There's a wizard that makes creating drop shadows a snap and another wizard that lets you create text with a variety of special effects, including embossed, recessed, metallic, glowing. The Button Maker wizard reduces the heretofore rather complicated bu siness of creating a button from scratch to a few mouse clicks. You can create almost any kind of button, round or square, in raised, recessed, and shaded forms. Wizards are like macros, except they have dialog boxes for interactive user input. You can a lso tint grayscale images and apply a variety of edge effects to the edges of an image.
Users can also record their own macros.
By default, all the commands applied to an image are stored in the Command Center. If the file is saved in Picture Publisher's native format the list of commands can be saved with it, allowing multiple Undos and Redos even after the file has been saved. Micrografx has packed this version with features geared toward creating and optimizing images for the Web. The Export GIF dialog box lets you designate multiple colors as transparent and even provides an estimate of how long it will take to download the saved file. Copy HTML makes it easy to c opy all the necessary codes for placement of an image in an HTML file from Picture Publisher into a text-based editor in one easy step.
