Stunning Collages and Christmas Cards – Now With a Few Mouse Clicks
Pearl Mountain Software has introduced its Picture Collage Maker, an easy-to-use tool for creating neat digital collages, scrapbooks, greeting cards, and more with a few clicks of a mouse. Fully fledged yet intuitive, the program allows bringing best creative ideas to life quickly and easily.
Designed to become a versatile collage making solution, the software enables a user to unleash inner artist, make some visual aid, and create corporate souvenirs. The program provides a variety of nice, cute and professional looking pre-designed templates (80 in Basic Edition and 130 in Pro Edition) to satisfy users´ needs and allow building collages for any occasion. Whether it is a card for someone significant in your life or a school alumni calendar, Picture Collage Maker will help its user make it look exactly how he or she wants it.
The program can come in especially handy during the holiday season for creating dozens of personalized cards. Granny will be happy to get a Christmas card with her grandchildren wearing Santa hats, your buddies will appreciate the Christmas card featuring nicest and most memorable moments of your friendship, and a large collage visualizing the year 2010 at workplace will come as a pleasant surprise for the co-workers.
Creative process itself is fairly simple and has only 3 steps:
1. Making a draft: pictures for the future collage are dragged and dropped to the program window.
2. Enhancing pictures: built-in photo editing features allow resizing, rotating and cropping pictures to perfection.
3. Adding a little something extra: in addition to layouts, Picture Collage Maker features a set of backgrounds, masks, clipart, and various frames which can be added to a collage making it even more special.
While the software gives complete control over the collage making process, it can also be employed to automate collage building. The wizard featured in the program makes throwing together quality collages a matter of a few seconds. It comes in especially handy when it´s necessary to add a personal touch, but time is critical.
After the work on a collage is finished, it can be saved as a project for further updating, turned into a template, shared via email or used right away.
Pricing and Availability:
Picture Collage Maker runs under Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, 2003, VISTA or Windows7. Prices for the product start at $29.90 for a Single-User Personal License; volume discounts are available. Further pricing information as well as the 15-day trial copy is available at the product website.
