Funtastic Photos by Ohanaware is both a photo wrangler and simple photo editor. The photo manager feels like iPhoto, while the editing features are like Picassa. Well actually Funtastic goes a bit deeper than both of those. Let’s take a closer look.

First Up: Photo Browser

The first thing you notice is that Ohanaware has smartly used Apple’s photo system. Funtastic can read the usual JPEG, PNG and GIF as well as PSD and RAW. There are ‘Quick Look’ and ‘Get Info’ buttons right on the browser window. The top bar of the browser window also has save, print and edit buttons. Along the left side of the window, the familiar list of places, including drives, folders and desktop are there for easy viewing. Highlighting one puts all the available photos and photo folders in the large viewing window. You can take a quick snap with the iSight right in the app. Funtastic Photos has included iPhoto in it’s picture indexing process. In fact in the share menu, you can export to iPhoto libraries. More about that later. The browser window is very easy to navigate, with a useful photo interface. There is even a favorites button if you need to track an often used photo. The print features are impressive. You can shoose from many scrapbook like layouts, photomosaic (using your full library), photocubes, cards and calendars.
