I've had a go using a template file in Photoshop but to be honest the software is just too damn difficult to use. Does anyone know of a freebie software package that will create a calendar by simply dragging, dropping resizing my images or have I got to spend January learning Photoshop

Photobox will print and bind one for you. Just upload the piccies and drop them onto the months.

did this for my Dad for Christmas and very happy with the result.

If you want more than one picture on each month then you'll need to create a collage/montage of the pictures and save it to a file and upload that.

I got the Photobox desktop calendars for family for xmas, easy enough and quality is ok although the price is slightly high, would certainly recomend, unless you want to be making your own of course.

shout PHOTOBOX!

I bought 3 of these for Christmas and all were very happy with the results.

They're very very good. Quality print, good card and useful sized boxes to write on

Thanks for the tips - I'll use Publisher (as I have it anyway) never thought of that!
