![]() Thanks GOTD for this pro version Save | Cancel To conclude, if you miss this giveaway, I have put a small list of free alternatives here: so that everyone has a chance to see (even after today) Those saying that Word can also do that should be aware thatġ) GOTD visitors don't necessarily have Word!Ģ) Why take a 800 Pounds Gorilla when a slim Ferret will do? The free alternative (Photovisi) that is proposed is at best a very timid attempt at collage/scrapbooking, is only available online (that is NOT an option for me) and offers just a 1024 X 768 resolution for free (compared to the customizable function of today's Giveaway), if you want bigger, you have to pay for it. You can even save your creation as a template (this option is in the collage menu).Īs is, with 136 templates, it is quite adept at what it is supposed to be doing and the price (for this Pro version) is adequate.Īs I remember, Printshop used to cost much more than that in the 90's. It is mostly aimed at doing some Christmas (or other occasions) cards or mementos as Printshop used to be in the 90's.Īnd if you want to, you start with a blank canvas that you can customize at the size you want (It's in the size option as Customize). The difference between this Pro version and the regular one is the quantity of templates (136 for the Pro versus 80 for the regular)Īshraf's negative point is to be taken with a grain of salt as this is a collage (or scrapbooking) program not a fine arts painting program. This program installed without a hitch on my XP SP3 old timer. Naysayers might themselves try to produce reviews every day, in a short time-frame, before slating him. He is time-limited, and what he manages to produce in a short time is generally quite excellent. His reviews help a lot of people to understand the general workings of a program before deciding to spend time downloading, installing, problem-solving,etc. As such Ashraf's reviews are a valuable addition. ![]() It is for people of all stages of knowledge, and interest, in computers and software. It would be good if he'd consider returning and sharing his knowledge again on technical matters.Īs for Ashraf, let's keep in mind that this GOTD page is not targetted at a hi-tech audience. His technology wisdom and years of experience are much missed by me and I'm sure others. Many people don't like unjustified negative targetting of others, and that earned him some negatives.įubar received a lot of genuine appreciation when he wrote objectively and helpfully on a topic. The other problem was that when Fubar was in his 'grumpy' mood he tended to put others down. In practice the negatives more likely represented the work of shills, especially when fubar rightly criticized the offering of the day. It was not Ashraf nor the people who appreciate his reviews that chased away Fubar.įubar, from some remarks he made, felt his expertise wasn't fully appreciated after getting occasional negative ratings. 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. Of course the purpose is not quite the same. New programmes like Shape Collage or the, not yet released, Sketch2Photo are eye catching when you will present your photos. ![]() In this quality the graphics package does not justify the price of the software. They are still looking like those of the mega packs with 750.000 clips (Printshop, Corel.) in the 90's. The included graphics and clipart are rather old-fashioned. Filters and plugins for any photo-editor are very handy too. There are other easy to find free programmes and tools. ![]() Nothing new, nothing extraordinary, just a down-to-earth collage maker. Well, Picture Collage Maker Pro is an okay programme. ![]()
