Snapshot 2: Bringing The Photo Lab To Your Mac
Apple January 16th, 2007
Dan Messing of Stunt Software has released version 2 of the application Snapshot (previously PhotoBooth). Snapshot brings the power of a photo lab to you computer. Printing your digital images has never been easier, it gives you full control over the print size and how you want to crop and frame your picture. You can even add borders and speech bubbles to your images.

Version 2 has many improvements over the previous release, including a complete redesign of the user interface, a choice of different layout styles, and printing of contact sheets (commonly known at the lab’s as index sheets).
Snapshot is very useful if you have a high-quality printer which allows you to print onto photo paper. It will save you time and money by allowing you to make prints of your favorite images without having to step out of your office. Convenient? Check.
The images your print are much cooler than ones ordered from a lab, as you can add stylish borders to your image, and add text and speech bubbles for added appeal and effect.
Another awesome feature of Snapshot is how it automatically fits as many pictures on a page as possible to save expensive photo paper. This will allow you to print even more of your favorite snapshots, and the money it saves you in paper will pay for the applications price before you even know it.
Snapshot 2 is an 8.8MB download from Stunt Software, and retails for $29.95. There is a free trial available if you want to take it for a spin before you buy.

Nice, Good find Glenn. Its GUI doesn’t look too dis-similar to Iphoto’s does it? I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on a trial but [in your opinion] is it better than Iphoto?

It serves a different purpose to iPhoto, so you cant really compare the two. For the job it does, it does is very very well.

I think I’ll try this out, I was just about to do some printing anyways. I wonder if it’ll save me any paper.

It says it was previously called PhotoBooth, did Apple buy the name off that guy or something?

I tried this software out last week, and printed some photos with a fairly ordinary printer and photo-paper. The photos now stand framed :) Following which I wrote Dan Messing with some suggestions. Its a brilliant peice of software if you want to custom print photos or artwork. I will be writing a short brurb on Snapshot on my site too.

Shreedhan, no, Apple didn’t buy the name as far as I know.

How can I get my Sierra Snap shop 2 program to work on my new computer that has Windows XP. Any help appreciated.

I have been told that Snap Shot 2 will not work with Windows XP. Is that true.
Can I have Windows 98 installed to make Snap Shot 2 work, and still use Windows xp for the rest of my work.Any body know the answers. Thanks
