Perhaps I'm in the wrong group. If so, I'm certain that I will be
corrected: BUT, I edit an organization's small quarterly magazine. I used
to use Microsoft's Photodraw until it would no longer work with XP and was
not supported. I threw it away. I could take a photo and put a "balloon"
(both spoken and thought as in the comics) above a character's head and and
put text in it. Will someone give me a hint as to what I can use to do that
now?
 
You can use Microsoft Digital Image Pro to do most of what you do in
Photodraw

I would also recommend checking out Serif Pageplus for doing your
publications
You can try a free version here http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/

Use any photo editor to paste in some pre-stored balloons (of your own
design), then use the text tool to insert text into them.

Thank you both very much!
