Sending postcards is a way to share special events from your life, but pre-made postcards sometimes lack the personalization of using your own photos. You can create postcards using one or more photos using the iPhoto software that comes with every Mac computer. The software offers many templates to choose from, making it simple to add your images and customize the text to your liking. The software even gives you the option to order a printed copy of the postcard directly.
Step 1
