In the quest to find free photo Montage software,
I have compiled a list of minimum requirements for the “Free
software” category. Of course, in the paid category, more
features would be required. The min-requirements list for your photo
Montage software should include: auto-scan, create album, join one
picture to multiple albums, password protect pictures, fixes, basic
editing, sharing, printing, and backup.
Auto-scan should be able to scan your entire computer hard drive for
pictures and catalog them in a generic fashion such as date. This will
then free you up to do the creative part of categorizing them instead
of the tedious part of finding them!
Album creation is just tagging your pictures into
a collection by name. This name is your album name. It’s that
simple.
You should be able to join one picture to
multiple albums because pictures are multi-dimensional. You may take a
picture of a flower in South Dakota and file it in the “South
Dakota trip” album; however, later you build a
“Flowers” album and now you need to store that same
picture in the “Flowers” album also. You
don’t want to use up disk space with multiple copies of the
picture you just want to set two references to it. That is the power of
joining one picture to many albums.
Password protecting is always a good feature for
your photo album. There are pictures that mean a lot to you but you
want it to stay private. You could have pictures of the placement of
valuables that are hidden but you want to have pictures to help you
find them again if you forget. This is just one application of
password-protecting pictures.
Fixes are the features that allow you to make it
fast and easy to crop, remove red eye, fix the contrast and color, and
enhance your digital pictures.
Basic editing encompasses the ability to add
visual effects, add captions, zoom, and tilt.
You should be able to share you pictures with
your photo Montage software. You should be able to send them via email,
publish them to the web on your own website. You should be able to make
slideshows or move them to your iPod.
Printing is self explanatory. If your photo
Montage software can’t print your pictures to a nice and
expensive photo paper to keep or share in hard copy form,
you’re limited…very limited.
Your photo Montage software should also give you
a convenient way to backup your pictures. You need to be able to keep
them safe in a location other than your local drive.

is my specific recommendation for free photo Montage software? It is
