Theme Thursday – Collection<\/strong><\/p>\n

#####\u00a0<\/p>\n

This week’s theme was brought to you by Bunny<\/a>.\u00a0 She wanted to know how to create a collage.\u00a0 Creating a collage of pictures isn’t really hard at all.\u00a0 It is a little time consuming to get everything the right size, but overall you will find that it is pretty easy to do.<\/p>\n

Here are the steps:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Decide what size you want to make it.\u00a0 For my example I chose to make it square.\u00a0 To create a new document, just go to:\u00a0 File->New and then choose the size.\u00a0 I chose 10×10 with 300 resoluton, just in case I want to print it.\u00a0 If you just want to have it for the web, all you need is 72 resolution.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Decide what pictures and how many you want in your collage.\u00a0 I don’t like it to be too cluttered so I try to keep it between 3-4 pictures.\u00a0 Select your pictures and edit them.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Now drag and drop your pictures onto the new canvas (hit the “v” button to drag the pictures).\u00a0 You will most likely have to make them smaller to fit.\u00a0 Put your\u00a0cursor and click over one of the little boxes on the edge of the picture.\u00a0 The\u00a0top toolbar will then show width and height measurements, and you can make them smaller.\u00a0 Make sure the measurements for height and width are the same % so the pictures are not skewed.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 After you have positioned\u00a0 the pictures where you want them, choose the brush tool (hit the “b” key) and make it a square brush.\u00a0 Choose the color you want with the color palette at the bottom of the side toolbar.\u00a0 Make a new layer on top of the others.\u00a0 Use the square brush around the outside to create a frame.\u00a0 Hint:\u00a0 Click in the corner, hold it down, hit shift, hold\u00a0and then drag your cursor across.\u00a0 This will make sure it is a straight line all the way across.\u00a0 Do this around all the edges.\u00a0 I used black around the edges, then I used a smaller brush on the inside with white.<\/p>\n

If you have CS2\/CS3 the inside edge is much easier.\u00a0 Just double click on the layer, and a box will open.\u00a0 Check the stroke box and click on it.\u00a0 It will add a line on the inside, but the color may not be what you want.\u00a0 Click on the box with the color and choose another.\u00a0 You can also make the size larger.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 All done!\u00a0 This was yesterday…hopefully this snow<\/em> is the last snow. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
