How Do You Make A Photo Collage On Facebook
In today's blog post I'm sharing with you how I develop collections for my blog site and also Facebook web page utilizing Blogstomp.
BLOGSTOMP
Blogstomp is just one of my outright favourite blogging devices. Here's what Blogstomp carries out in a nutchell:
1. Photo resizing and also optimization: BlogStomp re-sizes and also optimises high-res images for web usage in secs.
2. Set processing: Develop distinct flexible, multi-image formats
3. Develops Multi Image Layouts: Develop unique flexible, multi-image layouts (collections).
4. Watermarking: Conveniently use your watermark to all your images in one go.
5. Image designing: Express your brand name's individuality and also style your image frames.
6. Post images directly to Facebook.
7. Share photos on Twitter.
8. Blog from within the application.
8. Conserve pre-set style design templates.
The only downside to Blogstomp is that it isn't really cost-free. For me, this was one of the first blogging tools I ever before got and it has actually saved me a lot time that just what I invested in it has actually been 100% rewarding. For a single user it's $49 (which you can mount & use on as much as 2 computers) and after that it's $89 for their Studio Pack which can be set up and made use of on as much as 5 computer systems. I shared 4 other pals for the studio pack, paying only $18. Absolutely the very best quantity of money I have ever before bought my blog site and photography organisation! But, for any individual intending to try it out prior to buying, they do have a free trial variation. The test variation puts the Blogstomp logo/watermark onto your images but it at least it gives you an idea of exactly how the program works.
I primarily make use of Blogstomp for the following:.
- To Quickly as well as easily resize my photos (I usually fire in RAW and so deal with big picture sizes. Blogstomp resizes my photographs, separately or in batches, within secs). Bear in mind you could just import JPG data.
- To produce collections (more on that in a moment).
- To add my watermark to my pictures & collages.
THE BEST WAYS TO DEVELOP COLLECTIONS IN BLOGSTOMP
Here is a collage I developed in Blogstomp. I utilized my own photos (with text superimposes done using the StudioApp) and after that created the collection utilizing the steps described listed below.
1. IMPORT PICTURES
Open up the program & Import your photos utilizing the 'Import' button in the bottom lefthand corner.
Select the pictures you wish to utilize in your collage they will certainly be grey when chosen (you can additionally choose a team of pictures and afterwards click 'Remove' to remove them from Blogstomp). When you have chosen the photos, they will certainly turn up in the 'Sneak peek' box.
2. PICK YOUR COLLECTION LAYOUT
Once your photos are selected, Blogstomp puts them in a common collection design. You change the style of collection by picking one from the right-hand man side. To scuff of the photographs, click the 'Mix It Up' button. You typically aren't able to in fact removal each image itself like you can in Photoshop. You could only choose one of the designs from the right-hand man side (these designs or formats vary slightly relying on the variety of photos you make use of, and also the positioning of the photo ie. landscape/portrait) but I have not found this restricting at all.
3. ALTERING THE STYLE & SIZE OF YOUR COLLAGE
As soon as you are happy with the design of your collage, now you can play with boundaries, histories and also adding your watermark. These fall under 'Styles'. To alter the style, either click the 'Designs' drop down menu and choose 'Edit or develop your style' or click the Settings button at the top of the program then choose Styles. I have conserved a number of designs (much like presets in Lightroom or Activities in Photoshop) which I have made.
You could conveniently make brand-new design presets or edit existing ones. In the 'Styles' tab you can transform every point from border colour & width, to adding a background. This is additionally where you choose exactly what dimension you wish to save your picture in. Once you produce a style that you like, you could save it as a predetermined (like the ones I have actually listed below eg WhiteBorder800 which is just what I use for my basic blog photos ... this puts a white boundary around my picture, adds my watermark as well as resizes my photo to 800px large). Here you can also post your logo design to the design as well as select where you desire it to go. Once you more than happy with the Design, select 'OK'.
4. SELECT WHERE YOU INTEND TO CONSERVE YOUR PHOTO
When you more than happy with the dimension and also border/background style & format of you collection, you could still relocate your logo around in the preview screen. To conserve your picture, make certain to click on the 'Setups' tab then the 'Result' tab the first time you save to select where you intend to save your collage. As soon as you establish that up once, it will certainly end up being the default for every one of your following BlogStomp creations unless you change it each time. Blostomp automatically saves your pictures into a Blogstomp folder, you simply select where you want that folder to go. Right now I have my Blogstomp folder on my desktop.
This is also where you can re-name your collection or images. I do this to boost my SEO...re-naming your images helps them show up much better in google searches. There are a few other setups you could play with in the Output tab (like output high quality & honing). Once you enjoy with where you are saving your collage, click OK.
5. SAVE (STAMP) YOUR COLLECTION
Click the orange 'Stomp It!' switch to develop your collection. Your collection will currently be saved in your chosen destination.
