Hello all,
Version 3.2 brings the Windows 8 style ribbon interface, which I truly dislike. The previous version (PicPick version 3.1.9) was OK for my needs, and conformed well to my Windows 7 operation system, but I don't have any copies of it. Does anybody know where I can find the latest version (3.1.9) with the Windows 7 interface?
Thanks a lot.

@emrea

I found it here - http://www.filehorse.com/download-picpick/11743/

It may be available elsewhere too.

You'll need to follow the extraction process above, checking the executable version for PicPick will tell you for sure this is v319. It looks like it based on the size of the installer, 12.3 MB, v320 is smaller, 8.7 MB.

@Mike.S.G. Thanks a lot! This is the version I have been looking for. I had searched for it at OldApps.com, etc. obviously without any success, and even sent an e-mail to the software developers but rushed here fearing that this certain version might be erased from the virtual space quickly (that's how paranoid I am :)
Again thanks a lot for your help.

Was thrilled to see GIMP in popular use at a tech company I visited. Evidently familiarity with this program is turning into a marketable skill.

v2.8 boosts quite a few drastic improvements. ArsTech has a writeup: http://arst.ch/tny

v2.8.2 - Works great on Win 8 CP. I'm running it on an Asus netbook with an SSD and 1.8 GHz Atom. It loads/starts slow, but once up and running, it performs as if it were on a full desktop.

None of the "free" softwares from http://www.vieas.com seems to be downloadable ...
There is an error 403 on every link on downloads page and there is no contact page.
Anybody tried this one ?

rogerthedodger on 2013-01-03 23:44

The link worked fine for me with several of those listed here?????

Checker on 2013-01-04 00:44

@ spice_prods: Use the link "Download" given by me at the top of this entry. This will link you to a working download page (http://www.vieas.com/en/soft.html#Jcropper). At this page klick at the ZIP-button to download the ZIP file.

Sadly, development has been stopped: http://www.picturestoexe.com/forums/index.php?/topic/14960-important-announcement/

Midas on 2012-10-03 23:28

Please note that the link posted above by Emka works only if you include the final slash...

freakazoid on 2012-12-25 01:29

Just gave this a try and I'm quite impressed!

You can tell that the developer used Photoshop as an inspiration and it shows.

A shame that the developer has ceased work on it, but for a 4.79 MB app, it's way more than I initially expected.

Perhaps the best Photoshop clone you've never heard of. Recommended!

I can't extract the exe file with Universal Extractor. I get an error:
"Signature detected: Inno Setup Setup Data (5.2.4)
This is not directly supported, but i'll try to unpack it as version 5110
; Version detected: 5204
Critical error: The setup files are corrupted. Please obtain a new copy of the program.
Unpacking failed. This version is not supported."

How can I extract it, then?

ishldgetoutmore on 2011-12-07 21:49

I used Universal Extractor to open the installer, then copied the {app} folder to my PortableApps directory on my USB drive. I renamed it to Artweaver and created the .ini file. Seems to run just fine! I guess the {embedded} directory contains license files and so forth; not necessary to run the program. Very nice!

dany on 2011-12-08 00:06

@foxcole: click the link in 'how to extract.', you need to replace bin/innounp.exe with the latest version, yours only supports versions up to 5.1.1. Innounp version 0.36 supports unpacking version 5.4.2 Inno Setup installers.
Worked for me.
