Creating a photo collage in Iphoto

Does anyone know if it is possible to grab some photos in Iphoto and arrange them or stick them together to make a collage?

HI Brad,
iPhoto does not offer that option.
You need a graphic program such as Photoshop or PS Elements to do that.
There are also other third party programs to do it also.

  • Create a photo collage from iphoto

    I am trying to create a photo collage from pictures from iphoto but I have no idea where to begin. What program do I open for this and do I do a lot of cutting and pasting? I am new to the computer thing so any help would be great.

    lilgag:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There are several 3rd party application that will take a folder of photos and create a collage or mosiac of them. One will create a selected picture out of the rest of the photos. They may or may not do what you want. Search VersionTracker.com for "collage" or "mosiac".
    The other way, as you're mentioned, is to use an image editor that will let you create a blank canvas and then open, cut and past other photos to it. Photoshop Elements would be my choice for a 3rd party editor for that and most other edits. Here are a couple of examples of the extreme types of edits that can be performed by it with a little experience.

  • How to create a photo collage in iPhoto

    When sending photos from IPhoto in an email, I have lost the ability to create artistic layouts using such things as collage, black backgrounds, etc. as I used to do.  All pictures are now sent via the "Mail" program and appear stacked one above the next on a white background.  Boring!  Where do I find the old selections (there were several, depending upon the number of photos being emailed) I had before upgrading the OS?

  • .Issue with creating a photo book in Iphoto error message states some frames are missing images, but I've checked each one and from I can see they are all filled in. It won't let my buy the book though

    Having an Issue with Creating a photo Book in Iphoto. I continue to get an error message when clicking on "Buy Book" The error indicates that I'm missing a frame or frames from the book. I've checked this many times and cannot locate the issue. The book appears to be complete from my perspective. What can I do now? I worked very hard on this and would hate to lose it all.

    How did you check the book? Did you preview it?
    See:
    iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture
    Is that the message?
    "your book seems to have frames on one or more pages that do not contain photos. You must either change the layout of those pages or place photos in those frames before you can buy this book."
    The most common reason for this error is, that you have used a page layout that needs a background photo and you have not yet added the backdrop. Then the book is still showing some default grayscale image.
    Check, if one of your page layouts is using this background:
    Then you need to add a photo to the background of the page.

  • I've created a photo book in iPhoto on my iPad.  When I go to order it, it says that "Your Book contains Empty Photo Frames" but when I check each page, they all have photos.  How to I order the book?

    I've created a photo book in iphoto on my ipad.  When I try to order it (by clicking the price of the book in the top right corner) it says that Your book contains empty photo frames - add photos to the empty frames, or change the page layout to include fewer photos" but when I look at each page, there are photos in all the frames.  What do I need to do to order this book??????
    Thanks so much for any help offered!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
    And then on the right-hand side :

  • I've created a Photo Book in iPhoto, it quits uploading halfway through.

    I've spent many days creating a Photo Book using iPhoto and now I'm ready to order it! But twice now it quits halfway through the uploading process. How can I figure out what the problem is? I was really looking forward to see this project as a finished product.

    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    How does this work

  • Unable to create a photo calendar from iPhoto

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a photo calendar for the first time and it just will not work for me. I've watched the tutorial and followed instructions but something is broken. I select an event with a dozen or so pictures, then hit the calendar button. Then I choose the Big Date theme, set the start month to June 2009 and set the # of months to 1. I do not choose to import any ical calendars. After clicking the OK button, the dialog windows stays open and the OK button goes gray. Nothing ever happens. The only thing I can do at this point is Cancel to dismiss the dialog. If I try a second time, both the OK and Cancel buttons are grayed out. At that point, the only thing I can do is kill iPhoto with Activity Monitor.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior? Please help a mac newbie!

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    The minimum number of months in an iPhoto calendar is 12 - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3412 - try doing a 12 month calendar and I think it will work. Hanging is not a good "error exit" for the incorrect number of months but I suspect that is what is going on

  • What is the ideal resolution for photos when creating a photo book in iphoto?

    Can you tell me what is the ideal resolution for photos I use to create a photo book from my iphoto library? 

    The DPI depends on the size of the image to be printed by the image file.  A 639 x 960 image could print a 3.5  x  5 photo at 180 DPI.  This website explains it further: The Myth of DPI.  
    So use the smaller photos only in the smaller frames on multiple photo layouts for best results.

  • Quality of photo when creating a photo book from iphoto

    i am in the process of creating a photo book however i am downloading pictures from facebook and i am not sure if the qulaity will be good enough for print, will i be told during this process as i havent been yet and dont want to pay for something that isnt right. thanks

    There is another potential issue. While you may have enough pixels, the plain fact is that not all pixels are the same. When a photo is uploaded to Facebook they 'process' it - and in the course of that throw away about 90% of the data in the file. What that means is that a lot of the character and depth of the photo may be lost when printed. Unfortunately, this is not something that iPhoto can warn you about.

  • Creating a Photo Collage in PSE8

    How can I create a 16"x24" photo collage in PSE8 with 5 photos?  I want 1 photo to be the main focal point and to be the largest and then 2 photos medium size and 2 photos smaller. 
    Thanks,
    Carissa

    Go to File>new>blank file. Enter the dimensions, background color, resolution (240-300px/in range for printing). This will be your canvas.
    Do the math and figure out how large each of the 5 photos should be for this project.
    Crop the pictures to specification. It is desirable to have the resolution of these 5 pictures the same value as the resolution of the canvas.
    Copy/paste the 5 pictures, or drag them up from the photobin, into the work area. Each picture will be on its own layer.
    Use the move tool to position the pictures, and to resize them, if necessary, with the corner handles of the bounding box.
