Most of the features are free and I find it really easy to use. </p> <p>This is a guide about how to use it:<br /> <a href="http://www.butterscotch.com/tutorial/Free-Online-Photo-Editing-With-Picnik" rel="nofollow">http://www.butterscotch.com/tu.....ith-Picnik</a></p> <p>This one is specifically about making collages<br /> <a href="http://www.butterscotch.com/tutorial/Making-A-Photo-Collage-In-Picnik" rel="nofollow">http://www.butterscotch.com/tu.....-In-Picnik</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-question-for-aida-re-pics#post-295331 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 01:01:00 +0000 Aida 295331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I've been meaning to do this write up! It's a bit long. I use Photoshop, but it's expensive and I know it's not available to everyone. I think Picasa (from Google, free) would work as well, but I haven't tried it myself.</p> <p>From the taking-the-photo standpoint, I think about what I want to show for each outfit in the final collage and take the according photos. Each morning when I take photos, I set the white balance and exposure to ensure the best color and crispness.</p> <p>Then the photo editing process is as follows:</p> <ol> <li>Select least goofy/most flattering photos :)</li> <li>Adjust contrast in photos so everything looks sharp; ensure colors are correct and if not, I adjust them. Sometimes the camera tilts, so I also may need to rotate slightly.</li> <li>Resize and crop all photos to dimension 800x1067. Much easier to collage when all the images you start with are all the same size &amp; ratio.</li> <li>Open one image, expand canvas horizontally.</li> <li>Copy other images desired in final collage into the expanded image (basically add in all the images as layers so you can modify them individually).</li> <li>Move and resize/crop rest of images as necessary for collage design. I usually have 1 or 2 looks at 100% size, and then for smaller images I resize to 50%, stack them, and then trim.</li> <li>Crop, save, and finish!</li> </ol> <p>Not sure if that helps or if it's too succinct. Let me know!</p> <p>EDIT: I spend 10-30 minutes taking the photos in the morning, and it usually takes me about 15-20 minutes to fully edit and collage them.</p> <p>EDIT EDIT: I added an unprocessed photo (#1), edited photo (#2) and a finished resized photo (#3) for comparison. #1 and #2 are actually considerably larger in size than the final size I use for the collages in #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-question-for-aida-re-pics#post-295317 Thu, 10 Feb 2011 00:47:46 +0000 Marley 295317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you do those collages? I love them! Do I need some type of special software for that? I think someone else just recently posted collages of WIW also - just can't remember who! Anyone know how to do this? </p>
