Microsoft Digital Image Products

I am an avid user of the Microsoft Digital Image editing functions that came
with Digital Image Suite 2006 and Anniversary editions. I am the editor for
our yearbook and I have touted the functions in this suite to many novice
users as extremely easy to use and intuitive vs. Adobe products. The editing
functions are endless and each year our committee who works with about 6 -
10 copies of this product create an amazing yearbook that we are constantly
called upon to know what we use to create our pages. Our schools now want to
use the product and I am having a hard time recommending a product that
Microsoft no longer distributes. How sad! Many of the people on my yearbook
staff are familiar with Adobe Photo Shop and I am as well and we find
Microsoft's product so much easier to use for photo editing and "scrap
booking". There are thousands of applications especially now that home users
and educators are becoming more interested in working with digital images. I
think this is a bad move for Microsoft to drop this product line. I
understand that Vista has the library function and an extremely small ...
tiny set of editing features but that is not enough. Microsoft ... please,
please what are you doing?

I have forwarded your message to someone
at Microsoft.

Could you post an e-mail address in case a
Microsoft representative wishes to contact you?

I forwarded your e-mail address. Your feedback
is important and I hope you receive a reply from
Microsoft but I cannot make any promises )

I too have been a huge fan of MS Picture It! / MS
Digital Image for many years and also hope that
someday a quality image editor will be released
to fill the void left by the discontinuation of Digital
Image Suite.

Cheers,
