    best photo collage software review

    Wondershare Photo Collage Studio 4.2.8 review

    by webzap.net

    I am always impressed with Wondershare softwares like flash gallery, DVD Slideshow Builder, Photo Story... Today I installed and tested another great software from them: Photo Collage Studio Version 4.2.8


    From their website, it claims:


    Wondershare Photo Collage Studio 4.2.8 is a simple yet powerful tool that makes amazing photo collages and digital scrapbooks for print. With plenty design templates, clip arts, photo frames. You’ll assemble your precious photos into an artistic compilation in no time!

    Features:


    Turn photos into collage and scrapbook
    Plenty collage templates and layouts
    Multiple-page Designs
    Wordart, cliparts, stamps & more
    Photo retouching and effects
    Magic doodle drawing
    DIY personalized calendar
    Print & share anywhere
    Quick and helpful online support
    Installation: smooth, no error, no warning is found from my Anvir Task Manager and A-Squared Background Guard




    Once you launch the software, you can choose between working with a template or work with a blank collage. My suggestion is to choose an existing template, as it will make your life easier.


    There are many templates for you to choose: from normal templates to Calendar, Greeting Card, Poster or Letter. You can also select between Collage and Layout.

    Step 1: Add photo


    You can choose the size (resolution) of your layout. It can be predefined size or customized size. Then you can select the background of your layout whether it is transparent, color-filled or photo background.


    Adding photos is easy. On the left hand side there is a folder tree, and the content is showed below. You choose your desired folder/photos then click and drag each of them to the template on the right.



    You can even move, resize or even delete each and every small photo frame on the layout. Once you click on the frame, an editting toolbar for that frame appears.



    Edit toolbar

    Here are the items on the edit toolbar:
    Zoom icons: if your photo is too big or too small, you can zoom in/out to make it fit the frame.
    Set shadow: used to set shadow of the whole image.
    Crop photo
    Rotate 90 degree
    Flip horizontally/vertically
    Delete Frame
    Lock layer: once you satisfy with the result of each frame, you can lock that frame so that you can't accidentally modify it.
    Delete Layer: used to delete whole frame and photo in that frame.
    If you want to move photo in any frame, click on that photo, an green arrow appears. Click and drag that green arrow to move your photo.

    Step 2: Edit photo
    In this step, you can modify frame, apply mask and add effects on the photo. Remember to click the photo first, then choose any effect from the left by double clicking it. Play around these effects to choose the ones you like most.

    Step 3: Decorate Collage
    You can add Text, Clipart, Stamp to your layout. There is also a "Doodle" section. Check it out.

    Step 4: Save Collage
    You can save as image or save as wallpaper. If you choose save as image, you will be asked for location and file type. If you choose save as wallpaper, you will be asked for style (center, tile or stretch).

    Step 5: Print Collage
    You can even print out the final product if you like.

    Final product




    My overall evaluation:
    User doesn't need huge knowledge of photoshop or image editing process to use this software. User can create a nice collage even at first time usage.

    Pros:
    Smooth installation
    Usage: easy and straighforward.
    Wide selection of templates.
    Huge library of decorations.
    Can choose a resolution up to 12"x8" (predefine) or up to 4200x4200 pixels (custom)

    Cons:
    So far so good, I haven't found any drawback from this software.

To erase any part of your painting, click the Eraser tool and then click and drag over the area.

    DIY your personalized Wedding Invitation Card

    Have you ever thought of designing your wedding invitation card by yourself? Maybe you'll consider it as a hard work if you are an amateur.Here I'll recommend an easy scrapbooking tool to make it! Which you need prepare first is only your digital photo.


    To realize it with Photo Collage Studio do the following:
    Step 1. Create a new collage from template(the software supplies four ways to start the design including from template, from layout, from blank and from image) and select your favorite theme template; here we choose the template named as Love 3 to match the occasion of wedding.


    Step 2. Adjust the objects in the template according your needs. Everything except the background picture of the pre-designed template can be moved, enlarged, minished and deleted separately so that you can also do many things with the template. Here in order to make the invitation card look much better, we just hold the wedding frame and roses.

    Step3. Double click or drag your photo from the left list box to the frame of template and adjust the size of photo in the frame to the best effect by using the editing toolbar upper of the selected photo; The first button is used to move the photo in the frame; are used to enlarge or reduce the size of photo in the frame. If you only want to import a part of the photo, the fifth button for cropping can help you realize it easily.


    Tips: If you think your photo is too dark or not perfect, use the effect tab to retouch it without hesitation. There are many effects offered by the program, such as old picture, oil, blur, brightness, contrast, embossment and more. Double-click a thumbnail of effects to apply the effect to your photo and right click to cancel.

    Step 4. Add the important captions such as the card theme, wedding address, wedding time and your name. The powerful function of text editing like wordarts, shadow, halation, texture can give you more space to show your creativity. Here we should be cautious to decorate the words for standing out the romantic theme.


    Step 5. Print your personalized wedding invitation card at home with more custom sizes or even more than one picture on a page. Sent the prints to your families and friends, they must be surprised.


    You can do many other things to design your invitation card such as adding effects, cliparts, stamps, frames or masks. But I think it's not suitable to using here. Photo collage studio is a collage and digital scrapbook application but if you have more inspiration you can do many things with it. Let your mind fly now!
