How To Make A Facebook Collage
In today's blog post I'm sharing with you exactly how I develop collages for my blog site and also Facebook page utilizing Blogstomp.
BLOGSTOMP
Blogstomp is just one of my outright preferred blogging tools. Right here's exactly what Blogstomp does in a nutchell:
1. Image resizing as well as optimization: BlogStomp re-sizes and also optimises high-res photos for web use in secs.
2. Batch processing: Develop special flexible, multi-image formats
3. Produces Multi Picture Layouts: Develop unique flexible, multi-image layouts (collections).
4. Watermarking: Quickly apply your watermark to all your photos in one go.
5. Photo designing: Express your brand name's character and style your image structures.
6. Post pictures straight to Facebook.
7. Share images on Twitter.
8. Blog site from within the application.
8. Save pre-set style templates.
The only disadvantage to Blogstomp is that it isn't really cost-free. For me, this was among the initial blog writing tools I ever bought and it has saved me a lot time that what I spent on it has actually been 100% worthwhile. For a solitary user it's $49 (which you could mount & use on as much as 2 computer systems) and after that it's $89 for their Studio Load which can be mounted as well as utilized on approximately 5 computers. I shared 4 other friends for the workshop pack, paying only $18. Definitely the best quantity of loan I have ever before purchased my blog and also digital photography service! But, for anyone wanting to try it out prior to acquiring, they do have a complimentary test version. The trial version places the Blogstomp logo/watermark onto your pictures yet it at the very least it offers you a suggestion of how the program works.
I mostly utilize Blogstomp for the following:.
- To Rapidly and also quickly resize my pictures (I typically fire in RAW therefore handle massive image sizes. Blogstomp resizes my pictures, separately or in sets, within seconds). Bear in mind you could just import JPG documents.
- To produce collages (extra on that in a moment).
- To add my watermark to my images & collages.
How You Can DEVELOP COLLAGES IN BLOGSTOMP
Here is a collage I produced in Blogstomp. I utilized my very own photos (with message superimposes done making use of the StudioApp) and afterwards created the collection making use of the steps outlined listed below.
1. IMPORT IMAGES
Open up the program & Import your photographs utilizing the 'Import' switch in the bottom lefthand corner.
Select the photos you intend to utilize in your collage they will certainly be grey when selected (you can likewise pick a group of photos and then click 'Remove' to eliminate them from Blogstomp). As soon as you have selected the photos, they will turn up in the 'Sneak peek' box.
2. SELECT YOUR COLLECTION FORMAT
As soon as your photos are picked, Blogstomp places them in a basic collage design. You transform the design of collage by picking one from the right hand side. To riffle of the photos, click the 'Mix It Up' button. You aren't able to actually removal each photo itself like you could in Photoshop. You can just choose among the styles from the right-hand man side (these styles or formats differ slightly relying on the variety of images you make use of, as well as the orientation of the picture ie. landscape/portrait) but I haven't located this restricting at all.
3. CHANGING THE DESIGN & SIZE OF YOUR COLLECTION
When you enjoy with the design of your collage, currently you could have fun with borders, backgrounds and adding your watermark. These loss under 'Designs'. To transform the design, either click the 'Designs' drop down food selection and also choose 'Edit or create your style' or click the Settings switch at the top of the program and afterwards choose Designs. I have actually saved a variety of designs (just like presets in Lightroom or Activities in Photoshop) which I have made.
You could easily make new design presets or edit existing ones. In the 'Styles' tab you can alter every point from boundary colour & size, to including a background. This is likewise where you choose what size you intend to conserve your image in. As soon as you create a style that you like, you could save it as a predetermined (like the ones I have listed here eg WhiteBorder800 which is just what I make use of for my standard blog images ... this puts a white border around my image, includes my watermark and also resizes my picture to 800px broad). Here you could additionally post your logo design to the style and choose where you desire it to go. Once you enjoy with the Style, choose 'OK'.
4. SELECT WHERE YOU WANT TO SAVE YOUR IMAGE
As soon as you are happy with the size and also border/background design & format of you collection, you could still move your logo around in the preview display. To conserve your picture, make sure to click the 'Setups' tab and after that the 'Outcome' tab the very first time you save to pick where you intend to save your collection. Once you establish that up as soon as, it will end up being the default for every one of your next BlogStomp productions unless you transform it each time. Blostomp automatically saves your images right into a Blogstomp folder, you just pick where you want that folder to go. Right now I have my Blogstomp folder on my desktop computer.
This is also where you can re-name your collage or pictures. I do this to increase my SEO...re-naming your pictures helps them show up much better in google searches. There are a couple of various other settings you can play with in the Output tab (like output quality & honing). When you enjoy 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 chosen location.
Easy peasy! I hope you found this tutorial valuable.
