Thumbs down from me so far. I like the idea of this program but… It tries to install to root of C drive. Not sure if it’s a 32-bit or 64-bit program or if installer decides. I changed it to a folder within Program Files. Installer took a LONG time for such a small program. When it finished, and program finally started, I clicked on Help>Contents. Got an error message that the app tried to make a bad application call (sorry, don’t remember for sure). Ok, must be a 32-bit app, so I uninstalled. Only 1 trace left behind, an empty registry entry for mstpaint — better than most uninstallers :-)

Tried re-installing in Program Files (x86). When program ran, I clicked on Contents in the Help menu. After about 30 seconds the program exited with no error message… just crashed when doing something as simple as requesting help.

So after all this, I still don’t know if it can create SVG (vector) images. From web page it sounds like it can only recolor and hide parts of them. Masking layers are very good thing! Don’t know if layers support transparency levels, or the usual blend options found in other programs. Don’t know what text control is possible (character or line spacing? centering? wrap? flow from one text box to another?).

I had hopes this would be a good tool for combining and arranging several outputs from other programs, especially since few handle SVG files. Might give it another try but first impression is not good.
