Hi everyone.  Does anybody know if there is a version of Microsoft Picture it available to run on the Vista operating system?  I have this great piece of software on my laptop which is XP but it just won't run on our main computer whic is Vista.  It is such a useful programme for editing photos and also for fun stuff, like adding bits to a picture, changing colours etc etc.  I'd be grateful if anyone knows the answer to this because I have searched on the internet to no avail.  Is there maybe the same type of programme for Vista which has a different name?

Thanks, best wishes to you all Maz

Hi Marianne:  I have XP, but for photo tweaking, I use Infranview, which you can get as a free download, and if you're really serious, can purchase the upgraded version.  I'd never heard of Picture It.

Hiya.  I have tried the link Rafal and photophiltre is really good!  I use several photo programmes and this one is really great-thanks for that!  Hi Ruth-I have also tried infran view and that is excellent too.  The reason I have so many photo programmes installed is that I make greeting cards from my photos and enjoy messing around to get effects!  Another good programme is Photo impression which links with one called Funhouse-amazing for say, putting someone's face into another photo.

Thank you all for your good ideas-have a good day x

Hi Marianne, Picture It works fine on Vista but you need an up-to-date version (9 at least). You can find it (as PhotoPremium) in the Works 8/9 dvd package in bundle with your Vista computer.

Marianne,great to hear you like my choice.Is not easy to find anything for Vista.This is still new software and not many programs cooperate with him.

Great you like it.
