Has the same old way of viewing your photos in albums become tiresome and boring? You know that it's not the photos themselves; they are, after all, treasures beyond value. It's the "process" itself that has grown so tedious. The fact is, most people just shoot photographs, put the prints into an album, and store them away on a dusty closet shelf, destined only to become forgotten family relics. It's been the same old story since the invention of photography over 165 years ago! Photos are not meant to be stored and forgotten, but enjoyed! And now there is technology available to completely revolutionize the photo-viewing process! Enter PhotoMix, a whole new way of organizing photos into meaningful and thematic collages, rather than as individual, unrelated pictures. A collage is a type of "synergy", in which "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." A collage will make any collection more illuminating, more original - more fun! A creatively organized and cleverly planned collage is a wonderful way to maximize the impact of any family photo session. If a single photo lacks pizzazz, try adding it to a collage and marvel at the result! Your family will love and appreciate your efforts, and your friends will admire your skill and creativity! What's more, you don't even have to be a skilled artist or advanced PC user to become a PhotoMix expert. The only items required are a pile of digital photos and the desire to turn them into something magical! Using PhotoMix you can arrange your photos any way you like and apply numerous filters and effects. You'll be amazed at how novel combinations often produce dazzling results. Once finished, you can add your collage to your digital photo collection, print it out, email it to a friend or even make it your desktop wallpaper - all with just a few clicks of the mouse! So, what are you waiting for? Start turning that disorganized collection into impressive works of art you and your family will treasure for year to come!
