[Hidden-tech] Photo Calendar Printing

[Tom Adams ~ Reelife Productions & Folktography]

Alan,

It's sort of ironic that you say "I usually use Aperture (and Photoshop),
but for some reason iPhoto is the only one that has a program for making
calendars, and a pretty user-friendly one at that" but you are looking for
less expensive options. I've been searching for
good-quality-user-friendly-calender creation software for a while too and
have also tried vista print. It's true you get what you pay for. The Vista
Print calendar's are pretty lame compared to the beautiful and customizable
calendar options in iPhoto. So, I'd love to know about any OTHER software
options that are comparable but better priced. So I guess I'm looking for
an "apples to apples" comparison...sorry, couldn't resist.
