Installed nicely on Windows7 64 bit. Actually exremly nice,only one exe file to deal with.

Overall, it is a cute little program. More for a young kid then an adult. But I have plenty of kids in my family that can play with it.

The GUI seemed kind of compacted; It wouldn’t open in a wide screen mode.

The backgrouds and add in’s were just horrible. They looked like they were for a 5 year old. No offence, if that is who you are marketing them to then great. But for adults it is hidious.

I’ll hang on to it and see how the kids like it.

For the price, I would never pay that much. If you just got a lot more professional add-ins you wold be doing a whole lot better.

But it does what it says and with ease.

Thanks for the opportunity to test and to all.

Vidimo Se!

Just wanted to let all know that after playing and looking for info on today’s giveaway, I found shapecollage at: http://www.shapecollage.com/ is free and so far is very good, there is even a video on their site to give you a run down of the features in the program.

Enjoy,
Tenaz.

If you have Photoshop and Illustrator, I think Picture Collage Maker is of not much use. I do not have anything against this software. In fact I installed this last time when it was given at GAOTD, but removed later when I found that this was not used at all. The templates are very simple, good for kids use.

To the developers of this program:
The program is one of the best collage makers I’ve used. Good job (and I’m a tough critic). However, the templates (as Ashraf agrees) really need a major facelift (redesign). I don’t do design myself, but if you contact me, I can put you in touch with a few great designers that can help you with this. My twitter is @HelloLogic or you can email me (nathanbrauer at gmail dot com).

Excellent!!! A Keeper! thank you Perl Mountain and GOTD

From my point of view – very easy to use and customise to my taste and preferrence for originality – so one can easily change things to suit personal prefferences for layout and any clipart additions.

Using a template as a starting point I was able to repostition photo’s position, orientation and layering as well as adding an extra couple of photos. Also I was able to save my “preferred look” as a template to reuse. This programme was quick and intuitive to start useing. It also has some very powerful programming allowing editing and access to the templates for collage work. Deffinitly a keeper.

Installed and works fine, Vista Home Premium. As noted, the templates are somewhat simple (younger audiences) but I'm an elementary school teacher, and this is perfect for my student's level. They are sure to like it. Ashraf suggested PhotoVisi as an alternative. It should be noted that PhotoVisi is an online application, not stand-alone. Will not work without Internet, a consideration for some teachers who don't have it in their classrooms. All in all, thumbs UP on this one. Good job, author and GOTD.

Well, Picture Collage Maker Pro is an okay programme. Nothing new, nothing extraordinary, just a down-to-earth collage maker. But I wouldn't buy it. There are other easy to find free programmes and tools. Filters and plugins for any photo-editor are very handy too. This product lacks a wow factor. The included graphics and clipart are rather old-fashioned. They are still looking like those of the mega packs with 750.000 clips (Printshop, Corel...) in the 90's. Different is the extension; then .wmf was used now we have mostly .png and .jpg. In this quality the graphics package does not justify the price of the software. New programmes like Shape Collage or the, not yet released, Sketch2Photo are eye catching when you will present your photos. Of course the purpose is not quite the same. A plus factor of Picture Collage Maker Pro is that you can change the templates and use your own graphics; this way you can combine the old-fashion with the new eye-catchers. graylox
