Photo Collage Slow

Photo Collage runs real slow between each step. If I get anxious and click the mouse on anything, the program asks if I want to close the program or wait for it to respond.
It appears that the photo collage will perform all the functions, but it takes so long for just one page with 2 photos that it is not worth the effort.
I'm running PSE 6 on Vista with a new Dell Vostro with 4 gbyte.
Is there a configuation option that I have got wrong or an update needed, etc.?

Hey Ron,
The Photocollage creation is indeed a little slow.
Cheers

Photo collage and internet connection

I demonstrated the Create section of Elements today with over 20 people. We were looking at the Photo Collage section.
What a shock it was to discover that it can't be used unless you have an active connection to the Internet. I don't remember ever seeing this bit of information.
Even when people got signed in, there were too many of us to run the program efficiently.
Did we do something wrong? I have used it at home and never saw anything that said it was connecting to the Internet to run!

If your DNS server is running correctly, there's no reason why it should resolve any slower than the router. The fact you're mentioning it implies that the delay is significant so I'll guess that your clients are requesting an address from your server, but that's timing out so they're falling back to the router before proceeding.
You should check your DNS server to make sure it's set to be recursive (so it answers queries for non-local domains, too). That way the clients can get all lookups from your server and you should be good to go.

Why is my photo collage not saving correctly?

I have only just got PSE 9, and am enjoying all the things you can do with it, so I thought I would try to make a photo collage for my family. I watched the video and it seemed straightforward enough, and I have made the collage. However, when I go to save it, although it appeas in the organiser, you cannot see a preview of the picture. All you see is a what I can only describe as a torn picture frame with one corner turned up. I can double click on the image in finder n my mac, and it will open the collage perfectly. I can also save it as a jpeg, and view it in preview. I want to order the print, so that I can get it a bigger size, but when I select it, it does not recognise the file type, either as a photoshop file or as jpeg. I also tried finding it using a jessops application that i downloaded some time ago, but the filename is greyed out. I have to admit, I'm at a bit of a loss!

The collage maker has a few bugs. I can’t even use mine as I get an error message as soon as I select any size image. Also there is a very restricted choice of templates. I’m on Windows so you experience is possibly different.
You can do it manually in Full Photo Edit
Click File >>New >>Blank File

Why is the new iOS 8 photo app slow handling photo raw files

I Have been importing my photos to ipad using the camera kit since the first iPad was released.
Originally I only imported JPEG, however as my photographic interest grew I switched to photo raw.
I have since being importing and edit pentax PEF photo raw files through the various versions of iOS, however since this new version the experience of editing and viewing my photos is slow, and unpleasant.
Choose a photo to view, and a blurry picture appears, and a second or 3 and the blurry images clears and I can view my photo, now swipe left to the next picture and the photos move as they should then stick half of the first picture is shown and half of the second, wait 2 / 3 seconds and the second picture is revealed, blurry, and wait another second or to and it clears. It carries on in this fashion, and it turns a pleasant experience, into a frustrating one.
on previous versions of iOS there would be a small pause as images loaded, but it was always smooth to move from picture to picture.
i Have tried switching to RAW+ hoping that only the attached JPEG would be imported. This did not appear to work with the whole image being imported.
please anyone how can I get back to the iOS photo app that worked better with raw photo files?

Briansyddal - you might be able to manage your phone without a PC, but many of us can't, especially those of us with large iTunes libraries. How do you propose I manage my 250GB of music using only a phone? Maybe I could go out and buy 10 iPhones and spread my library out among them!
Catz537 - I have the same problem as you and I've spent hours on the web trying to find a solution to it. It was a problem with iOS 7 and 8.1.1 doesn't fix it. The the only advice from Apple is completely useless because it requires you, effectively, to delete and recreate your iTunes library and lose all your metadata, album art, notes etc and there's also no guarantee it will work. I wish I could be more help (even more - I wish Apple could be more help) - I updated to 8.1.1 at 1400 today. At 2200 I'm still "waiting for changes to be applied" for a measly 16GB of music transfer.

How Do I Create A Photo Collage in Final Cut Pro X?

Hi all,
I'm a total newbie with Final Cut Pro X. I'm using it to edit aerial drone footage for real estate sales.
I have video from the outside of the houses, and I can edit that just fine. What I want to do, though, is have a kind of photo collage/montage of photos of the interior of the houses somewhere in the videos. But like I said, I'm totally new at this and have no idea how to do it.
If someone could explain how or point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I put out a remake of the Photo Recall effect a few weeks ago called Photo Recall Enhanced (it adds a lot more features to the effect already available in FCPX.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I8Lo0tFdPU
(there's more info in the About section under the video.) There's no charge.
All you need to do is stack the images or video you want to collage on the sceen and add this Effect to each clip. You can set the Background Opacity to 0% to get rid of the "recall" effect and that will leave you with just the "photo" on the screen. There's an onscreen control to help you position the image and other parameters for scaling and rotating (and all of these things can be keyframed for animation.

