Software for photo collage?

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Does anyone know of software that can make a collage of iPhoto photos for a card? (Like a Christmas card).
3 or 4 pictures on one card - as opposed to 1?
A collage in the sense that there are 3 or 4 distinct photos (with distinct boundaries) - not blurring over and overlapping one another.
iPhoto has a template for such, but then you can only order that template from Apple (at $1.99 per card!).
I read somewhere that perhaps this could be done in Keynote, but I don't yet see how. Keynote seems rooted in single slides.
Thank you,
- Ross

    Whats the best software for photo editing and creating product catalogues that can be saved as PDF's

    You are asking two different questiions:
    1. What's a good photo editor? Answer to that here is probably obvious.
    2. What's a good desktop publishing/page layout program for creating PDF files for production? Answer, not PSE. It's a photo editor, not a page layout program.

  • What is the best software for photos

    FIRST TIME I USED A BLOG. NEED YOUR HELP NOT SURE WHAT PHOTO SOFTWARE I NEED .I HAVE A NIKON D3200 .MACBOOK PRO 15 INCH.WOULD LOVE TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE BETTER PHOTO AND USE THE PHOTO FOR LARGE PRINTS IN OUR HOME AS ART WORK.AS WELL AS PHOTO OF OUR CHILDERN.

    Terence and daikambu65 addressed already the software options. But your original questions asks about taking photos:
    would love to learn how to take better photo and use the photo for large prints in our home as art work.as well as photo of our childern.
    This makes me think, you have not yet taken many photos and just bought a new camera.  If that is right, I'd recommend to focus on learning how to take good photos first.  Even the best software cannot help much, if the photo has been taken badly. Image processing software can turn a very good photo into a perfect photo, but poor photos will never be fit to be framed, even with the best software applied. 
    First, try to find out what your camera can do and how to use it.  Explore the effects of the available light on the subjects and the depth of field, how to focus on the eyes of a person. Explore, how your photos  will change due to the perspective - when I am taking photos of little children or animals, for example, I'll go down on my knees, to be able to take the photo eye to eye and not from above.  For photos of buildings I try to find a viewpoint, that will show parallel lines in the building also parallel in the photos. One way to learn how to take good photos is to look at professional photos and compare them to what you are seeing when looking through the viewfinder. Observe, how the photos have been cropped to attract the attention to details, how the light enhances the details, how shapes and colors are used.
    If you're new to all this you might find iPhoto - which comes free with your Mac -  a good place to start. It's easy to use and covers all the basics.
    I second Terence's suggestion.  iPhoto is a great way to get started with digital photography. I used iPhoto from day one it came out, and only switched to Aperture, when Aperture 3 was available.   iPhoto will help you to keep your photos organized in a library and provides a set of easy to use tools for the most commonly required tools to touch up your photos. Straighten the horizon, enhance the contrast, sharpen the image, crop the photo to the relevant section, retouch minor blamishes. This will cover most of the corrections you will need.
    And once you know, what kind of post processing and database structure you really need and want, you can easily switch from iPhoto to Aperture, because both programs are sharing the same photo library format. I am still using both applications in turns on the same library.

  • Photo Collage Software

    Has anyone had experience with Photo Collage Software programs? I have created collages in the various Adobe programs placing each photo and lining them all up but I am looking for a way to do a quick, drag and drop.
    With that in mind, since I'm not a PhotoShop Pro, can a template be made where you can select (or drop on) a background, and have other "containers" you could drop photos into and then send to a photo processor for an 8x10, 11x14, or 16x20 output?
    If this can be created in PhotoShop it would save time and $'s. I just need some hints to begin achieving it. Or should I take this query to the InDesign forum?
    Thanks for any advice, suggestions, etc.

    If you are interested in a simple app that creates a collage at a click of a button, you could download the trial version of Microsoft AutoCollage http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/cambridge/projects/autocollage/Download.aspx. This program takes the pictures in the folder that you specify, shuffles them and creates an automatic collage.  If you don't like the way the pics are distributed you just click on the Create button again and the pics are shuffled again.  You might have to click up to 10 times before you get something you like, but it only takes seconds and it's fun to watch.  The app has facial recognition, but you can also manually circle the part of the picture which needs to be protected (not cut off or covered by another pic in the collage). I made a quick example with 8 standard desktop wallpaper photos.  As I said, this app is only if you don't need to have full control over the collage.

