iCaughtSanta.com
Review/Giveaway
I was given the opportunity to review and giveaway 5 free codes
for a free iCaughtSanta picture. This
website is actually part of a group of websites called
CatchACharacter.com. At this website you
can pick from a variety of different characters including: Santa Clause, the
Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and Cupid.
Since, it is the holiday season I did my review on Santa Clause.
To begin I went to CatchACharacter.com and clicked “Get
Started” the large green button in the middle of the webpage. Once this was clicked a window popped up
allowing me to pick which character I wanted.
It looked like this:
Following this I was taken to the iCaughtSanta.com website where
I reviewed the information. It was
really easy just 3 simple steps. At this
first page you can also preview all the different Santa Clause Poses.
Step 1: Capture/Upload your image
This was very simple I clicked on the image that said Capture
underneath it. This popped up a new
window for me to upload my image. By
clicking browse you can pick which picture on your computer you want after this
fill out your email address and name as shown below
Step 2: Create
Once this is done you click upload and it will upload the
image changing your window to your uploaded image with a box explaining what
you need to do to add Santa to your picture.
I did flip through a few pictures before picking my final image by pressing the green 'UPLOAD NEW PHOTO' button in the top right of the window.
Closing that box by clicking the little ‘x’ starts the editing
process. From here I browsed through the
Santa images and picked out the second image for mine. When you first add him he is really small so I
enlarged him about half way to max size so that he is in proportion with
everything in the picture. Now, since
the lighting is poor in my image I chose to edit the color and brightness of
Santa to make it so he matched the image better. This as well was a simple and quick
process.
The picture now looked like the image above, but I wasn’t done
yet. It is not something that is
required, but I chose to add a border. The
reasoning for maybe not picking to add a border is if you plan on printing a
4x6 image because this would most likely not print the border on the
image. In order to have the border
printed with it you need to print a 5x7 picture. I liked many of the borders and had two that
I liked the most. The pick was tough
between:
My first picture attempt in which I liked this border, but I thought it cut into the picture a little too much. These bigger borders would be perfect for an image that is set farther back.
This was my second attempt with this picture and I was happy with it, however this was my friend's Christmas tree from a previous year so I switched to the new picture.
This was my final choice of picture and border. I really liked the red, white, and green light appearance with the border and it was more on the simpler side.
Once I was happy with the last image I pressed the ‘Process
Image’ button and verified that I wanted to indeed process it. This took me to the billing page which I
added the discount code and finalized the order. After finalizing the order I had to click a
button to send a confirmation to my email.
Step 3: Share
Doing this also refreshed the page and sent me to the page
where I could download my picture, choose to print it through Walgreens (would
have to pay Walgreens and pick up the picture at my local store), and to view
the five Santa Clause videos that were made specifically with my image.
I thought you might also like to see the five videos that were
created from my picture. These can be
found below:
Over all the process of making this memorable image took me a
half an hour. This could have been done
a lot faster had I not wanted to be thorough in trying everything out to see
how everything worked with their software.
I believe that the videos as well as the picture are things that a child
will cherish and get so excited about!
