Jasc's Animation Shop 3.0 is included free with the software. Educational discounts are also available.

Included with the software are 4,700 stock illustrations, along with hundreds of design templates and 300 high-resolution photos. A Windows plug-in creates a toolbar featuring commonly used features. The software package includes Photoshop 5.0 LE, a design and production tool that enables users to edit, retouch and enhance images. More than 95 special effects filters allow for image sharpening, softening, stylizing and distorting. We end this month's Focus On with two graphic support tools that complement existing products.
