DESCRIPTION
Posterino... With a focus on ease-of-use, Posterino creates life posters, photo collages, frames, postcards, greeting cards and contact sheets from digital images. Posterino does the hard work while users just have to fine tune the results.
Posterino offers a variety of stylish templates with grids of identical or odd sized containers. With a single click, the application will fill containers with random images automatically, or for more control, the user may Drag and Drop images manually. Posterino also sports a built-in layout generator which can automate the process of creating and saving custom grid templates.
"If you want to create a collage of your favorite photos and put it on a poster, is the slickest and easiest way to get the job done." MacWorld Review - August 07
At any time users may change the size and shape of individual containers as well as adjust the placement of each image within its own container. Posterino provides options to send an image directly to iPhoto, Flickr, Mail or save it on the hard drive.

Creating an eye-catching Life Poster is as easy as choosing a template, a iPhoto album and hitting a button. Posterino will place, crop, enhance and render the images into a poster. The ease with which it's possible to insert photos into templates makes Posterino particularly suited to both casual users and professional photographers alike, and a perfect compliment to Apple's iLife suite. The uses for projects are only limited by the imagination.

ROBERTCOOGAN I bought this waaaaaaay back, and my registration ran out. Great app, but one thing that bugs me...the dev could make it much more successful if they made it web-based. I use it now but only on occasion. I can see most users buying what it can offer on the same basis, but only as a novelty item. As a permanent app, no. The average user can't make much of it that way. But I wish the devs would expand it...it is such a great concept if they sold what it can do on a per service basis it would be better. This isn't a negative criticism! It really is a good idea..., but needs to be expanded (access-wise) without the associated cost.

TECHCHICK99 The running MU Promo brought me back to Posterino. I bought it a long time ago and didn't use it for a long time. The possibility to create a huge photo collage is great with this app. I made tons of photos in the last couple of months and created a great poster for our bedroom yesterday. Posterino was easy to handle and the collage was created just like this. | |

BENGT77 I haven't used Posterino, but for the people wanting to use either Posterino or PostCard solely as an iCards alternative, there is PopCard.me: . It does almost everything iCards used to do and be. It offers a simple web interface where you can select standard pictures to make your own greeting card, the text on which will be nicely anti-aliased. When sent, the receiver only gets a JPEG of the card you sent, just like iCards. There's one difference, however, which makes PopCard.me even better than iCards: it's connected to flickr, meaning you can make a card from ANY flickr photo. Very nice. I found the service a little while ago, while searching for good iCards alternatives (well, not alternatives, iCards is long dead).

TERSKAC After using Posterino a few years I still think it is great. Don't hesitate to try it. I have a few programs that I think are really innovative and this is one of them.

F451 I am interested in this app, but here is no way to utilize the neat postmark watermark feature unless you use their postcard service. Too bad as I would like to see on the other means of exporting.

F451 I need to clarify a bit more...I would like to see the postmark without the need to have a postage stamp. Sorry.

FUNJOY Seems ridiculous to charge for electonic postcards. Do yourself a favor and spend $5 on 'Postcard' and make as many Apple iCard-like postcards as you like.

MACSTERDAM Seriously underrated, I think, and should be part of iLife. I use it all the time and feel 5 stars doesn't do it justice - it really is that good. So here, another 5 stars, both for the developer and the software!

KMEAD Truly an excellent piece of software. The developer is incredibly responsive, responding to a bug report the same day and after a brief discourse, produced a beta update that resolved the problem the next morning. The current version of the software is fast, easy, has added significant features that make it easier and more enjoyable to use and creates output files very quickly. It is a great tool which I use to convey large amounts of visual information quickly and easily to a very high standard of quality and consistency. I look forward to future iterations. Thank you for a great product which paid for itself the first time I used it.

CURLYPAWS I used to like the .Mac ability to send electronic postcards, but was frustrated that I couldn't make up my own ones without remaining a member (and it just wasn't worth it for the features). So I was very pleased to find Posterino and see the flexibility it offered. Of course, it does life posters and photo frames too. The supplied designs are very nice indeed, but you can design your own or change the shipped versions. The scaling and moving of photos works very well too. The program integrates with Aperture as well as iPhoto and Entourage (or other e-mail programs) as well as Apple Mail.

COWHUNA Developer contacted me and was able to send license via alternate email. Happy ending to a frustrating experience. Still love the program!
