Is Visio the right tool for annotating graphic images?
I am writing a piano book in Word (2000). It will have lots of music
examples. I will be creating those images in a music notation program called Mozart. Mozart can export graphic images in a variety of formats including EMF, BMP, TIF, GIF, EPS, etc. I need to annotate these images with callouts, highlights, etc., and do some cropping and scaling. I have been using Visio. Is that a reasonable choice? It seems to work OK. The one thing that it doesn't have is any kind of image manager. I will have a lot of little images and illustrations. Is there another image processing program that will make it easier for me to link the images to the main Word document? -- Email: Usenet-20031220 at spamex.com (11/09/04) |

Photoshop works great for this, it is expensive though. I think PhotoshopCS
would work OK too, which costs less. "Top Spin" wrote in message ... I am writing a piano book in Word (2000). It will have lots of music examples.

Can PhotoShop crop vector graphic files (.emf) and leave them as vector graphics? I have found several programs that will crop graphic images, but when I have them load an EMF file, convert them to bitmaps first and then do the cropping. I would like them left as vectors. I realize that this is a non trivial task, or at least a bit more complicated than cropping a bitmap graphic, as each individual vector would have to be examined individually, but that's what computers are supposed to be good at, no?
