My Favourite Photos in a Collage - MFPIAC2

February 23rd, 2014
Firstly I'd like to thank Laura @lauramalone82 for hosting the last collage challenge MFPIAC1. There were so many beautiful nature collages I feel privileged to have had mine chosen as the winning entry.

For this week I have chosen the theme 'my favourite colour' with the idea being that the 6 pictures are linked by a common colour. The subject can be anything you like!

The challenge will run from today (Sunday 23rd February) until next Saturday (1st March) with the five finalists being chosen by Monday (3rd March). Voting will take place until Thursday (6th March) and the winner will be announced on Saturday (8th March). The winner will host the following challenge (MFPIAC3)

Challenge Criteria:

Post a collage of SIX photos linked by a common colour
TAG: MFPIAC2
Photos don't have to be taken during the timeframe of the challenge, oldies are fine!

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you wonderfully talented people come up with.


February 23rd, 2014
Of course it will be hard to guess what colour I shall chose! Congrats on your success, Paula!
February 23rd, 2014

February 24th, 2014
I have a novice question - sorry - how do I make a collage in LR or PS?
February 24th, 2014
@lambda goid question.I have never tried. it is easier to use picmonkey.it is a free program. You just select the layout and pop the images right in.

orange it is

February 24th, 2014
Great choice for the challenge
February 24th, 2014
@mzzhope Thanks, Hope. I'll try that :)
February 24th, 2014
Omg... Yay... Pink it is... Great idea @paulaw xxx
February 24th, 2014
@paulaw i love your theme choice :)
February 24th, 2014
@hippiechick13 Nice one!
February 24th, 2014
@paulaw Thank you, Paula and I most definitely will be participating!
February 24th, 2014
@annied Thanks Annie, I knew you had seen it but thought it would be good to have all the names of those who participated last time in a nice easy list for future reference. Look forward to seeing the red - or yellow - collages!
February 24th, 2014
Mine is blue
February 24th, 2014
This is mine ...
February 24th, 2014
@hippiechick13 @wenbow @jamibann These are all so beautiful I'm already starting to panic about picking a final 5 - HELP!
February 24th, 2014
@paulaw congrats Paula! Love the colour theme as well.
February 24th, 2014
Oops almost broke the rules with too many pics! Will redo (just deleted my photo).
February 24th, 2014
@jodibear58 No problem, I did wonder about changing it to any number of pics but I wanted to stay true to Cathrine's original idea for the collage . @cathrinemitch Thank you Cathrine, it wasn't easy chosing a theme!!
February 24th, 2014
@bigugly thank you!
February 24th, 2014
@paulaw I feel your pain. I'm hosting the WWYD103 challenge and I already have 18 awesome entries. My stomach hurts.

@paulaw -PAULA!!! Just seen that you won the last challenge, CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is going to be another amazing and fun category to collage, I'll put my thinking cap on! Once again, many congratulations on being a worthy winner!
February 24th, 2014
@jackie8 Thank you Jackie. I'm already panicking about chosing the finalists though. Think I'm going to have to rope in the family to help (if that's allowed!!)
February 24th, 2014
I''m a little embarrassed but I don't know how to enter a competition. Could you help me please. Thanks.
February 24th, 2014
@triciakano No problem Tricia, please don't be embarrassed. For this particular one you would need to make a collage of six pictures which are linked by a colour. Once the image is uploaded you need to put the tag MFPIAC2 in the tag box and that's it. If you like you can also share your image on this page for people to see. To do this you need to go to the image once it has been uploaded and on the right hand side near the bottom there is a copy and paste code. Just copy and paste the code into here and once you press the 'Post Reply' button the image will appear here.

Ps Oh and just be sure to upload and tag your pic within the time frame detailed above.

