ArcSoft Funhouse (formerly known as PhotoFantasy) is now available from ArcSoft, a provider of digital imaging software technologies.
Funhouse is a digital imaging software program that lets you insert personal photos and text into a variety of fantasy images. The new, renamed version sports a new interface and comes loaded with over 150 fantasy templates. Plus, you can create your own templates. Funhouse also offers editing tools for combining two or more photos into one scene. For example, you can insert the images of friends and family onto a quarterback’s body, a rock star or $100 bills.
The new Funhouse interface consists of a five-step automated process designed to simplify the capture, manipulation, and editing of digital images and text. First, you choose a stock Funhouse image or create a customized template, and choose a personal photo from a hard drive, digital camera or other source. The Funhouse program features a new editing tool that lets you “mask out” areas of the template, often a face, so that their photos can be placed inside. The program directs you to fine-tune the new template for color, size, orientation and position. You can then add text boxes to create a personalized message, and print or email the final product to friends or family.
System requirements are Mac OS 8.6 and higher (including Mac OS X), 200MB of free hard disk space, and a 16-bit color display at 800 x 600 resolution. Funhouse is now available online for US$29.99.
