Picture Collage Maker Pro - Just wanted to share......

[Justin]

I have been using a trial version of Lumapix FotoFusion for a while and whilst I was (on the whole) impressed it's quite an expensive piece of software. I use the software to set up mug templates etc. and find it really useful.

They used to have different versions starting but now the cheapest is $119. I guess it would be worth it but I thought I'd look at alternatives anyway.

So, I had a search around all the free offerings, nothing too exciting there. Downloaded a few trials for 'paid' software and came across Picture Collage Maker Pro. This retails at $39 so quite a bit cheaper. Not quite as slick as FotoFusion maybe but certainly has all the features I was using before and to be honest seems to be running better as well.

Very useful software and worth a look. Yes, I know you can do this in Illustrator, CorelDraw etc. but this program does simplify things a great deal.

Justin, Is Lumapix FotoFusion the software that makes a picture out of hundreds of other different pictures?

[Paul]

my choice is SHAPE COLLAGE
http://www.shapecollage.com/

simple and effective

Lumapix can be used for that yes, basically it's fo laying out photo books etc. but lends itself to templates well.

Paul, downloaded the trial of that one but didn't get on with it quite so well, doesn't really do what I need I don't think.
