🖼 Some fun with Picture Collage Maker from PearlMountain

Since I wrote about CollageIt, it’s worthwhile mentioning it’s bigger brother, Picture Collage Maker. They both come from PearlMountain so the feature set is similar and familiar. Picture Collage Maker has more templates such as Social Media, Disc Cover, Calendar, Greeting Card and others. It also features more backgrounds, adding “pages”, and a bit more in the way of page layout. It does fall much more inline with scrapbooking. Picture Collage Maker can perform all the functions of CollageIt, but not the other way around.

I find it very easy to use with just enough features to be powerful for the task at hand. At $9.99 it was well worth getting. I’m starting to wonder if I shouldn’t print some of these examples […]
