Create A Collage For Facebook
In today's article I'm showing to you exactly how I create collections for my blog site as well as Facebook web page making use of Blogstomp.
BLOGSTOMP
Blogstomp is one of my absolute favorite blog writing tools. Right here's exactly what Blogstomp performs in a nutchell:
1. Image resizing and also optimization: BlogStomp re-sizes and also optimises high-res photos for internet usage in seconds.
2. Batch processing: Develop one-of-a-kind versatile, multi-image designs
3. Develops Multi Picture Layouts: Develop unique flexible, multi-image layouts (collages).
4. Watermarking: Easily use your watermark to all your photos in one go.
5. Photo designing: Express your brand name's individuality and also style your image frames.
6. Message photos straight to Facebook.
7. Share photos on Twitter.
8. Blog from within the app.
8. Save pre-set style design templates.
The only disadvantage to Blogstomp is that it isn't really free. For me, this was one of the first blogging devices I ever before bought and also it has saved me so much time that what I invested in it has been 100% rewarding. For a single customer it's $49 (which you could install & utilize on approximately 2 computer systems) and afterwards it's $89 for their Studio Pack which can be installed as well as made use of on approximately 5 computers. I went in with 4 other friends for the studio pack, paying just $18. Absolutely the very best amount of cash I have ever bought my blog and also photography business! Yet, for any person intending to try it out prior to buying, they do have a cost-free test version. The test version places the Blogstomp logo/watermark onto your images yet it a minimum of it gives you a suggestion of how the program works.
I primarily utilize Blogstomp for the following:.
- To Promptly as well as quickly resize my pictures (I typically fire in RAW and so deal with substantial picture dimensions. Blogstomp resizes my photos, independently or in batches, within seconds). Bear in mind you can just import JPG files.
- To develop collages (extra on that particular in a moment).
- To add my watermark to my pictures & collections.
HOW TO CREATE COLLAGES IN BLOGSTOMP
Here is a collection I developed in Blogstomp. I utilized my own pictures (with text superimposes done using the StudioApp) and then developed the collection using the actions detailed below.
1. IMPORT PICTURES
Open the program & Import your photos making use of the 'Import' switch in the bottom lefthand edge.
Select the photos you intend to use in your collection they will certainly be grey when selected (you could additionally pick a team of pictures then click 'Remove' to eliminate them from Blogstomp). When you have actually picked the images, they will appear in the 'Preview' box.
2. SELECT YOUR COLLECTION FORMAT
Once your images are selected, Blogstomp puts them in a typical collage style. You transform the style of collage by picking one from the right-hand man side. To riffle of the pictures, click on the 'Mix It Up' button. You typically aren't able to really move each picture itself like you can in Photoshop. You could just choose one of the styles from the right hand side (these styles or formats differ a little depending on the number of images you make use of, as well as the orientation of the image ie. landscape/portrait) but I have not found this limiting in any way.
3. TRANSFORMING THE DESIGN & SIZE OF YOUR COLLAGE
As soon as you more than happy with the format of your collage, now you can play with borders, backgrounds and including your watermark. These loss under 'Designs'. To alter the style, either click the 'Styles' drop down food selection as well as choose 'Edit or produce your style' or click the Setups switch at the top of the program and afterwards pick Styles. I have actually saved a variety of styles (similar to presets in Lightroom or Activities in Photoshop) which I have actually made.
You can quickly make new style presets or edit existing ones. In the 'Designs' tab you could change every point from boundary colour & width, to adding a background. This is likewise where you choose what size you intend to save your picture in. Once you produce a style that you like, you could wait as a predetermined (like the ones I have listed below eg WhiteBorder800 which is what I make use of for my typical blog pictures ... this places a white border around my image, includes my watermark and also resizes my picture to 800px large). Here you can likewise post your logo to the design as well as pick where you desire it to go. When you enjoy with the Style, pick 'OK'.
4. CHOOSE WHERE YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR IMAGE
As soon as you more than happy with the size and also border/background style & design of you collection, you can still move your logo around in the sneak peek screen. To save your picture, see to it to click the 'Settings' tab and then the 'Output' tab the very first time you save to choose where you want to conserve your collection. When you establish that up when, it will certainly become the default for every one of your next BlogStomp creations unless you transform it each time. Blostomp immediately saves your photos into a Blogstomp folder, you just select where you want that folder to go. Now I have my Blogstomp folder on my desktop computer.
This is likewise where you could re-name your collage or pictures. I do this to increase my SEO...re-naming your pictures helps them appear better in google searches. There are a few various other settings you can play with in the Result tab (like outcome top quality & developing). Once you enjoy with where you are saving your collage, click OK.
5. SAVE (TRAMPLE) YOUR COLLAGE
Click the orange 'Stomp It!' switch to produce your collage. Your collection will certainly currently be conserved in your chosen location.
