Appeal & Flexibility:  

Photo Collage Studio  provides not only templates but storyboards for quick and convenient scrapbooking. Along with its abundance of themed templates and photo embellishments, Photo Collage Studio offers a Magic doodle drawing pad for an added personal touch.

Importing:  

Photo Collage Studio can import most file formats. Unfortunately, direct digital camera and scanner importing are unavailable. Additional uploading and reformatting are necessary to import to Photo Collage Studio. While this might not trouble some, others might be inconvenienced by the time and memory space that must be allotted to another photo suite or software program to import digital camera photos or scanner images.

Design Features:  

Photo Collage Studio stands out in its design features. While many scrapbooking software suites offer good template diversity and embellishments, most of them don't make "storytelling" considerations. Photo Collage Studio is designed just to do that: to tell a story. Templates and embellishments can also be found for greeting cards and calendars.

Output Options:  

Photo Collage Studio allows for both email formatting and web publishing, but is designed with the expectation of eventual printing.

Ease of Use:  

Photo Collage Studio is fairly easy to operate, but lacks many of the automatic editing tools offered by higher ranked products.

Help & Support:  

Photo Collage Studio offers multiple avenues for assistance and technical support. It hosts a FAQs page, provides telephone, email and fax information, and even offers live chat help.

Photo Collage Studio might lack the multimedia capabilities that are redefining scrapbooking software and digital scrapbooking in general, but for those that use scrapbooking software with the intention of eventually printing, you won't be disappointed.