Hope all that makes sense and have fun with your collage.
February 24th, 2014
Thanks Paula - I will give it a try.
February 24th, 2014
Oh, I have one more question. When I post a collage does that count for my picture for that day. I am not an ace member so I have only one album.
February 24th, 2014
@triciakano Yes it would. Some people with Ace membership keep an album for themes and competitions but I always upload it on the day I made the collage and count it as my pic for that day. Good Luck!
February 24th, 2014
Thanks. I think I got it now!!!
February 24th, 2014
Congratulations Paula! And thanks for tagging me in this one so that it was flagged up on my notifications! Must get choosing a colour...
February 24th, 2014
@lambda @mzzhope I'm sure there is a better way but this is how I do it. I open a new blank file and then File->Place each of my photo into the blank white page. Each photo you place becomes an individual layer. Then you select that layer(photo) and move it around and put it wherever you want and resize(Ctrl-T), same with other layers. Save the final image when you are happy with the positioning of all layers.
February 24th, 2014
Great choice of theme! I am definitely in... still thinking about the colour though... purple, pink, red...
February 24th, 2014
@jodibear58 Great collage! What did you use to do it?
February 24th, 2014
February 24th, 2014
@dibzgreasley thanks! I used fotor.
February 24th, 2014
@jodibear58 Amazing collage, love the way you've out it together.
February 24th, 2014
@ikamera thank you Kiran! It's good to know there IS a way to do it in PS.
February 24th, 2014
@jodibear58 Oooh I have that I think, forgot all about it! Thanks
February 24th, 2014
Nearly got it wrong, too many pictures but here's my Blue Mood

February 24th, 2014
@barneyone Oops, the perils of a photo collage. Thanks for taking part Rita, but I've noticed you have tagged the collage mfpiac3 and it should be mfpiac2.

Ps We have the same mugs as you!
February 24th, 2014
@kazprincess thank you!!!
February 24th, 2014
@paulaw good choice Paula, I love this idea and I have more than one favourite colour so I like this challenge.

February 25th, 2014
@paulaw Ha ha ha ... poor you! :-)
February 25th, 2014
@jayberg Love your choice of collage photos and colour! Beautiful.
February 25th, 2014
Great choice of theme :) I'll have to see what I can come up with

Here is mine - Brick Orange - at Quail Crest Farm.
February 26th, 2014
@triciakano Love your color choice!! Great pics!
February 26th, 2014
@jodibear58 Thank you, yours is vey nice too!
February 26th, 2014


My take on blue. Collages are addictive. :)
February 26th, 2014
February 26th, 2014
My first collage ever! it was much harder than I thought!!

February 26th, 2014
Here's a quick question: anyone know a good way to sort photos by color? Also, is it cheating to ask, what is your favorite color???? :) @paulaw
February 26th, 2014
I'm afraid I not the most techy person Adam so can't really help about the sorting by colour question but you could try asking the question in a separate thread where someone may have some answers. With regard to my favourite colour .......... well that would be telling! Seriously I'm really not looking forward to choosing 5 finalists, every single collage I have seen in wonderful. Am thinking of mirroring them up on the TV and getting the family's opinion (although not 100% sure if that's allowed!!) Good luck with your collage.
February 26th, 2014
Ok. That was fun.

I've got the blues....

February 26th, 2014
My color is blue. Well, at least what I perceive as blue :)

February 27th, 2014
here is a go at the color brown..
February 27th, 2014
@mace508 They are!! Love the blue you picked!
February 27th, 2014

green for me
February 27th, 2014
@paulaw Hi Paula.

Wow, what incredible collages. Please advise whether the photos in the collage have to be within my 365 project? In other words, can I delve into my non-365 archive?

Kate x
February 27th, 2014
All the collages are so beautiful. Here's an entry: not sure that yellow is my personal favorite color, but today it made me think about summer (sigh).
February 27th, 2014
@hh Hi Kate for the collage challenges the pics don't have to be from your 365 Project. Have fun!
February 27th, 2014
@triciakano Love your brick orange collage! Nice one.
February 27th, 2014
@acloserlookpbd Loving your brown collage! Beautiful textures too.
February 27th, 2014
White
February 27th, 2014
@acloserlookpbd Love the close-up and dreamy browns!
February 27th, 2014
@paulaw Thank you for clarifying this, Paula.

@elaine55 You'd love my house, it's surrounded in tons of white snow! LOL!
February 27th, 2014
@jamibann I love pink, too! Gorgeous flowers!
February 27th, 2014
@homeschoolmom lovely collage Lisa but it looks like you've transposed a couple of the letters in the tag.
February 28th, 2014
I love these challenges!

Great idea for a collage, @paulaw ! Here's my entry...

February 28th, 2014
February 28th, 2014
I don't do collages very often and it was more difficult than I expected to select pictures and then try to fit them together. Did make for a fun walk down memory lane, however.
