PosterPrint

Pictures represent an important resource in both the real and virtual world. Ranging from textures to add banners, these are easy to gather, but first need to be adjusted to fit size specifications. As such, PosterPrint comes with a proper set of tools to help you build posters from any kind of picture.

The visual design is wrapped around a classic window frame, with a large space used as the canvas, and a side panel with several dedicated project controls. Some view and insert options are found in the canvas context menu, while general file operations can quickly be accessed from the upper toolbar.

Images of popular formats are supported for import. However, the application only allows you to add one image per poster, which is rather disappointing. On the other hand, you can insert a text layer, but it too is limited to a single instance. You need to take great care with the image you decide to load, because it can't be resized inside the application.

There's a default layout on which to work with the selected image. The side panel lets you define the width and height of the poster, and automatically creates pages vertically and horizontally. Pages come with dedicated borders on the canvas so you can clearly view the output. There's also a preview section showing each pace which is printed.

A proper result is best obtained if you have a connected printer. You can quickly access the printer setup panel to tweak output. On the bright side, it's also possible to save the whole project, as well as JPG pictures of each page. Additional options help you adjust margins and page overlaps to prevent any accidents when printing.

In conclusion, PosterPrint offers a simple work environment in which to adjust pictures to print out as posters of customizable size. Unfortunately, pictures you load can't be modified or at least adjusted inside the application, while the output layout is always a bit shallow, with only one picture and text slot to add.
