How To Make Photo Collage On Facebook
In today's post I'm sharing with you how I create collections for my blog and Facebook page utilizing Blogstomp.
BLOGSTOMP
Blogstomp is just one of my outright favorite blog writing devices. Right here's what Blogstomp performs in a nutchell:
1. Photo resizing and optimization: BlogStomp re-sizes and also optimises high-res pictures for web usage in secs.
2. Set processing: Develop special versatile, multi-image designs
3. Develops Multi Photo Layouts: Develop special versatile, multi-image layouts (collections).
4. Watermarking: Quickly apply your watermark to all your images in one go.
5. Image styling: Express your brand's individuality and also style your photo structures.
6. Blog post pictures directly to Facebook.
7. Share photos on Twitter.
8. Blog from within the app.
8. Conserve pre-set design layouts.
The only downside to Blogstomp is that it isn't free. For me, this was just one of the first blogging tools I ever before bought and it has saved me a lot time that exactly what I invested in it has been 100% worthwhile. For a single customer it's $49 (which you could set up & use on as much as 2 computers) and then it's $89 for their Workshop Pack which can be set up and also utilized on approximately 5 computer systems. I shared 4 various other close friends for the studio pack, paying just $18. Definitely the most effective quantity of cash I have actually ever before purchased my blog site as well as photography company! But, for any person wishing to try it out prior to buying, they do have a complimentary trial version. The trial variation places the Blogstomp logo/watermark onto your pictures yet it at least it provides you a concept of just how the program works.
I mostly make use of Blogstomp for the following:.
- To Swiftly and also conveniently resize my pictures (I usually shoot in RAW therefore deal with massive picture dimensions. Blogstomp resizes my photos, separately or in batches, within seconds). Keep in mind you can only import JPG files.
- To produce collections (more on that in a moment).
- To add my watermark to my pictures & collages.
How You Can CREATE COLLECTIONS IN BLOGSTOMP
Right here is a collection I developed in Blogstomp. I used my very own pictures (with message superimposes done using the StudioApp) and then produced the collection making use of the actions outlined below.
1. IMPORT PICTURES
Open up the program & Import your pictures using the 'Import' button in the bottom lefthand corner.
Select the pictures you intend to make use of in your collection they will be grey when selected (you can also pick a team of photos and then click 'Remove' to eliminate them from Blogstomp). As soon as you have chosen the images, they will certainly appear in the 'Sneak peek' box.
2. PICK YOUR COLLECTION DESIGN
When your pictures are picked, Blogstomp places them in a conventional collection style. You alter the design of collage by selecting one from the right-hand man side. To riffle of the photos, click the 'Mix It Up' switch. You aren't able to in fact relocate each picture itself like you could in Photoshop. You can only pick one of the styles from the right hand side (these designs or formats vary slightly relying on the number of pictures you use, as well as the positioning of the image ie. landscape/portrait) yet I haven't located this restricting at all.
3. CHANGING THE STYLE & SIZE OF YOUR COLLECTION
Once you are happy with the design of your collection, currently you could play with boundaries, backgrounds as well as including your watermark. These fall under 'Designs'. To transform the design, either click the 'Designs' drop down food selection and also pick 'Edit or create your design' or click the Setups button on top of the program and after that pick Styles. I have actually conserved a variety of styles (much like presets in Lightroom or Activities in Photoshop) which I have made.
You can quickly make new style presets or modify existing ones. In the 'Styles' tab you could transform every thing from border colour & width, to adding a history. This is likewise where you decide what size you intend to save your picture in. When you create a design that you like, you can save it as a preset (like the ones I have listed here eg WhiteBorder800 which is what I use for my basic blog photos ... this puts a white border around my picture, adds my watermark and also resizes my photo to 800px large). Right here you could additionally publish your logo design to the design and choose where you want it to go. Once you enjoy with the Design, pick 'OK'.
4. CHOOSE WHERE YOU INTEND TO SAVE YOUR IMAGE
As soon as you enjoy with the size and also border/background design & design of you collection, you can still move your logo around in the preview display. To save your picture, see to it to click on the 'Setups' tab and after that the 'Result' tab the very first time you save to choose where you intend to conserve your collage. Once you establish that up once, it will come to be the default for all your next BlogStomp productions unless you alter it each time. Blostomp automatically conserves your pictures right into a Blogstomp folder, you simply choose where you want that folder to go. Now I have my Blogstomp folder on my desktop.
This is also where you can re-name your collection or pictures. I do this to enhance my SEO...re-naming your photos helps them appear much better in google searches. There are a couple of other settings you could play with in the Outcome tab (like outcome top quality & developing). Once you more than happy with where you are conserving your collage, click OK.
5. CONSERVE (STAMP) YOUR COLLECTION
Click the orange 'Stomp It!' button to produce your collage. Your collage will now be conserved in your selected destination.
Easy peasy! I hope you discovered this tutorial beneficial.
