~ PhotoDraw Screencasts ~

PLAYlist of Many Screencasts showing the
PLAYful, PLAYflow of Image Composition
in Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2 :

You can .CONTROL. your navigation through
the films in this YouTube Channel Playlist ->

~ "It's like watching paint dry" ~ (virtually and
virtually - thus it's like watching (like)-paint
dry ((not dry) because it's dry already)).

~ My Favourite Program ~

I am so unendingly fond of Microsoft's
elderly but ever-excellent .image. editor :
.PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2.tthat,
close to the tenth anniversary of its
release, I felt compelled to post an appeal
that its makers
(and sadly breakers)
might relent from their
.art.less, heartless, senseless, cents-less
.UTTER REJECTION OF THEIR BRIGHTEST BABY.
and revive the powerful program for a new
(and all future) generation(s).

Complete with .SCREENCASTS. not gathered on
this page, that "Reactionary Rant" (plus diversions
YOU won't predict (think unTony Hart-less boomers,
broomers, puppets, peasants and calligraphic
Queens (for clues))) may be seen
with a [QUICK CLICK !]
(to steer) ---> [HERE] <--- .

~ PhotoDraw 2000 V2 Screencasts ~

Meanwhile, collected here
(not [HERE]) (that's [THERE] (!))
within a <screen scroll>'s reach, are :

"The Seven (Sainted ?)
(St)Ages of Bruce Forsyth"

These show .the evolution of a single.
.image. and follow a recently re-discovered
Blog Post that pre-dates my "Reactionary
Rant and Screencasts about PhotoDraw" and
shows a .still. still to illustrate how and why
.PhotoDraw. is still so dear to me.

[BLOGGED] May 28, 2009

This is a .SCREENSHOT. showing the
{{{ COMPLETE FREEDOM }}}
afforded by Microsoft's
<affordable when it was available>
.PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2..

"Tyger" Project Snooker Eyeballs PhotoDraw Master Board

Its “Desktop” is just like a .real-world. table,
letting you <plonk all of your .arty. assets>
{{{ WHEREVER YOU PLEASE }}}
in readiness to duplicate, modify,
group/ungroup and re-arrange them
with .extreme ease and immediacy..

~ In-Yer-Face Interface ~

The <in-yer-face interface> is NOT
[RESTRICTIVE !] and cramping (plagued with
.crap. dials, hidden menus and buried filters)
like Adobe's <industry darling> .Photoshop.,
doesn’t [FORCE !] you to <<squint>> at
chequerboard backgrounds (a la .Fireworks.)
or [TRAP !] trap you into layers. In contrast to
Corel’s .Painter., you can export transparent
gifs very simply with just two or three [CLICK]s.

~ Microsoft Image Composer ~

.PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2. grew from
.Microsoft Image Composer., "Composer"
being the perfect DESCRIPTIVE title to
express (even more than "Expression")
what the SUPERB software could do.

~ a.k.a. : "m.i.c." ~

a.k.a. : "m.i.c.", .Microsoft Image Composer.
was the first package I encountered (Oo-er !) that
NAILED web-.graphics. and freed us all
from really shabby (animated) gifs that
could only be generated if you prannied
around for a dog’s age knocking out
colours from a rather limited initial
<safe selection>.

Ahhh – the nineties.........

T T T
T T T
T T T

~ a.k.a. (dem) : "m.i.c." ~

Product withdrawal made this all rather
"a.k.a. (dem) : "m.i.c.""

~ The Seven (St)ages of Bruce Forsyth ~

"The Seven (Sainted ?)
(St)Ages of Bruce Forsyth".

These are .SCREENCASTS. showing the
development of the .picture. that was to
eventually become "Play Your RED Cards
Right & Don't MEDAL with Your Image !".

That completed .graphic. is located [HERE]
as part of, "Breakdown PSYCHO's Analysis",
my .illustrated. discussion of the
< .lyrical. miracle>
.COMIC.
<<<football and Freudianism>>>
.SONG :.
"Psocker SychoAnalysis - The Jung Juans'
Fraudian "Slip" on the Skip" and here :

"Play Your RED Cards Right & Don't MEDAL with Your Image".
Carl Jung (played by Jimmy Greaves) begins to look rather more
like the television host Bruce Forsyth, recipient of a CBE honour.

for the .convenience. of the
non-hoppers amongst you.

~ Easy Rider : Essay Writer ~

Heh ! I've made it an Easy Ride.

The SUPERB SONG "Easy Ride" recorded and released by "The Doors"
on the marvellous and distinctive 1969 album "The Soft Parade".

