Fotowall, an open source photo software for creating pictures and custom posters, has released a new version.
According to the release information, Fotowall 1.0 ‘RETRO’ “is the final release for Fotowall; after more than a million downloads (even excluding the installs through Linux distros) and after having revolutionized the direct-manipulation graphic-composition when it came out in 2007, it’s time for the last stretch of glory.”
Fotowall 1.0 is a simple software used to create pictures using the various creative tools that it offers. You can use it to arrange your photos, add text and live videos from your webcam as well as pictures from the Internet.
With Fotowall you can create wallpapers, collage, covers, postcards and original pictures. It can also be used to print very big posters using a small printer. The recent version of Fotowall supports text and Internet content integration.
Fotowall may not be one of the best photo applications for Linux like Gimp, but it does simple tasks in an easier way. You don’t have to fiddle through a number of options just to add some text on a photo. This review of Fotowall 0.9 will help you understand its features and capabilities:
Fotowall 1.0 ‘RETRO’ is available for both Linux and Windows. As an opensource program, the source code is also available for those who are interested.
