How do i make a COLLAGE on photobucket? or reccommend a better site?

[relcelestia]

not sure if this is the right forum for this...


but i used to make collages all the time in photobucket, like the one in my sig


but now theyve changed everything and i cant figure out how to make something similar


i used a tutorial about an "add image" option but it isnt doing what i want


if i cant do it there can someone reccommend a different pic hosting site??

I think I recall someone else complaining about this recently because apparently you can't anymore. I'm afraid I don't know of any other sites that allow it though.

I'm not sure about any online sites, but you could do it in any paint/photo program (you can download Gimp for free).

cool! Will that work on a mac??

bump, anyone else?

The only thing I can recommend is getting GIMP.  I don't know of anywhere else where you can make a collage nowadays, sorry.

I'm not sure if it'll work on a Mac, I think I've heard it will. You'll have to research and find out.

CS Photoshop.

And should all else fail, Paint (but the latter is a windows, read PC, thing)

If you have a certain something in mind I'm sure someone on the arena (me included) could try and fix it for you
I'm unemployed anyway! [See, now who thought that would come in handy?]

I ended up using this website

You will have to create a new file and add your photos as new layers ("open as a layer" or something like that). You can then edit each layer, i.e. picture, separately, resize, drag around the background layer and whatever you want, without affecting the other layers. Just remember to check you're editing the correct layer and not another one, or the whole thing. GIMP is really handy but it needs a while to get used to, especially if you're not familiar with photo editing software like Photoshop.

I'm happy to hear you found something else that works for you, though.

Griffin is right, it's not an automatic collage thing, you have to do it manually (shrinking the pics, positioning, etc).

Glad you found a site that works for you.
