PrestoPhoto 4+

Template Modern Lines
1. text edit, did not alleign well under photos, and the box would not extend on photos on the bottom of page. I had to crop photo boxes. Text box was no where near the boundary cropping line. Also when double clicking to write text box would grey out and I could NOT type in box, NOR could the box be deleted to repeat the process. Also Font size option does not always come up.
2. Edit Layout: changing size of photos; no guidelines appear to aleign with other photos, eyball it is not accurate!
3 Starting Book options should be more spefic once Templat is chosen for Modern Lines there should also be a option to change background to white. You havde one but one has to "search for it" luckily I was doing 3 books so on the 3rd book it was familiar....MANY PEOPLE ARE ONLY MAKING ONE BOOK.
4. Photos do not load quickly when switching from Template options back to Images. Big frustration was, I oraginize photos by Event which is NOT necessarily by DATE and all my organization was down the drain when loaded on the book. It is very time consuming to scroll through all the photos to get specific events together. IE : Spending 3 days in a city..all city photos should be together.
5. Unsure if its better to start creating book thourht PHOTOS or going on line to Presto Ap???

Sorry, cant scroll back to proof read my remarks so hope you can find some benefit from this report.

The main reason I chose Presto Photo is that is works with the photos already in my Apple Photo app. Not having to upload the photos to a site before making the photo book saved me hours of time.
I was also glad for an 8.5X11 format, which some of the other apps did not offer.
The editing was not super intuitive and the window was small so it was hard to see details on the page. Although it allowed text, it was very basic. There were no embellishments available that I could find. The layouts were adequate but I would have liked more options or a chance to create my own. If such a feature was available I never found it.
It's hard to rate it because I haven't seen the finished product. If it turns out well, I will use this again because it's so compatable with my photo storage on my Mac.

Using the app is relatively easy. However, compared to the old apple app which I used all the time I find this app somewhat inflexible

1- I would like to be able to use a picture of my own as a background for the other pictures on the page
2- the templates with text depending on how many pictures are on a page seems to me to have too much text space where another picture could be placed or the pictures could be slightly bigger using that space.
3- other than a straight picture apple had an option to make a single picture from many pieces. One was able to take a picture and create it as if it were created from many post it note pieces it was very interesting to do that with certain pictures.