PSE 6.0 will not display photo collage theme or layout

I just purchased PSE 6.0 for imac on Tues. I would like to use the photo collage option, but zero options work. I installed it/uninstalled it and it still did not fix it. It is in the process of downloading ADOBE BRIDGE CS3 WITH START MEETING 1.0.1. I have waiting a day and a half for it to update, it will not finish the update.
I have also called apple icare for support and they troubleshot everything and have determined that it is a software problem.
Please help. I have photos to finish.

Could what be? Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.
First thing to try: quit PSE, then go to your hard drive>library>application support>Adobe>Photoshop Elements>6.0>Locale>en_US (that will be different if you aren't in the US) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. In the Photoshop Elements>6.0 folder level, also delete ThumbDatabase.db3. Note that these files are in the library folder at the top level of your hard drive, NOT in system>library or your username>library.
Repair permissions and relaunch PSE. Let it sit for a few minutes without using the program to give the database time to rebuild. You can try once you see the icons appear in the Effects palette.

Help with photo collage in Elements 10

I am new to Photoshop Elements 10. I am trying to create a photo collage, but a window pops up saying "Valid size not available for this creation". Can someone help me fix this so I can create??

You can select the layout-horizontal or vertical while choosing a theme for the collage. As you select the theme in Photo collage dialog, it shows the size as x*y inches or y*x inches which decides whether your collage would be portrait or landscape.
Let me know if that helps!

Elements 9 problems with photo collage

I have 4 days to print a photo collage series in PE9! I have watched the video, read how tos & searched forum. Please send help!
I am trying to make a photo collage, 5 on a 8 1/2x11 using the landscape, with white background & simple text. Click the collage button, get a pile on 1 page, go to layout & pick landscape with 5, get portatit with 5. Can't get a plain white background neither. How do I do this? If I try to hard the program crashes. It's only 30 pictures! I did not have this problem in PE8. I am lost & running out of time. What do I do???? CJ

Suggest that you make your own collage, esp. since time is running out. Do the math and determine the size that each of the 5 pictures should be, leave enough room to add text.
Crop each picture to the appropriate size.
Go to File>new>blank file, enter height and width of your document, background white, resolution 300px/in. The resolution of the pictures should be the same.. However, resolution 240-300px/in is probably ok for printing
Open the 5 picture files. Access pict. #1, go to Edit>copy, open the blank file created in step #3, then go to Edit>paste
Repeat for the other pictures. Each will on on its own layer. Use the move tool to position, and resize with the corner handles if necessary.
Using the type tool add text.
TIP: Open the grid to help you to position the pictures. The grid can be configured via Edit>Preferences>Guides and grid. You may want to check "snap to grid" under View>snap to grid

Photo collages in Elements 11

In my previous version of Photoshop (I think 6) I was able to easily create a completely custom photo collage. I've been frustrated in my attempts to do the same in Elements 11. No. 1, how can I get a plain white background? Am I really stuck with the choices the program provides? No. 2, more importantly, how can I resize a photo once I put it on the collage? I used to be able to use the corner arrows to shrink or blow up a photo. I can't even figure out how to get the arrows...

In photoshop Elements 11 and 12, there is an option to create automatic collage using the opened photos in the creation panel. follow the following steps:
open all the images you want to put in the collage
go to create > photo collage.This would lanch a panel to select the collage size for printing.make sure that the option to autofill selected images is checked. Once done, it would automatically fill the images in the collage.
move, resize or reinsert your images as you want. You can choose from different layouts and graphics for collage. If you aren't satisfied with what you get, you can switch to adnaced mode from the button on top left corner of the image and edit the collage like you would do in the expert mode.
Happy Editing

Photo Collage Crashes PE 6 for Mac

I have PE 6 on an Imac - 2.66 dual core with 4 gig memory. When I use the Create Photo Collage feature, it crashes the program. The collage finishes, but then a dialogue box appears that says" Can not complete request because of a program error." This dialogue box will not go away when I hit okay, it comes back like a plague. I have uninstalled the program twice and reinstalled it twice, each time restarting and downloaded a new install program as well. Any ideas where the conflict is coming from. It occurs with Bridge open and with Bridge closed and with different tools selected.

You can't customize the toolbar for any version of Elements, unfortunately. You might try using the standard mac Open command (command+O), which will save you some mousing.

How do I make a photo collage in CS5?

I am trying to make a 12x18 photo collage in PS CS5 and cannot find how to do it. Is there a way? My Epson R2880 printer will handle 13x19 paper. TIA, Bill P.

Hello there!
First you are going to want to start a new file. File > New. This brings up the new file dialog. Enter in the document sizes that you want. I also set the pixels at 300.
This is the new document that was made. You can begin from here dragging and dropping the photos that you want to make your collage with.
The following videos show you how to create the collage.
Please post back if you have any questions,
Janelle
