I have a question regarding graphic design software that I’m assuming someone here can answer. For years and years I’ve used Microsoft’s Image Composer. It’s a great little program that still works great for me, but it is still quite limited. What I like about it is the “work space” I can make a graphic component, drag it around, decide that I don’t want it, drag it outside of the work space, place something else there, etc. It’s kind of hard to explain, so I’m hoping that someone here is familiar with it and will be able to tell me if there’s a “modern day” graphics program that allows the user to work in a similar fashion.

Thanks!

PS – Don’t say PhotoShop... I can't seem to get into the "layer" style of working.
