Photo Collage Master 4.0

As its title suggests, Photo Collage Master allows you to seamlessly create collages out of your photographs by using predefined templates.

Besides the versatile collection of templates, this application does not have more than a handful of features for creating collages.

Since the 'drag and drop' method is not supported, you have to manually add the pictures you want to include in the collage. You can choose from a wide range of frames, from baby-related, cartoons and love style templates to magazine covers, festive day cards or plain simple ones.

One drawback of the application is that you cannot modify the elements of the chosen template in any way. Therefore, if a template includes just two photo areas, you can only include two pictures in it and not more.

Moreover, adjusting them into the right areas becomes quite a challenge, especially if the photo section is round-shaped. You can move it up and down or side to side, depending on the picture layout, but you cannot center it or zoom on a picture area. This is why not every picture you have fits every template.

Prior to saving your collage, you can use the photo editor to modify the images. However, this section is not packed with a lot of options either: you are only offered three filters (Grayscale effect, Old Photo and Sketch Photo), as well as rotating, flipping and resizing possibilities. The brightness, contrast and saturation levels can be adjusted also, but only for the whole collage.

Once you start processing the picture, there is no turning back, as the number of undo levels is limited to one.

Although it does not include many features, Photo Collage Master is not to be considered an intuitive application. Even if you succeed on placing the pictures in the templates, you can only use it to create simple collages (only in JPG or BMP format) with a limited number of pictures. In order to create professional-looking collages, just look for something else.
