Picture Publisher is a discontinued graphics application from Micrografx who purchased the product from Astral in 1991[1], later purchased in 2001 by Corel[2]. After the acquisition by Corel, it was supported briefly, then quietly phased out in favor of Corel Photo-Paint. This article is about its native raster graphics format which didn't exist until version 4. CorelDRAW supports all 3 formats, but not in the latest 64bit versions[3].
