PhotoImageMaker

PhotoImageMaker is a graphic editor that comes packed with several templates and shapes for personalizing images from your collection.

The tool does not impress much in the visual department. The GUI looks quite plain but not particularly intuitive. Since there’s no support for a help manual you need to experiment a little bit with the configuration parameters in order to understand how it works.

Pictures can be imported in the working environment using the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented). The utility works with different file formats, such as PNG, BMP, GIF, JPG, and TGA.

PhotoImageMaker gives you the possibility to create a new project by providing information about the size of the photo. You can set the color of the background image or import a custom picture from your computer.

There are all sorts of colorful shapes that you can use in your projects. Shapes can be resized and moved to the desired position using the drag-and-drop support. You can delete items, copy or paste objects, and move items to the front or send them to the back.

What’s more, you are allowed to embed custom text. You may type in the text directly in the main window or paste it from the clipboard, and alter it in terms of font, size, color, and alignment.

The program also offers support for several templates that can be used for placing custom images on a preset background. You may add predefined photos or place text messages.

We have tested the application on Windows 8.1 Pro and noticed that it carries out a task quickly. It eats up CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer may be hampered. The utility offers good output results.

PhotoImageMaker hides under its hood several photo editing tools which help you alter the brightness and contrast, adjust the hue and saturation, colorize the images, as well as apply sepia or grey effects. Photos can also be rotated to different angles or mirrored.

To sum things up, PhotoImageMaker comes in handy in case you are looking for a quick and simple method for enhancing your pictures, and is suitable especially for less experienced users. The preset objects are quite rigid because they do not offer a lot of flexibility in the editing field. Basically, you are stuck with various preset ornaments and a few controls. If you are looking for nothing more than that, you can give PhotoImageMaker a try and see what it can do for you.
