Giveaway - PicaJet Photo Organizer

Thank you to everyone who entered this contest. The winner have been selected using Random.org. They are:
1st Place - Lulu's Laundry
2nd Place - Janet
3rd Place - hhoj

I'll be contacting the winners via email. Congratulations!

Talk about perfect timing.

I take tons of digital photos of the girls and they have been accumulating on my memory card pretty quickly. In fact, when we went to the park a few days ago, I could only take a few more pictures before I ran out of space.

Then I received an email asking me if I'd like to give PicaJet Photo Oragnizer a try and in return they would sponsor a contest for 3 lucky winners. Since I'm always thinking of you guys first, I agreed.

Downloading the trial version was a snap. The whole process probably took only a few minutes. However, what really impressed me was how user-friendly the program is. It didn't take long to figure out how to upload my photos, categorize & name them, and burn a copy onto a disc. I love it when I don't have to read the instructions!

One of the cool features that I found is that PicaJet FX automatically enhances images making them brighter and sharper, removes red eyes and comes with a notable set of editing tools that is on par with the leading photo editors. Importantly, while editing, the original image is NEVER replaced, so it can’t be lost or damaged. (Check me out with the surfboard! *wink*)

PicaJet FX also comes with a smart printer option – the pictures can be printed in 8x10, 6x8, 5x7 or custom sizes with a single mouse-click, without cropping, resizing or rotating. The program prints images one by one or in series. All images or photo albums can be backed up to CD or DVD. Other cool features include duplicate image finder, missing link locator, hidden file search, password protection, and a slideshow creator.

The downside is that it does not contain the ability to create projects such as screen savers or greeting cards. However, PicaJet’s success lies within a simple strategy on concentrating on few important features, rather trying to be many things to many people.

Bottom line: I really like this program. In fact, I think I'm going to upgrade my trial version even if I have to pay for it myself. Check it out!

  2. I use PhotoShop7 to enhance my photos as well as to digital scrapbook, but this looks interesting and maybe somewhat easier to use. My daughter would probably enjoy using this one as the PSP 7 frustrates her.

  11. Pretty cool. I love the organization piece of it--I'll reserve judgement on the optimizing piece of it. Sometimes it foils me when I'm trying to create a certain effect.

    Thanks for the chance to win!
