How Do I Make A Photo Collage On Facebook
In today's post I'm showing to you how I produce collages for my blog site as well as Facebook web page utilizing Blogstomp.
BLOGSTOMP
Blogstomp is among my absolute favorite blogging tools. Here's what Blogstomp performs in a nutchell:
1. Image resizing and also optimization: BlogStomp re-sizes as well as optimises high-res pictures for internet use in secs.
2. Set handling: Produce special flexible, multi-image designs
3. Creates Multi Picture Layouts: Develop distinct adaptable, multi-image designs (collages).
4. Watermarking: Easily use your watermark to all your photos in one go.
5. Photo styling: Express your brand's personality as well as style your photo frameworks.
6. Message images directly to Facebook.
7. Share images on Twitter.
8. Blog site from within the app.
8. Save pre-set design templates.
The only disadvantage to Blogstomp is that it isn't complimentary. For me, this was one of the very first blog writing tools I ever before bought as well as it has conserved me so much time that what I invested in it has been 100% rewarding. For a single user it's $49 (which you can set up & utilize on approximately 2 computer systems) then it's $89 for their Studio Load which can be set up and also used on up to 5 computers. I went in with 4 other pals for the studio pack, paying only $18. Definitely the best amount of cash I have actually ever before purchased my blog site as well as digital photography business! However, for any person wanting to try it out prior to purchasing, they do have a complimentary test variation. The test variation puts the Blogstomp logo/watermark into your photos however it at the very least it offers you an idea of exactly how the program works.
I mostly make use of Blogstomp for the following:.
- To Swiftly and easily resize my photos (I generally fire in RAW and so handle massive image sizes. Blogstomp resizes my photographs, individually or in sets, within secs). Bear in mind you could just import JPG documents.
- To produce collections (more on that in a moment).
- To include my watermark to my pictures & collections.
WAYS TO DEVELOP COLLAGES IN BLOGSTOMP
Right here is a collection I produced in Blogstomp. I utilized my own pictures (with message superimposes done making use of the StudioApp) and then created the collage using the steps detailed below.
1. IMPORT PHOTOS
Open the program & Import your pictures using the 'Import' switch in the bottom lefthand corner.
Select the images you want to use in your collection they will certainly be grey when selected (you could also choose a group of pictures and after that click 'Remove' to remove them from Blogstomp). As soon as you have selected the photos, they will show up in the 'Preview' box.
2. SELECT YOUR COLLECTION DESIGN
Once your pictures are selected, Blogstomp puts them in a common collection style. You alter the style of collage by picking one from the right hand side. To change the order of the photos, click on the 'Mix It Up' button. You typically aren't able to in fact move each picture itself like you could in Photoshop. You can just pick among the designs from the right hand side (these designs or designs vary slightly depending on the variety of photos you use, and the alignment of the picture ie. landscape/portrait) but I haven't found this limiting at all.
3. ALTERING THE DESIGN & DIMENSION OF YOUR COLLECTION
As soon as you enjoy with the design of your collection, now you can play with boundaries, histories and including your watermark. These fall under 'Styles'. To change the style, either click the 'Styles' drop down menu and select 'Edit or produce your style' or click the Setups button on top of the program and afterwards select Designs. I have conserved a number of designs (similar to presets in Lightroom or Activities in Photoshop) which I have made.
You could easily make new design presets or edit existing ones. In the 'Designs' tab you could alter every point from border colour & width, to including a background. This is additionally where you determine just what size you wish to conserve your image in. Once you produce a design that you like, you could save it as a preset (like the ones I have actually below eg WhiteBorder800 which is just what I use for my common blog site pictures ... this puts a white boundary around my photo, includes my watermark and resizes my picture to 800px wide). Right here you could likewise upload your logo to the style and also pick where you desire it to go. When you enjoy with the Design, pick 'OK'.
4. CHOOSE WHERE YOU WISH TO SAVE YOUR PICTURE
Once you are happy with the size as well as border/background design & design of you collection, you could still relocate your logo around in the preview display. To conserve your image, ensure to click on the 'Setups' tab and after that the 'Result' tab the very first time you conserve to choose where you intend to save your collage. When you set that up when, it will come to be the default for all your following BlogStomp productions unless you change it each time. Blostomp automatically conserves your photos into a Blogstomp folder, you simply pick where you desire that folder to go. Today I have my Blogstomp folder on my desktop.
This is also where you could re-name your collage or images. I do this to boost my SEO...re-naming your pictures helps them show up much better in google searches. There are a few other settings you can play with in the Result tab (like result high quality & sharpening). When you are happy with where you are conserving your collage, click OK.
5. SAVE (TRAMPLE) YOUR COLLECTION
Click the orange 'Stomp It!' button to create your collection. Your collage will currently be saved in your selected location.
Easy peasy! I wish you discovered this tutorial useful.
