photoprinto2.1.2

Portraits & Prints p'wns this thing.

Not sure where folks see beautiful templates in this app. I got this software as part of a bundle and was looking forward to using it: but it's unbelievably slow. And the templates... gosh, back in 1995 on my old Quadra running Claris Works I got better design. Handling is cumbersome as well... nah, off it goes from my hard disk.

One Request: Please, please, please, DO NOT make the SMILE ON MY MAC logo the default imagine...it's half maddening to look at over time.

Definitely onto something, but still needs work...lots of work. The basic premise is an emulation of iPhoto's GUI itself. It would have been spectacular if they were simply integrated directly into iPhoto versus a standalone app. I will be watching this app's progress, and might purchase in future revisions.

This is a great first version! I look forward to the product as it matures. It is just a little bit slow on my PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz, and ran great on my G5. This is going to fill a need for me to maintain family printed photo albums and it could even work out for professional applications. To be fair, most programs that deal with photos can be a little slow as the program reads the photo files. I think it helps if you use a program like iPhoto Buddy to keep your iPhoto library rather small. Perhaps just have photos in the current iPhoto library that you want to place in the photoprinto album. Or use a folder to hold the photos you want to include. It helps to make sure the photos are already in the order you want them in the album, but this is not necessary. The program is not completely intutive, so be sure you read the help file. Give yourself some time to play around with it and become familiar with it, and I think you'll like it. It is definately worth the time to learn. I'm going to purchase it as the price is good, it fills a need for me, and I'm sure it will mature into a great product.
