I'm not sure if I'm supposed to put things like this on here but I'm looking for a little help if that's ok?
I'm a member of a 'fledgling' Photography Club which has been running for a while, that has had a few ideas, but now that we are almost 60 strong it's unfair and really not practical to leave everything to the lady that set up the Club. Most of the members were complete beginners, or at least had little knowledge on how to switch their camera from auto to manual. An informal 'committee' is being set up to share the load, come up with new ideas, new suggestions and new ways of learning. I want to get involved and I think I have some really good ideas (mainly because I am part of the 365Project gang) and one of my ideas is for everyone to learn how to make collages, then give a theme for people to work on (just like MFPIAC). The trouble is that I only know of Picasa and Picture Maker Pro as free apps that they might be able to use.
Any suggestions with regard to free software apps for making collages? What do you use? What would you recommend? I could just google this, but I have no way of knowing whether an app is any good. Any help from you guys would be very much appreciated - plus it will mean I can try a different app too!
FastStone is a good processing/editing program which is free to download (you are just asked for a one-off voluntary donation initially). It comes with a how-to guide within the program. I've been using Picasa or PicMonkey for collages and just also found out how to make them on FastStone
I use ribbet for all my processing and collages I find it very simple to use I learn as go along and if I make a mistake it can be undone or at the very end discarded and the original put back into your file. It is also free for most processing including collages http --www.ribbet
Picmonkey is what I've used. Free and simple. Challenge them to join 365! I think its what has helped my photography the most! Id love to join a club but its the night kids swimming lessons are.
I agree with the recommendations for Picmonkey. I've used Picasa but had to remove it as it was doing wonky things with my photos and saving them. Probably just a toggle in settings but I couldn't find them.
Tweets ahoy!
