PhotoShine 2.06

PhotoShine allows users to place their photos into 700 different templates . The quality of the templates varies greatly; some look pretty nice and could conceivablybe printed and framed for display. Others…not so much.

Though the interface was somewhat ugly, it was uncluttered and easy enough to use. The templates thatpurport to make your photo look like it is featured on a magazine cover are particularly bad, with terrible text and the occasional spelling error. Many of the othertemplates seem to be made for teenage girls only, which is fine if you fall into that demographic, but you may find the selection a bit limited if you don’t. Whetheror not all of the templates were to our liking, we have to give the program a big thumbs up for its ease of use. You can easily load photos from your computer intothe program and adjust them so that they are properly centered within the template. With many of the templates you can use multiple photos.

PhotoShine offers limitedphotoediting capabilities: users can make a photo black and white or "old" (a poorly rendered, greenish version of sepia), or give it a sketchedlook. All of the editing functions are easy to locate and use. The trial version is good for 30 uses, which is ample time to master PhotoShine’s simple functions. Werecommend PhotoShine for novice to intermediate users; more advanced users will likely want something a bit more sophisticated.
