Composite Photo can help you create new compositions from individual photos, drawings and text.

Both the frames and your photos are easy to scale (both proportionally and non-proportionally). You can rotate; change the color, hue, brightness; crop and add transparency to ensure the frame and photo fit perfectly. - Add text to a photo: You can enter any text, then select from over 150 free font types; change the text size, modify colors and position text over the photo. If you want more control of the text, just simply enter the text into a separate box (textbox) to easily manipulate the text. - Add drawings: You can draw directly onto a photo or draw on a separate box (draw box).
