Win a Copy of LumaPix FotoFusion Professional

[Jason Dunn]

We reviewed FotoFusion last week (http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,6236), and it's one of the most unique and "just plain cool" applications I've ever used. The nice folks at LumaPix have given us a copy to give away, valued at $89.95 USD.

It's really cool to see some of the ways (http://www.fotoscraps.com/gallery/index.php) people have used FotoFusion. When I first started using FotoFusion over a year ago, I only used it for one thing: creating jumbled collages. After watching this video (http://www.lumapix.com/pages/media/videos/QuickV3Demo.wmv), it really opened my eyes up to what was possible with the program. I haven't made a DVD cover yet (http://www.fotoscraps.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=127&sort=1&cat=523&page=1), but their forums have some very creative people posting their work in them.

So how can you win a copy? Just post a message in our forums telling us how you'd use the software (i.e.: what kind of projects), and we'll randomly draw a winner. Because we tend to have people who only read the weekly newsletter interested in winning, we're going to delay picking the winner until Monday the 15th.

I'm in, I need to start doing something with all the digital pics I take. Creating the collage and exporting it to the web would probably be pretty cool.

I downloaded the trial version about four/five weeks ago when I became interested in digital scrapbooking... WOW, what a difference Fotofusion has made... I just started a project today creating collages for holiday gift calendars and am amazed at the difference between last year's calendar and what will become this year's calendars -- no more struggling with picking one photo per month - I can squeeze as many as I want, add a few scrapbook elements to enhance the pictures, as well as add captions, etc.....

If any one is just "thinking" about getting this program, by all means, it's very easy to use and with the tutorial and forum, all my questions have been readily answered...

Happy Collaging!!!

I would use it to make the video projects I give to my friends more "professional" looking.

I would use it to enhance the vhs covers and dvd covers, which I currently create using Photoshop, Publisher, and probably several other software titles. All of the before mentioned applications are great, but not one does it all in a timely, high quality manner. This looks like it will suit my purposes exactly. Of course if I spent the time totally learning one product then maybe I could do it all, but who wants to limit themselves like that :D

I think I would create some collages for eventual use on a calendar.

I'm in - my daughter does this type of work all the time, and it would be great to see how creative she can be with tools like Fotofusion.

I'd probably install it, play with it a bit, forget I have it, not use it for months, eventually try to use something else to do exactly the types of work this program does then find it sometime later and wish I had remembered it earlier.

Just being honest...

[AggieJon]

One thing that I would do with this program is make DVD covers.

[wesley762]

this looks like a great program and guess would get me making cd and dvd covers.

[Tim Williamson]

I'd probably give it to my dad who does wedding video taping as a hobby and this would be a cool way to create a DVD cover.

[hawkeye]

I'd put together many, many collages of the wife and 2 kids, preschool field trips, holidays, work events,.....

[Kursplat]

What would I do with this software? It might be easier to list what I wouldn't do with it.

I can definitely see myself creating CD/DVD covers, Christmas cards, calendars, collage pages for my various web sites, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on.

I'm glad the give-away is for the PRO version (though the PRINT version would have been SWEET!).
