Has Microsoft come out with a newer or better version of Photo Draw since
2000? If not, what is the recommended alternative for a replacement?

As the link Carey posted explains, Photo Draw has been discontinued.

I don't know if there is a recommended image editor, and I have to confess
that, even if there were, I probably wouldn't recommend it simply because
Microsoft seems to switch "preferred" image editing programs with every
version of Office.

I'd probably go with something like Adobe Photoshop Elements instead.
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopelwin/main.html In the past I would
have recommended Paint Shop Pro by JASC, but I don't know if it's still good
or not since Corel bought it.

Both of these products have free trial downloads -- I'd try them both and
see which best meets your needs and is easiest for you to use.

Hi Merriv,

You may want to drop by the Photodraw newsgroup (link below). Realdraw
is one package that several of the Photodraw users have switched to
http://www.mediachance.com/realdraw/ http://realdrawcafe.com/ (tutorials/samples)
and then the new Microsoft graphics apps might be worth a look
as well.
