How to make a collage?

I've been looking around at various software programs but I'm still not sure I've found anything that'll work. If anyone can steer me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.
I'd like to create a collage consisting of small pieces of various photos. Is there a program where I could cut out these pieces, paste them onto a blank template or something and then print the whole thing in one fell swoop?
If possible, I'd like to be able to overlap the pieces like a traditional collage- like we used to do in junior high.
Thanks so much for any help.

There are some 3rd party applications that do that. Photoshop and Photoshop Elements have that capability. Go to VersionTracker.com and do a search for "collage". You'll get a couple of possible candidates.
If you plan on doing a fair amount of sophisticated editing, like this or similar, then Photoshop Elements is probably the best consumer application for the job. IMO.

How to make a collage of 7 photos?

How to make a collage of 7 photos, using 7 photos?

Do you have Pages? It's an excellent app to make collages. You can create a canvas with Pages, drag the photos you want from iPhoto into the open Pages window, resize and position the photos as needed.
I belive the demo version of OmniGraffle - The Omni Group will let you arrange up to 10 objects on a page. I use it to create this 96 photo collage poster:
But Pages would be easier to use if you have it.

How to make a collage of photos?

I would like to be able to make a collage of about 5 photos. Can this be done in iPhoto (5.0.4) or is there a freeware program that will do this?
If so, once the collage is made, can it be used in iPhoto similar to a single image?
Thanks

Hi Herschel,
You will need a graphics program such as PhotoShop Elements.
Check out this article:

http://flyingsamphoto.com/digital-photo-guide-art-multiple-photos-one-print.shtm l
I am pretty sure you can do it with Appleworks or Pages or something similar also. You would send the document to Print and save as a pdf, then send the PDF to iPhoto.

How do i make a collage bigger then 300mm x 300mm thats all it lets me do

I'm trying to make a collage bigger then 300mm x 300mm as it wont let me go any bigger and i would like to go bigger and i don't know how?

Although Dreamweaver Templates and Library items are suitable tools for doing this, they're tedious and cumbersome at best. They get old very quickly.
By far the most efficient method is to set your navigation bar up as a Server Side Include (SSI).
SSIs are not Dreamweaver specific, they're a general web technology available on any server.
A good primer here
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/ug-examples/includes/index.htm
Do you already have a hosting account? Does it have PHP available?

Imagine a 100 or 200 page site, perfectly functioning and on the air. Then, one day, you need to add or delete some button, or simply change a link. You need to change the menubar in ALL 200 pages, and then re-publish them all. Quite a work, ah ?
Not with SSIs. Simple sitewide menu updates take a few seconds.
You edit a single text file locally (either button labels or a CSS rule for styling the button), upload (1-2 seconds) and every page on the site is instantly updated.
Much better than DW Templates.

Can any tell me how to make Collage from selected images

Hi
I need to make a Collage of selected Images. Can anybody tell me how to proceed or point me a finger in the right direction. If there is an example then it would be great.
Thanks in advance
praveena

One way you can do this is to override Panel, and set up clips, like this (mind you this is a very crude example. If you used this method, you'd want to set up loops and calculations to set the Polygon dimensions:
private class MySubPanel extends Panel {
    private Image[] images;
    private MySubPanel(Image[] _images) {
      images = _images;
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
// Just for a test, let's just assume only two Images are past in.
      int[]   xPnts = new int[] { 0,30,50,70,80, 95,75,60,45,30,15, 0},
              yPnts = new int[] {20,35,15,35,20,110,75,95,70,85,55,30};
      Polygon p     = new Polygon(xPnts, yPnts, 12);
      g.setColor(new Color(50,150,20));
      g.setClip(p);
      g.drawImage(images[0], 0, 0, this);
      xPnts = new int[] { 0,15,30,45,60,75, 95, 80, 70, 50, 30, 0};
      yPnts = new int[] {30,55,85,70,95,75,220,130,145,135,155,130};
      p     = new Polygon(xPnts, yPnts, 12);
      g.setColor(new Color(50,150,20));
      g.setClip(p);
      g.drawImage(images[1], 0, 0, this);

Collage: How to make the white background invisible?

In the print module of LR5 my collages all include the white background when I export them. Does anyone have a link they could point me to that explains how to turn this off? Everything I have researched does not address this specificly.
Thanks so much,
Ashley

You can make the background any color but not transparent. If you need a transparent background, for putting images on a web page or blog; you need to make the collage in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements or similar editing software.

