Holiday Calendar for the New Year: 2015

Make a pocket calendar with your own photos, put it in your wallet and carry images of your dearest close at hand.

 

You can also make a personalized calendar and give it as a gift to family members who live far away and miss you, like grannies and grandpas.

 

Christmas Photo Backgrounds, Filters and Effects

It’s time to elevate the holiday spirit! Add romantic snow backgrounds to your winter photos to make them look stylish and magical.

 
These winter photo backgrounds can also hide unsuitable details on the edges of your photo.

Add the ‘Blue Snow Bokeh’ photo effect to turn your photo into a romantic image in which light is aesthetically blurred in a way that is pleasing to the eye and that enhances the winter wonderland atmosphere. If you want to accentuate the holiday spirit of your photos, add the ‘Christmas Bokeh’ effect and enjoy how beautifully it complements your images, thanks to an artistic combination of colorful bokeh bubbles and the almost completely transparent texture of fir branches.

 
If you have not yet managed to take a beautiful portrait shot in which snow falls all around, use the ‘Snow effect’ instead! You can choose between two types of the effect: snow bokeh and realistic snowflakes.

 

To render a humorous pic, create a gif image with animated snowfall!
