Thanks for teh suggestion jojo! Fotowall is fairly promising - I like that it's a portable app - but it doesn't seem to have any (functional) alignment options, which is kind of a must for really good results. Judging by the examples on the website, alignment should be possible (or someone was very careful aligning things for the examples), but I couldn't figure out how to do it at any rate. I did see one or two grayed out options that might have done it, but couldn't get them to activate. Judging by the very-much-in-progress nature of the program and its pre-1.0 status, maybe these are features that are just yet to be added/enabled. I'll keep an eye on it.-JavaJones
Not sure what you mean by alignment. You can drag photos all over the canvas, bring them to the front or push them to the back, rotate, them, increase or decrease their size, etc. However, there does not seem to be any alignment like take 2 or more photos and make centers line up or something like that (like you can do in Powerpoint).
Try opening a few photos at once and they will appear on the canvas. Then when you put your mouse in the photo, look at the corners. You can grab there and do all kinds of tricks. Right-click in the photo and you will get more options.
If you click on one of those icons next to setup in the top right part of the screen, you can send the author your suggestions.
