My Photo Calendars

As you'd likely guess from the name, this program lets you design and create personalized yearly calendars and greeting cards from your own photo collection. The interface is clean, good-looking, streamlined, and easy to use, thanks to a wizard that walks you through the process of making a calendar. My Photo Calendars lets you choose from a variety of templates, then allows you to customize your calendar with any amount of country-specific and religious-based holidays. After you've handled the basics, you can add photos and text to each month. You won't find any detailed tools for editing pictures, but you can perform such basic functions as cropping, rotating, and enabling a simple fade effect. The application gives you a greater deal of control over handling text, letting you specify font, size, and background color. Once you like the looks of your calendar or greeting card, you can send it to the developer for production, a tool that professionals will likely appreciate. Unfortunately, the demo won't let you make prints at home. Also, installation takes awhile and the program consumes a hefty 85MB of memory. Nonetheless, this is a very solid tool for both amateur and experienced users.
