The commercial applications like Dreamweaver and GoLive of course have
this ability built in - simply put the image on the page and draw
clickable areas over the top.

> (Before I could afford Photoshop I loved using their ColorIt! program)

Personally I find ColorIt! much easier to use than Photoshop. I still
use the version I got for free on a magazine cover disk and then
updgraded to version 4. It does everything I need from simple web
graphics through to full CMYK press images (although you can't edit
CMYK images since it displays them only as separate channels). )

They've evidently been working on a Mac OS X version, which would be
great for when I'm forced to upgrade from Mac OS 9, but it's been two
years with no news (apart from minor updates to say it still works in
Mac OS X 10.4's Classic). They say they have to rewrite a lot of it,
which isn't surprising. (

From their FAQ ...

Is there a version of Color It! for Mac OS X?

  We are well along on producing a "Carbonized" version of
Color It! to run native under Mac OS X, an enormous effort
that has taken over a year. While a date has not been set
as to when the OS X version will be available, it should
be fairly soon. In the interim, all of our products run
great in Classic mode under Mac OS X. Color It! also runs
in any System version from 7.0 to 9.2.2.


Will the OS X version of Color It! work with Macs with
Intel processors?

The OS X version of Color It! will run on all Intel-based
Macs. The Intel Macs will include a technology called
Rosetta, which allows programs written to run on Macs with
a PowerPC processor to run on a Mac with an Intel processor.
The process is not like running Classic, but will be
completely transparent to users--you just double-click on a
PowerPC program and it runs. Simple as that!


ColorIt! does run under Mac OS X, but it has some problems of not being
able to preview things like brightness, making it difficult to use.

ColorIt! does Image Map creation?

No, it's purely bitmap image editing.

Sorry, I / we hijacked the original topic and went off on a side step
about graphics applications.

Um, I just opened ColorIt! 4.0.1 under Classic and I see Web Map Palette
under the Tools menu. I just drew a circle on a photo and it asked for a
URL.

You're right, it does do maps for web use, creating the HTML code in a
couple of different formats. That's a menu option I've never noticed
before. I do all the image map bits in DreamWeaver of GoLive anyway.

I didn't go off topic then. )
But ColourIt! is probably a bit expensive JUST to do web image maps,
especially since as iehsmith says they have another product especially
for doing that which is hopefully cheaper (I haven't looked).

You can probably find something even cheaper / free by doing a search
on http://www.versiontracker.com