"Easy Ride" is a re(e)ference to the
film "Easy Rider". It poppe(re)d into my
(otherwise unwise and ~ empty head ~)
with the actor Dennis Hopper - a super-duper
non-(but not "anon")"non-hopper"
<no-hoper doper> in that 1969 <trippy hippy>
rogue rode-road(trip) movie.

~ Un-Dennis "Unwise" Wise ~

He is as Dennis unWise as unwise Dennis Wise
was unwise to "Menace"-ingly (but not singly)
trash the treasures in the Blue Peter Garden -
supposing that allegation of short-lived,
short-trousered, short-tempered, vandalistic
hi-jinx bears scrutiny and is not a nutter's
(sub-)(sub)urban (unbanned) myth of miff.

~ Look Here ! ~

For more (not More 4) about "Blue Peter" and
the creation of the perennial programme's
.logo. by .artist. Tony Hart, [LOOK HERE !]

~ Tony (and) "The Tyger" ~

Tony Hart also makes a cameo appearance
(52 seconds into)
"William Blake's Lamblike Wail",
my animated-animal adaptation of the
visionary poet's popular .poem. : "The Tyger".

~ William Blake's Lamblike Wail ~

This [POETIC POST CARD] can be viewed
with additional notes, [HERE], ya hear ?

~ Bruce Forsyth Photo Editing 1 ~

No foe.(or afro'), a faux (not fay)
Jimmy Greaves
~ au fait ~ with
~ the state of .play. ~,
.play.ing Carl Jung
(taking a fee (or serving free))
as a FIFA Referee
(not a .player.))
at the 2006 World Cup
begins to ~ (double-)take it on the chinS ~
as some ..image. editing using Microsoft
.Photodraw 2000 Version 2. highlights
a "double" in TV host Bruce Forsyth.

~ Bruce Forsyth Photo Editing 2 ~

~ {Brace} yourself ~ for Bruce's braces.

Bruce Forsyth liberated from his Jungian
"background" in this .image.-editing
.SCREENCAST. captured with .CamStudio.
and showing manual "painting out" using
a Wacom .Intuos 2. .Pen and Pad in
Microsoft .PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2..

~ Bruce Forsyth Photo Editing 3 ~

Bruce Forsyth, Jimmy Greaves and Carl
Jung in a Mount Rushmore Arrangement.

Manual background-erasing carried out using a
Wacom .Intuos 2. Pen and Pad in Microsoft
.PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2..

Craggily carved into the Rushmore .rockface.
are the .rocky. faces of four former
.Presidents of the United States of America.;
to see more like forty (of the fortuitous) - please
visit my <Morphin' Morphine> (grating greeting)
"Black & White at The White House"

~ Bruce Forsyth Photo Editing 4 ~

Head-shrinking a head shrink.

Jimmy Greaves as Carl Jung (looking like
Bruce Forsyth) has his head shrunk with
Microsoft .PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2..

Then the same thing happens
to the "game" gameshow host.

~ Bruce Forsyth Photo Editing 5 ~

.SCREENCAST. showing how easy and intuitive
the .graphics. editor Microsoft .PhotoDraw
2000 Version 2. is.

Here, honoured British television stalwart
Bruce Forsyth has a<Jacob Marley (not a
BOB Marley) moment> with the ribbon from
his Commander of the British Empire award.

Jimmy Greaves appears in his rôle as
Carl Jung - and a "shadow self" is added.

This was not retained in the final image.

~ Bruce Forsyth Photo Editing 6 ~

Medal-meddling .SCREENCAST. of head
(not stomach)-turning image-editing
using Microsoft .PhotoDraw 2000
Version 2..

Manual erasing performed
with a Wacom .Intuos 2..

~ Bruce Forsyth Photo Editing 7 ~

Final Microsoft .PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2.
.SCREENCAST. of editing multiple Bruce Forsyths
in preparation for a captioned-cartoon at my web
exposition of an animated comic song about
.football. and Freud.

~ Doctoring Young Jimmy Greaves ~

Recorded ~ for the record ~ and for the record,
a .SCREENCAST. at last (if of "James"-ies not
Last, leased or least) of someone (and someone
else) ("sometwo" ?) other than the ridiculously
ubiquitous Bruce Forsyth.

Young Jimmy Greaves grieves Jimmy Young
in forced (enforced (N'-Forced))
(partially palindromic)
.wordplay. only.
Witness how
well-suited (the well-suited)
pair are with well-tailored sleeves up their
magic long player record album sleeves.

Again, this .image. editing was undertaken
using a Wacom .Intuos 2. Pen & Pad in
Microsoft .PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2..
