ID Photo Maker Editor's Review

Even the most user-accessible photo editing software can still prove unwieldy for smaller jobs. That’s exactly why ID Photo Maker makes one of life’s little necessities as easy as 1, 2, 3; replicating the ease of a real life photo-booth on your desktop. Rather than spend your time fiddling with a photo editing suite, ID Photo Maker does it all for you.

To start you simply choose a picture from your hard-drive, or take one within the software using a connected webcam or digital camera. You choose which ID format you want then after a few easy clicks you’re done: ID Photo Maker will crop the photo automatically to the perfect size. You can even use a compact suite of editing tools if you’re looking to customise the colour or the background.

Pros: Easy to use, fast – ID Photos within a minute, printer friendly.

Cons: Expensive for those looking for single use software.

Conclusion: Anyone who’s not massively comfortable with photo editors, or someone looking to edit batches of photos, will find something to like here: None of the hassle, but thanks to a compact set of editing tools, those with a desire to customize can.

Despite the time it saves though, the full $99.69 license will only appeal to those editing on a larger scale. And the lowest purchase bracket ($7.69 for 10 uses) doesn’t help those looking to run off a couple of photos and leave it at that. Despite the cost though, you can’t fault ID Photo Maker’s ease-of-use.
