I don't like it.

Yup. I'm morally opposed to this Picasa software. Why? Because it totally made me feel like a fool. I'd been putting these collages together in Photoshop, tediously placing the images in just the right spot, sizing, resizing, testing, fading... And then I get this program, drop the folder in and VIOLA! It does this:



Two minutes and it creates a collage like that. It took me hours to create this one:



And, while they're not exactly the same, the effect is pretty close. Come on now!

OK, all sarcasm aside, this is a great program! I love the viewer that it uses, it's quick, and it comes with these great editing options. This is going to make my life a whole lot easier.

  1. I really like the second one it is very professional looking far better than what I did. The first on has more texture in the pictures I love how flower petals give the essence of depth and elegance. I also think that the colors you used in both of your collage really work well together and bring all the pictures together even when they are of different subjects.

  2. Haha - true how easy it is on Picasa! Although I do love your photoshop collage, the pictures blending together makes it very aesthetically pleasing... I would say that they were hours well spent.
    Anyway - I like your macro collage a lot - especially that you went for the center-photo option because it works well with yours.

  3. I agree with you, Picasa is an awesome program!! I wish I had known about it a long time ago, I would definately be printing collages of photos instead of using so much ink to print individual photos!! I think both of you collages are great!

  4. The work you put into your photo shop collage definetely shows so don't think it wasn't worth it. You did a great job arranging this weeks collage, too.

  5. Pretty much any app made by Google usually rocks. Your cat gets lots of camera time.

  7. I know this program made it so easy to make really neat collages. I had so much fun that i am going to make some for my family. This will be really helpful when making invitations or christmas cards. I love the picures of the cat and all the flowers. You too picked a nice sunny day to be outside taking pics.

  9. Nice job on these! That second one is definitely hours well spent though and priceless! I love the idea of a main photo surrounded by supporting ones.
