    Computer program for diagram arrows

    I have seen quite a few pictures with inset colored arrows for diagramming purposes. I was wondering what kind of program can I find those features on.

    Thanks

    I use PAINT and I have to draw my own arrows. Billy C. and Robert uses the solid arrow.
    Maybe they can tell you where to go.

                IrfanView

                IrfanView.............google it


                FREEWARE.

                dont forget to download the "paint" plugin which allows the arrows and drawing and many more features.

                GREAT program

                  Photoshop is the best but I lost my copy.

                  You can use PAINT and they have arrows pointing in the 4 directions, or draw them. I have Windows 7 and the PAINT is pretty cool.

                    IrfanView is what I use also. Very easy and lots of versitility, free and you never loose your pic's.

                      I use Microsoft Paint version 6.1, which includes a feature that allows you to insert arrows and not have to work to draw them. Older versions do not have this feature. Works fine for me.

                        I use Adobe photo shop 7. However, there is another way and one that I find useful.

                        You can use Microsoft word. Here is what you do; first, bring up a blank page and insert the picture. You then can insert other shapes, words or art as well into that page. Once you have the layout that you want, convert the word back into picture. I use UDC program that I obtained for print-driver.com. While it puts a water mark on the page, just crop it out and you are back to a jpeg picture.

                          Most (if not all) of this can be done in Photoshop by using layers for each element. For example, if the arrows are drawn in a one spot, the layer can be moved, resized, rotated or duplicated to get another arrow without the editing impacting the other layers - then it all can be saved as a jpeg.