How to make collage template myself pse8

I would like to be able to make a template with
rows of rectangles, squares or circles for collage work. Are there any tutorials
or can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks

Malloww,
There are several ways to do this. Here is one:
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1NmVcTyaLz9i6V7cLOoH4fMslMKr0
Open blank , new file. I used background color=white, but you can use any color. The resolution should be about the same as that of the pictures which you will display, ultimately.
Duplicate background layer, work on background copy layer, and shut off visibility of background layer by clicking on its eye icon in the layers palette
Access the rectangular marquee tool, and in the tool's option bar enter mode>fixed size, and the dimensions for height & width. Drag out the rectangle.
Open a blank layer. This should be at the top in the layers palette
Go to Edit>stroke>inside.. I chose color=red. Make the stroke a good sized width. You can select any color.
Repeat steps 3 & 5 for each position. I have 4 for the purpose of demonstration. Use elliptical marquee tool for circle and ellipse. Hold down shift key as you drag out to get the circle
Go to Layer>merge down (CTRL+E).
Access the magic wand tool, and in the tool's option bar "contiguous" should be checked. Click inside the 4 stroke boundaries, sequentially, each time hitting delete on the keyboard. This will punch a hole in each location. The checkered pattern denotes transparency
Copy, then paste your picture between the background layer and the background copy layer. I did this once here for demonstation
Use the move tool to position the picture
Let us know how you make out.

How do I make a collage in photoshop cc?

I have spent hours using tutorials and printing written info on adobe sight. I am trying to make a collage. I go to file/ new and size the background for the collage. I open all photos and size them. I think my problem is in the layers. I don't use often. My background keeps changing on layers each time I open an image even when I try layer/new. I use the move tool to drag the image but I can't get to work. Obviously doing something wrong.

Photo Collage Toolkit
Photoshop scripting is powerful and I believe this package demonstrates this A video showing a 5 image collage PSD template being populates with images:
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.
There are twelve scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.
PCTpreferences.jsx - Edit This File to Customize Collage Populating scripts default setting and add your own Layer styles.

I was able copy the hardrive of my old macbook from "My Passport" onto the desktop on an older iMac. but i dont know how to make my hardrive and user name be the main one since someone had used it in the past and had their info on the comp. please help!

I recently broke my 2008 macbook. i was able to use an external hardrive to back up my data onto My Passport. I was going to buy a new computer but a friend told me sher had an older version of the iMac. (not sure how old but it doesnt have a camera if that helps) i was able to hook it up and turn it on but i ran into a few problems. 1) the "authentic" user or whatever it says is someone who previously used the computer. i added me as a user but im not sure how to make me the main user. 2) after hooking up My Passport, i was able to drag my files and copy them to the desktop.(i think i did it correctly) now, i dont know how to make my hard drive and applications and iformation the "main " info. The current apps on the iMac are super old versions of iTunes and iPhoto and such. 3) while trying to open the apps from my macbook on the iMac, it said it didnt have the right software to open these apps.
I am so computer illiterate so someone please help!!! Also, i do not have internet in my new apartment yet so if there is a way to make this happen without using the internet that would be preferred. sorry for the horrible spelling and poorly written paragraph.
THANK YOU!!

You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one.

doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
table.TotalWidth =530f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPCell cell = new PdfPCell(new Phrase("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK)));

else if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
this.Close();
The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

How to make downloadable links in Adobe Muse

I am new to website design and am trying to figure out how to make downloadable links for some PDF flyers, PSD templates I am creating. Not sure if "downloadable links" is the correct term for what I'm trying to say but in a nutshell I am creating Business Flyer's in PDF form and Photoshop PSD template files that I would like to be able to have my users click a link that allows them to download them right to their desktop. Any help would really be appreciated!

Hi caybar10gaming,

I cannot figure out how to make the text larger on an incoming email. The finger method doesn't work and I cannot find any toolbar with which to do it. I could find nothing in settings also. Plese help and thank you.

I cannot figure out how to make the text larger in a received email. The finger method doesn't work and I can find no tool bar as I can for composing emails. I can find nothing in settings. Please help and thank you in advance.

Hi there,
Download a piece of software called TinkerTool - that might just solve your problem. I have used it myself to change the system fonts on my iMac. It is software and not an app.
Good wishes,
John.
