Actually, this is NOT just for blogs; anyone can make a collage of pictures and images.
Since the demise of Picnik, many bloggers, in particular, have been searching for a good substitute program.
"Image Formatting" programs are out there:
iPiccy
and the best for last:
PicMonkey
I know, I know.... WHERE do they get the names for these programs?
Yesterday I showed you the collage I made in PicMonkey. This is my #1 choice of all the programs, so let's go through it.
For the last month or two they had promised to add "collage"... and now it's here.
Mouse over the collage at the top of the page and a small box will appear saying, "Make a Collage".
This is the screen that will appear:

Here is the home page for the program:

Click that box to the left and you will see this:
Lots and lots of different ways to make a collage!
Click "Upload" up at the top, your image will appear on the left margin, and you can then drag it to the spot on the collage. You can rearrange items all you want.
The nice thing about PicMonkey is not having to register.. at all. It's easy to get started whether for collage, or frames, or adding text, or effects.
Here is the basic "Editor" page with one of my images. Many choices over there on the left. When you're finished, simply click "Save" down there at the bottom.
Couldn't be easier, right? Have questions? Feel free to ask me... and I'll try to answer!
Libby, thank you so much. I had no idea about pic monkey. It rocks. There's even an application to make me thinner. Oh if were only that simple!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, Libby ! I need to be sewing today and now I just want to play on PicMonkey :)
ReplyDeleteLibby,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the info on PicMonkey! I've been wanting to do this but just didn't know how to get started. I just created a collage and have mentioned you as my source. I will be posting it tomorrow. Stop by for a visit to see your name in "lights' HA
I've been looking for something like this - thanks Libby! Going to start using it on the blog.. have a feeling it's going to make my life a lot easier!
ReplyDeleteMerci merci Libby.....I needed this and no time to do the research. I am also looking for a site to upload photos to for sharing with clients...i.e. like Picasa. Don't like Picasa anymore because it is so tied up in Google+.....Any help appreciated....
ReplyDeleteI just found this post via Pinterest. Thank you SO much. As a newbie to technology (I'm pathetic, I know; but hey, I just got a smart phone for Christmas... baby steps), this is perfect! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
