How To Make A Collage On Facebook
In today's article I'm showing you exactly how I produce collages for my blog site and also Facebook page using Blogstomp.
BLOGSTOMP
Blogstomp is among my absolute favourite blogging devices. Right here's exactly what Blogstomp performs in a nutchell:
1. Photo resizing and also optimization: BlogStomp re-sizes and also optimises high-res pictures for internet usage in seconds.
2. Batch handling: Develop special flexible, multi-image layouts
3. Creates Multi Photo Layouts: Create special flexible, multi-image formats (collages).
4. Watermarking: Easily apply your watermark to all your pictures in one go.
5. Image styling: Express your brand name's individuality and also design your photo frames.
6. Blog post photos directly to Facebook.
7. Share images on Twitter.
8. Blog from within the app.
8. Conserve pre-set style themes.
The only disadvantage to Blogstomp is that it isn't totally free. For me, this was among the first blog writing devices I ever acquired and it has actually conserved me so much time that what I spent on it has actually been 100% worthwhile. For a solitary customer it's $49 (which you could mount & utilize on up to 2 computer systems) and after that it's $89 for their Workshop Load which can be mounted and also made use of on as much as 5 computer systems. I shared 4 other friends for the studio pack, paying just $18. Definitely the most effective amount of money I have actually ever bought my blog site and also photography organisation! Yet, for any person wanting to try it out prior to getting, they do have a free trial version. The test version puts the Blogstomp logo/watermark onto your photos yet it a minimum of it gives you a suggestion of just how the program works.
I primarily make use of Blogstomp for the following:.
- To Rapidly and also quickly resize my pictures (I usually shoot in RAW therefore deal with huge image sizes. Blogstomp resizes my photos, individually or in batches, within secs). Keep in mind you could only import JPG data.
- To create collages (much more on that particular momentarily).
- To add my watermark to my pictures & collages.
HOW TO PRODUCE COLLAGES IN BLOGSTOMP
Right here is a collage I developed in Blogstomp. I utilized my own photographs (with text superimposes done utilizing the StudioApp) and after that produced the collection making use of the actions detailed listed below.
1. IMPORT IMAGES
Open up the program & Import your photographs making use of the 'Import' button in the bottom lefthand edge.
Select the pictures you wish to utilize in your collection they will be grey when selected (you could also pick a group of pictures and after that click 'Remove' to remove them from Blogstomp). When you have selected the pictures, they will turn up in the 'Sneak peek' box.
2. PICK YOUR COLLECTION FORMAT
As soon as your photos are chosen, Blogstomp puts them in a common collection design. You transform the design of collection by picking one from the right-hand man side. To scuff of the photos, click on the 'Mix It Up' switch. You aren't able to in fact relocate each image itself like you can in Photoshop. You could only choose one of the styles from the right-hand man side (these styles or formats differ a little depending upon the variety of pictures you utilize, and also the orientation of the picture ie. landscape/portrait) yet I have not found this restricting whatsoever.
3. TRANSFORMING THE STYLE & SIZE OF YOUR COLLECTION
Once you are happy with the layout of your collection, currently you can have fun with boundaries, backgrounds and adding your watermark. These fall under 'Designs'. To transform the design, either click the 'Designs' fall food selection as well as select 'Edit or produce your design' or click the Setups button at the top of the program and after that select Designs. I have conserved a number of designs (just like presets in Lightroom or Actions in Photoshop) which I have made.
You could conveniently make new design presets or edit existing ones. In the 'Styles' tab you can transform every point from border colour & size, to adding a history. This is additionally where you determine what dimension you wish to conserve your picture in. As soon as you produce a design that you like, you can wait as a predetermined (like the ones I have below eg WhiteBorder800 which is exactly what I use for my common blog site images ... this places a white boundary around my picture, adds my watermark and resizes my photo to 800px vast). Here you could also post your logo design to the style as well as choose where you want it to go. Once you more than happy with the Design, select 'OK'.
4. SELECT WHERE YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR PICTURE
Once you enjoy with the dimension and border/background design & design of you collection, you can still relocate your logo design around in the sneak peek display. To conserve your photo, make certain to click on the 'Settings' tab and after that the 'Result' tab the first time you conserve to select where you want to save your collage. Once you set that up as soon as, it will certainly become the default for all of your following BlogStomp creations unless you alter it each time. Blostomp instantly conserves your photos right into a Blogstomp folder, you simply pick where you desire 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 pictures. I do this to enhance my SEO...re-naming your images helps them appear much better in google searches. There are a couple of various other setups you can play with in the Outcome tab (like output top quality & developing). As soon as you enjoy with where you are conserving your collection, click OK.
5. CONSERVE (TRAMPLE) YOUR COLLECTION
Click the orange 'Stomp It!' switch to create your collection. Your collage will certainly currently be conserved in your selected location.
