Like many of you I have chosen to review my project for 2012, although I will not finish for about 3 more weeks. I am so grateful for the kindness shown to me by this community... I wish each of you the very best in 2013!
You have taken such wonderful pictures, I recognize so many of my favorites in your beautiful collage. Cathy, and I'm so glad I ran across your posts early on so I could enjoy them. It's been so nice getting to know you and I've appreciate your supportive comments and your friendship. I think I will continue on after my year is up but not posting every single day. I think I'm ready to get back in to painting again! This has spiked my creativity again! I hope this new year will hold wonderful things for you. Hope you're feeling better today!
@cindymc Thanks, Cindy! And I am thankful we have journeyed together through the 365 project! Like you, I will continue at a more relaxed pace... hopefully we will each decide on a new camera and be inspired to push this photography thing a little farther! And you should post some photos of some of your paintings! May God bless you and yours richly in the coming year!
I'm loving looking at everyones end of year collages and yours is no exception. Could I ask what program you used to make it, I love how the photos aren't all lined up in perfect rows.
@kjarn Thank you, Kathy. I just use the free program Picasa at this point. Hoping that 2013 will allow me time to expand my processing abilities and learn a new program! The uneven lines are created by the random crops I choose to make... which sometimes causes frustration in some applications I have tried. .
@calm thanks for that. I tried to use Picasa but couldn't understand it so I did mine with Ribbet which was easy but doesn't do random collages. I might give Picasa another go.
@kjarn First put the photos you want to include in the selection tray on the lower left by clicking the little green mark in the upper right corner of the box. Just click on 'Create' tab, and you will have choices of picture pile, mosaic, grid, etc. You can click 'Shuffle' under the collage you are working on to re-arrange the photos, or just drag one to the place you want it. I found that I needed to change the size of my page to get what I wanted. I've thought about trying Ribbet.
Thank you so much for your help. Hopefully it will make sense when I get on there and give it a go. PicMonkey has a collage section but its not as good as Ribbet.
@judithg Thank you, Judith. I will probably continue with a different focus. Hope to get a new camera (son will graduate from college... last bill paid!) and I want to spend time developing my skills. I have spent most of this year studying others photos, working on composition and some basic things. Instead of spending an hour and a half commenting on others work and spending about 30 minutes on my own photo, I will try to reverse that ratio and maybe, just maybe you will have something better to look at in 2013 from me!
