What is replacement for Image Composer in FrontPage 2002?
FrontPage 2000 came with Image Composer. I recently installed FrontPage 2002 and noted it did not have Image Composer. I reviewed a Microsoft FAQ that indicated something to the effect that Image Composer was not included because FrontPage 2002 has all the functionality of it built in. Is this in fact the case? Can photo resolution be changed, convert photos to jpeg format, etc? Or in reality are you required to use another program like Photoshop? If this is the case, any suggestions for an inexpensive alternative?

You should still be able to install Image Composer from the old CD, as far as I know...
Frontpage no longer comes with it because Image composer was discontinued. You can install image composer from the 2000 CD separate from Frontpage. There should be a folder on the cd. Then set up frontpage to open all images with Image composer.

I appreciate the feedback so far. Any reason why Image Composer was discontinued, what did Microsoft intend people to use in its place? Or did they expect people to continue to use Image Composer? Yes it could be installed, but is this supported on Windows XP? I tried the pictures toolbar in Front Page 2002 and it looks like it comes close but some of the resolution settings are shown grayed out, not sure how you can change the settings or if you need to do something to unlock them, etc. It seems like if Microsoft discontinued Image Composer, the functionality it provided must have been rolled into FP or one of the other office products. I increased the points on this question, does anyone have further thoughts on this one?
