Title: Photo Collage Creating Programme?
Post by: hollyd443 on March 16, 2012, 08:29:20 PM

I have hundreds of photos on my ailing old phone of Jasmine from day 0 to 18months. The camera quality is pants but I really treasure the photos as a real close up Mum's eye view of her little girly. I'd like to put them together on a collage but its going to take forever to do it on something like word! Is there a free programme that I can use to get in the region of 20 per A4 page?

Fanku!!  :D

I spent a while trying out different collage programs recently and found Google Picasa has a superb collage function which worked better than any of the others I tried, you simply give it the pictures and it randomly generates a layout for you.  If you like the layout you can drag the pictures around to change where they are (something frustratingly you cannot do with the Snapfish collage system) or you can just hit the shuffle button and it will generate a new layout for you.  I made the following one in under five minutes (no exaggeration):

Hi,
I can highly recommend Photomix, You can change backgrounds and choose how many photos you want to display