  • Scanner and Software for Lion with document feeder to Scan thousands of photos

    I have an older HP PhotoSmart Print 7280 that can scan photos.  On the PC HP had software that would allow you to scan through the document feeder and batch correct/crop the photos before creating files.  This printer/scanner doesn't have HP software for Lion.  I am looking for a Scanner or Software solution that will allow me to scan through the feeder and to crop in batches.  I have used Image Capture on the Mac to scan.  It work great to crop and edit photos if you put them them on the flatbed.  You can load 3 photos and it will allow you to crop them and to make them individual files.  However if you use the "feeder" setting it treats what you are scanning as a document and you don't have the ability to edit/crop before accepting the files.  So what you get are images that have a lot of white space around them.
    I am looking for a solution that would allow me to do this in a quicker manner than 3 photos at a time on the flatbed.  I Don't rule out buying a new all in one printer to do this.  I also looked into other scanning software like VueScan, but it doesn't appear to have a batch edit/crop mode after running through the feeder.
    Any advice on how to attack this would be great.
    Thanks

    That should be easy to fix with something like SintraWorks PDF Nomand or PDF Clerk Pro.

  • TS3147 Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

    Can't install the software for the EPSON Epson Stylus Photo R2000 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server???
    I am using mac osx 10.8 and now cant get print software for epson R2000 printer.

    After system update, my Epson Stylus SX 535WD was ''gone''. I tried in vain to add it as an IP printer (got the IP-address from the printer). The printer model is correctly recognized, software download starts -- but then  the "software ... is not currently available..."
    Resetting  the printing system did not help. Downloading Epson Printer Drivers v2.15.1 from  here
    did not help either, downloading Epson Printer Drivers.
    In the end, I re-installed the printer software from the original CDs. After that the printer showed up as a Bonjour Printer, and I could add it without problem.
    But note: although the printer is installed now and working properly, I still get the old error message (...software ..not available...) if I try to add the printer as an IP printer !?

  • Any recommendations for a recovery software for my lost photos on my external drive?

    Would like recommendations for a reputable recovery software for my lost photos from my external drive that I used with my MacBook Pro.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • Photo Gallery Software for Mac OS X Server

    I'm porting my Linux server infrastructure over to Mac OS X Server. I've successfully moved over my DNS, Mail and most of my web sites to Mac without a problem. However, the last website is causing me a bit of pain. In Linux I was using Gallery 2 (http://gallery.menalto.com/), but I'm not sure how to get this to work on Mac OS X. In particular there are a bunch of dependencies that I'm not sure exist in Mac (ffmpeg, etc.)
    * Is there an alternative photo gallery software that people use which may install/work better on the Mac? We have wiki and blog services in the Web Server Admin pane, but I don't see a photo gallery service.
    * Has anybody had success in using gallery2 over to the Mac? What dependencies were needed and how did you find them?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi
    For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
    http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
    It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

  • 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.

  • O.T. Are You Interested In Photo Masking/Compositing Software For Windows ?

    'Recomposit is a photo masking and compositing tool which precisely isolates image object from its background and merges it with others. The advanced masking methods: Bluescreen also called chroma key technology and inside/Outside edge will keep any details, hair, edge, shadow and transparency after they are recomposed. Recomposit also provides full environment to further compositing work without any support from other softwares.'

    Hmmmm -- I'm not sure why the sofware company would be censored, but I can certainly see why the cu combination might (as it could be netspeak for other things).
    I actually did check out about four other Windows type conversion software for Apple TV and none of them was as fast and/or offered batch conversion. I know you're a Mac guy so I assume you advise people not to buy this because of hearsay, but that could still be valid depending on the source (however, if I'm wrong and you have personal experience with it forgive me).
    I've been working in the video industry for 3 decades so I do have a little experience with judging video quality (although none of my work involved the newer codecs -- I retired long before H264 came along). Based on my comparison with what I did for broadcast the software does a good job but perhaps it's smoke and mirrors. I can only attest to the results and not to any other controversy surrounding it.
    To me the batch conversion is the key -- if there is other software that can convert multiple files (into discreet files) then I'd be willing to check it out.
