This is not a program one simply jumps into. Novice users will want to take a long, hard look at the Help file and more-experienced users will want to set aside several minutes to experiment and play with all the buttons before attempting anything serious. That interface is a patchwork of command icons and a puzzle of screens for templates, photos, and the main collage. While offering much more than simple collages, this program's cluttered interface will take some getting used to. In conclusion: This is a very nice and useful utility for those who wish to create image collages, calendars, scrapbooks and even smaller posters.Picture Collage Maker offers users several options for using their photographs in creative ways.
