Can anyone suggest cheap or free software or templates for collages. It's a hobby not a profession, I can't afford another $600.00. thanks for your help! http://sitekreator.com/Bryandrum/main_page.html > Can anyone suggest cheap or free software or templates for collages.

Cripes, they're not that bad. I've seen far worse from people claiming to be a professional rather than a hobbyist. Also, stopping by to do nothing but post a snotty comment seems to me to be a rather pointless way to spend one's time.  SignatureAngela M.

Just create a new file of whatever dimensions that you have paper to print. Flood fill this image with white. Open up the images that you want to collage, on each do Edit-> Copy. Go to the big image, Edit-> Paste (how you do the pasting will depend on your image editor, in Paint Shop Pro, I'd do Edit-> Paste as New Layer putting each image on it's own layer so it can be moved about easily).

I guess I should say I need help with collage design, not how to do collages. I am never satisfied with how my collages look. ( maybe it's just the poor photography : ) ) >> Can anyone suggest cheap or free software or templates for collages.

If you mean a cluster of small photographs, I would suggest not doing them. There's no money in selling small prints. > > THANKS for your help.

There's no money to be made in selling small prints. If you're truly creating photographic art, it needs to be BIG. > THANKS for your help.

You could try alt.design.graphics, although I unsubbed from that group because I got sick of the trolls, might have changed in the past couple of years. You could look at your library or amazon for a books in graphic design, the term you'd be looking for in the title or subject would be "layout". You might also look at some of the scrapbooking sites, layout is what it's all about. There is a nice .doc file available to members of the computer-scrapping group at Yahoo... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/computer-scrapping/ You'll have to sub to the group to get to it, if you're not interested at all in digital scrapbooking, just set the membership to "no mail". Once subbed, go to Files, 4WeeklySketchChallenge, weeklychallenge.doc. These will have little diagrams of sample pages. You could just substitute another photo for text blocks, title elements, etc. SignatureAngela M.

There is a whole folder of bookmakers and dealers in the z-prophoto mailing list at yahoogroups.com |
