SO quick and easy and fabulous results!!! An awesome app!!!

Yesterday I decided it was time to think about Christmas cards and/or letter. I decided to send a 4x6 picture to our Christmas card recipients… then decided to try and do one as a collage. I didn’t have much time, and had never done anything like this, but wanted it to look nice. I searched the web for how to make a picture collage and the CollageIt 3 Free app popped up. I decided to give it a try, figuring if it was frustrating I would try something different. It was SO easy!

I put some pics in an iPhoto album… imported the entire album into CollageIt Free… chose the size collage I wanted… scrolled through the styles and made my choice (Mosaic 17) which let me put 5 pics in the collage… then wondered what ‘sparse’ was so clicked on that. Wow, that threw 5 different pics into the template (sort of looked like 5 mini framed pics). As I kept changing the different sparse options (I think there were 10), the layout and 5 pics kept changing… and each picture was actually already cropped nicely (vs always the center of each picture - cutting off someones head). I finally decided sparse 4 was the perfect layout and mostly great pics for what I wanted, so I chose that. Then I changed one of the pics - by grabbing and dropping what I wanted from the side bar onto the ‘frame’ I wanted it in… and swapped placed with two of the pics.

The collage looked wonderful and I don’t think it had even been 1/2 hour from the start of my web search to my finished project! I exported my finished project to my user account / folder where I have pics for uploading to, in my case, Costco Photo. Then I went to Costco Photo… uploaded it… chose a 4x6 print... had to crop a tad off the top and bottom of my horizontal print (surprised I had to do this but the pictures were still all great with the crop) … placed my order… and an hour later my prints were ready.

They look wonderful!!! I am so very pleased with the results… and SO delighted that it took very little of my time, and NO frustration, to do it. I wish I had thought about doing this before I ordered a throw… I would have tried to do a collage on it also (which I just might try in the near future). This is an awesome app!!!
