Posterino: Create Gorgeous Posters & Postcards (15% off during Macworld)

Photos can be a pain when getting hard copies; iPhoto makes it easy to browse them, but if you want to print them, it’s not that simple or easy to do. Posterino helps you make great photo posters, as well as beautiful postcards without any of the associated hassles.

So, let’s start with posters. Posterino lets you drag photos into a premade frame; it’s simple to use, and is very quick to do if your photos are in an iPhoto Album, as you can drag the whole lot from the browser at the side of the window, and they will auto fill. If you don’t like the frames you can make your own easily, by simply adding frames, then saving it as a template. Because of this, it keeps everyone happy: the less creative people like myself who want something quick, easy and already done; as well as the artists who want to make a mat themselves.

Posterino allows you to export to many different places, including web services such as Flikr, or Apple’s Mail and iPhoto. If you export it to iPhoto, you can then use iPhoto’s built in Photo printing service (with Kodak) to get it printed, a nice feature to get your photos off you Mac. My favourite feature of Posterino is the Postcard function. You use it in the same way as the Poster composition I described above, but you make postcards. The difference with Posterino is that you don’t need to print them yourself. You can export them, and get them professionally printed and sent anywhere in the world. They cost €2.99/$3.99 each, but for that you get postage and a professionally printed and personal card. Apple does a similar service, but you get the cards and then have to send them yourself; Posterino makes it easy to send a postcard directly to the recipient.

Posterino is just $24.95, and well worth it in my opinion; especially as it include 3 free postcards. But lets make that deal just a little sweeter, Christoph Priebe of Zykloid Software has told us of their special Macworld deal, where you can get 15% off. Just use the discount code POSTERINO365 during Macworld week, ending on January 18th. Grab it while you can over at their website.
