GIMP :: How To Edit Collage Created In Shape Collage Program
Apr 15, 2013
I have a small business doing canvas stretch pictures. A client of mine has asked me to do a collage of 27 photos and I used Shape Collage to do so. She wanted a collage with all the photos in a regulated format. That is Avg.Angle zero degrees, Max. Angle zero degrees, Offset X zero and Offset Y zero. After creating the collage I saved it as a PSd file. So Far So good. I then opened Gimp 2.8.4 and was quite confused as the latest program appearance is nothing like the tutorials and images on the net. However I was able to open the image of the collage by importing the psd file. I was also able to edit the photos and reposition them according to her wishes. I then saved the file as a psd. She wanted to see a jpeg copy of the collage as she does not have photoshop on her pc. In order to show her I had to flatten the psd and then save it in photoshop to a jpeg format. She now wants me to add one more photo to the existing collage.
to Photoshop elements and will be needing to make: collages consisting of multiple photos from my personal files usually between five and 10 total photos. Yesterday while browsing Photoshop elements frequently asked questions I came across an answer explaining how to do this using full edit.
I am wondering how I can make a simple collage of three or four photo's. Something like a progression of movement, or a film strip kind of look. I am able to do this in Picasa but I am not happy with the resolution of the final product. I assume it is to do with layers. Here is what I would like to be able to do [URL] ..........
I am trying to make a collage which will be printed(=300 DPI) on A3(420 × 297 mm) sized paper. The images I want to take elements from for my collage are all different in size and DPI. When these elements come together they should be similar in size in order to create a new believable scene. 1 element can't be absurdly large in relation to another.
So what I did for my first image (size of 3456 × 2304 pixels, a print-size of 1219,20 × 812,80 mm and DPI 72 × 72) was increase the DPI to 600 in order to obtain a smaller printsize - reducing it to 146,30 × 97,54 mm - cut-out the elements I need and import them into my A3 document. This gave me the size I need for my elements.
However when I try to take elements out of the second image (size of 1500 × 1125 pixels, a print-size of 211,67 × 158,75 mm and DPI 180 × 180) - which I leave unchanged because 211,67 × 158,75 mm is about the size I need for the elements - and place them into the A3 document they are too small. Same story for the third image (size of 2400 × 1600 pixels, a print-size of 304,80 × 203,20 mm and DPI 200 × 200)
I want to create a collage image with numerous large photos, each in it's own layer during editing. In order to fit, all the images need to be scaled down to varying degrees, but when I'm starting out, I'm not sure what scale each image will need to be. With the default, if I shrink them too much then they get pixellated when I try to enlarge them again. Is there a way of enabling gimp to scale each image, but drop this version and reuse the original data on future scale operations (ie a "lossless" scaling operation)?
Currently I'm having to essentially create the collage twice - first time various shrink and expands til all images fit together, then start again but just rescale once to the required size.
I presume I'm correct in thinking there's no record function in GIMP yet, so I can't record my actions to GIMP then just delete redundant steps and replay...
I have a project where the client wants a photo collage and have each picture pop out individually from the collage. I have VS Pro X4. I have been unable to figure out how to do this.
I'd like to create some simple collages but cannot afford the full-blown Photoshop right now. Will Elements allow me to create collages? If so, is there anything that I won't be able to do that I could do (as it relates to collage work) with the full edition?
I'd like to combine a number of cropped photos (2x2, for instance) into a larger photo (8x10 or so) that I can ultimately have printed at Costco. I've checked a number of PE4 "help" books and none of them seem to address this. I'm sure it can be done; it seems rather straightforward, given some of the other complex features that PE4 offers.
Trying to crop photos and then arrange them on the canvas cannot seem to maintain the perspective. Am using about 8 fingers...to hold loads of keys but nothing working....
Any ideas on how to duplicate the brush strokes in this collage that seem to integrate the background color with the individual pictures, making for a wonderful transition between background and pictures? I have tried it many ways without complete success. Attachment 17051
I have placed a few images onto a background, I cannot seem to resize each individual image to my pre-determined sizes (for a business portfolio sheet) without also resizing the 'page' on which I'm trying to place them. I've tried image size, canvas size, transform, etc. but when I am in the specific layer trying to resize it, it still seems to resize the whole document (even though I didn't select canvas size).
Been a while since I've gotten to play with PS. But I just got PSCS2 and wanted to play with it. And I remembered making a Euro Collage in my PS class (lol, was named Web Graphics using Photoshop 7.0) Anyway, I have lost all my notes and cannot remember what elements I need for a Euro Collage. I do remember a few things, but not everything. I have looked on the web but they don't say what elements comprise a Euro Collage. Or if anyone knows a link I could follow, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I am looking for instructions (tutorial) on how to do a photo collage in photoshop 10. I keep seeing ways to do it in ps11 even though I'm working on 10.
There was a special offer here with Groupon for printed canvasas, I've stocked up as there were a couple of images I always wanted blown up to +/- A1 size. However, I bought more than I needed. With the couple I have left, my plan is to create a collage of photos from my collection and then have it printed.
My question is, what software package is best for this? We had a professional photo shoot done a couple of months ago, and the photographer used Lightroom when we he was displaying the pictures for us to choose, and I presume that this would also have been used for the editing and creating the collage?
I'm not after anything fancy, just something that is realitvely easy to use, and let's me drag and drop them into a template. photos are all in either 16:9 or 6:4 ratio, and my plan was to have just simple rows of photos going along?
How to blend several images to make soft edges between each other. All I have come up with super impose other images onto each other or put a feather around the edges.
I have stared to create a collage, after inserting some of the images, I saved the project and closed the program (x3). When I opened again the callage, all the inserted images was merged together and I can move only all of them together.
How can I separate the images so I will be able to move each of them separately in order to insert more images and change the order of them in the collage.
I want to take three pictures and put them together on a particular background. I can't figure out how to change the sizes of the pictures. ( not the file size the literal size).
Photo Colage does not open! when selected the following window appears and lockes up the programme. I am running windows 7 Professional with 8gb ram, i5 cpu.
I tried to create a collage from 3 images. I choose this three images and select the format. After that I click Ok, then PSE will crash. I repeat this a few times by using other formats, but still this wont work.
I am using Microsoft Windows 8 and Photoshop Elements 11.
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.
