Image Touch

This app allows you to make photo collages from images on your iPhone that look similar to scrapbooking pages, only smaller. You can either use images you’ve taken using your iPhone or images you have synched to your iPhone from other sources.

Adding images to your collage is easy. All you have to do is select one from your camera roll of photo library. Then you can use the pinching gestures we’ve all come to love to shrink or enlarge the image. You can also rotate the image in whatever direction you’d like by twisting your fingers.

The program has some default shapes you can use to spruce up your collage. Currently they have summer and winter holidays (palm trees, suns, snowmen, candy canes, etc.) and feelings (hearts, tear drop roses, light bulbs, other items to add tone to your images). Once you’ve selected a piece of clip art, just touch the screen to put it where you’d like it to go. Tap the screen again to place more than one. Just be careful or your screen will quickly fill with dozens of candy canes before you realize.

Holding your finger down on the photo allows you to add effects to the photo, specifically borders and shadows. Holding your finger down on the background allows you to change the color to one of 24 defaults.

Once you’re done with your collage, you can save it to your image library and even email it to anyone in your contacts list. This was a fun app that did what was advertised. I would like to see more clip art to add to collages as well as more custom backgrounds, but it is definitely a great start.
