more to learn that I find incredible and worth exploring further. So I see much similarity with Image Composer. It seems to see the work area as pretty unlimited and one can move/arrange objects backward or foreward. Xara uses the XAR file format which seems a much similar concept as MIC files. ![]() But it works with Adobe layers which are not so intuitive to use. ![]() If you save as say JPG, the objects get flattened.įireworks uses the PNG file format which is very good and Adobe products seem to be able to open PNG files and keep discrete editable objects. One could control objects by moving to background or foreground. This format kept all objects as discrete objects. One could work with the whole work area and then place objects in a central frame and save the narrow result as say a JPG. Image Composer saw the work area as pretty unlimited. So for around $70 I now have it and experiencing a learning curve but I am confident that it is even better than Image Composer. My complex search has led me to Xara Photo and Graphic Designer. So I followed using Fireworks but it is tricky and Adobe seems to be dropping support. Adobe has Photoshop, Illustrator and Fireworks. Windows 10 will not let it install and MS as dropped support. I was perhaps rated as somewhat an expert with MS Image Composer. ![]()
