--about Easy Photo Frame 'interface

With so many devices capable of taking pictures, everybody is a photographer these days. But if you want to stand out from the crowd you need to come up with something new. So how about framing the images yourself, at home, by hardly lifting a finger (except for clicking the mouse)? The software industry is developed enough to give you handy tools for the job.

Easy Photo Frame is a $29.95 instrument designed specially for adding frames to your digital pictures as well as various other objects. The 30-day trial of the application lets you do almost anything you want, with certain limitations, such as the impossibility to add some frames and stamps that are reserved for the full version.

There are no special, sleek looks or anything amazing about the interface, just a plain, simple window containing image processing options, frames and stamps to add to your picture. To tell the truth, besides the unimpressive looks, which are not affecting the functionality of the application, Easy Photo Frame's interface comes with the great defect of not supporting resizing on neither Vista nor XP, which may bug some of the users especially if the picture they're working on is smaller.

On the same note, the toolbar buttons are quite small. The natural thing here would be for the toolbar and its buttons to grow in size proportionally with the interface. So Easy Photo Frame is a fullscreen application to fiddle with on your desktop.

The largest part of the screen is occupied with the image you add while in the lower part there are the frames and stamps to pick from. In the upper part the toolbar provides image correcting and improving instruments like light and color adjusting, red-eye removal, zoom options, plus a transparency button.

All the frame styles and stamps in the application are grouped into categories so that you don't have to spend too much time reaching the one you desire. One thing has to be mentioned, though. Out of more than 16 different categories of frames and stamps present in Easy Photo Frame, only one category can be used during the trial period, and that's the free one. For anything else you will have to pay for the license before using it.
