		Portraits & Prints is a Universal Application What does that mean? It means Portraits & Prints will run natively on both Power PC (G3,G4,G5) and Intel based Macintosh computers. When you install Portraits & Prints, it automatically detects what kind of processor your Mac has to give you peak performance.

With Portraits & Prints you can take any photo and print it any way you want. Select your photos and they are automatically arranged onto templates and displayed on screen the exact same way they are printed. You don’t waste time arranging photos and you don’t waste paper since you see the printout beforehand.

A template is a page layout where the photo size and position are preset. In addition to all the basic photo layouts, you can easily add your photos to holiday, birthday, sports card templates and more. Choose from hundreds of free templates or create your own templates using the Pro version. Create templates for any size paper then layout any size and number of photos you want. You can even add text, graphics, shadows, frames, masks, and more. The possibilities are endless! Portraits & Prints truly does turn your Mac into your personal photo studio.

With the Standard Edition you can add balloon captions and let your photos speak for themselves. Download holiday templates and type your own personal message. With the Pro Edition you can add any kind of text to any part of the template, including directly on the photos. You control the font, size, and color of the text.

We Made it Easy.

Every feature Portraits & Prints offers is designed to quickly, efficiently and professionally print and export digital photos. With Portraits & Prints, you collect groups of images in a catalog where the photos can then be manipulated, enhanced and arranged on templates in a variety of ways without ever modifying your original photos. Enhance one image, or multiple images at the same time, with brightness, contrast, sharpness, and saturation controls. Get rid of red-eye, crop or rotate any image. All enhancements are stored within the catalog and applied to each image when it is printed or exported. This allows you to print the same set of photos in a wide variety of ways without ever destroying the original photo's quality. When you are ready to print, just select your photos, select a template, and print. It’s as easy as 1,2,3!
