This isnt about this particularly software, but Ive noticed lately on this site that theres a lot of shooting down of software with comments such as this 'freeware is better...' etc. I really feel its got to such a stage that companies are going to think twice about offering software.

To be honest, much of the software I see on giveawayoftheday is not relevant to me. In this case I ignore it. At other times I have had some really useful stuff. In cases where a piece of software is not relevant to you, just let the people who it is relevant too comment on it. Where it is relevant give some constructive comments about enhancements, issues etc. These people have been kind enough to offer you something for free that normally costs. they do at least deserve to get back comments that will help them develop it further, rather than just being shot-down wholesale.

CollageIt Pro Version 1.2.2 was given away on December 13, 2010 and it was excellent.

Does this version 1.6.0 get installed over the previous offering or must the older version be uninstalled first.

PLEASE . . . it would be so helpful to your faithful followers if this information could be provided each time a newer version is offered. I really wish I were typing an evaluation rather than asking how to install a program.

*** Thanks ***

I like it, it does what it says it does in the easiest way possible. Select a layout, add photo's, do a few settings(background, frames) and export. Beats doing it yourself with Gimp or something.
There's one thing though, it doesn't do a good job in selecting photo's. I added 8 photo's and a layout with room for 8 photo's. The application selected random pictures from the list, skipping some, using some twice or even thrice. In case of 8 photos they're easy to spot and replaced by hand, but with 40 photo's it's gonna be a pain.

@Rooisbos, #1: You put Picasa in the center of all things. Many people don't even use Picasa. Why should your choice be in the center of things? Many people wouldn't even care.

The offer today is "CollageIt Pro 1.6.0", that should be the center today too.

Therefore it's better that you tell us if Picasa is any better or not (because you ask about it, I guess you also use it).
Not just "Picasa is much worse" or something like that, but gives us your reasons aswell, you might actually convince someone.

@Paul, #7: I think that the companies that offer software here will also be interested in what their compettitors are in the market.
There is nothing wrong mentioning alternatives (and visitors do even like that), but not just in the way you already addresessed "This freeware is better". Always tell us why some software is better and let us be the judge to get convinced or not (you cannot force us). Otherwise it would just be a yell for attention, nothing convincing at all.

This way the offered software will always be reviewed.

I already have similar programs - Wondershare Photo Collage Studio and Picture Collage Maker Pro (I think both from GOTD)and both of these have their strenghts, although overall, Picture Collage Maker Pro is the better program.

As I use the above programs a lot,I though I'd download this program - CollageIt Pro - too to see how it compares.

Although I have only had the chance to play very briefly, in my opinion, this is probably the most simplistic of the 3, and appears to have less flexibility and options than the other 2.

Still, a worthwhile addition to the collage family, but if I were to choose just 1 program, it wouldn't be this one.

To Terry Nachtmerrie , post #2, there is a check box that you may have missed to say that you want to use all the photos. Why on earth that isn't checked by default, I have no idea!
