You can scale them, stretch them, crop them, tile them and more. Users can now size, position and rotate images with complete freedom within the containing shapes, so they can just focus on the part of the image that matters.

iStudio Publisher is targeted to home, small business and educational users and is designed to help these users create, present and publish professional-looking documents, says Paul O’Connor, director of c:four. The software allows users to draw shapes, run text inside and around the shapes and also place images within them at the same time. Featuring a shape library of commonly used items and dynamic text wrapping, iStudio Publisher lets users create free-form arrangements of text, graphics, and photos .
