Easily create a photo collage with picasa 3 as a free collage maker. Earlier We saw how to make photo collage with the free software Photoscape.This tutoiral is on how to create even better photo collages with Picasa 3, a free image editor and photo organizer from google. Picasa 3 is also an excellent free collage maker to make picture collages.
How to create photo collage with picasa 3?
- Free Download Picasa 3 and install
- open picasa 3.Picasa 3 will automatically detect all images on your PC/computer and create a library.From the library, Choose the photos that you want to create as a photo collage. (Note that you can even deselect certain photos later, while editing the collage).
- Click Collage at the bottom ribbon to start creating photo collage
- On clicking collage, you will be automatically taken to a settings tab (on the left), where you can customize the looks of your photo collage (displayed on the right)
- You can choose to arrange the photos either as a picture pile or as a mosaic or frame mosaic or grid or as contact sheet.There is one more option called multiple exposure but I wasn’t very successful with it.You can however give it a try
- If you choose a picture pile setting for your photo collage, you can specify a collage frame (picture border), background color, page format and even draw shadows to all pictures in the photo collage
- If you choose a mosaic or frame moasic or grid display for your photo collage, you can specify grid spacing between photos and a background color
- You can even select an image and remove it from the photo collage. Or you can even shuffle the pictures or scramble the photos on your photo collage
- You can even select a picture from the photo collage and and apply a specific border or background.In my example (photo collage at the bottom), I have applied the “Instant camera” border for one picture alone.
- Click create Collage to create the photo collage
- After creating the collage you can edit it to do some basic fixes like cropping, repairing red eye flaws, adjusting contrast etc.
- You can also edit the photo collage to tune it for light, shadows, color temperature etc.
- Finally you can also edit the photo collage to give some special effects like Focal B&W (Black and white), glow, tint etc.
- Finally you can upload the created photo collage to a web album in Picasa or email it or take a print.You can even do an export, to copy the photo collage to a folder on your hard disk
That is it folks!!! You can create amazing photo collages, as easily as outlined above, with Picasa 3.Enjoy making photo collage with picasa 3 as a collage maker!!!
when i try to create a collage and save it, it has this big “DRAFT” sign written all over it. how do i get rid of the draft sign?? please help!
the draft appears only during the creation process but once the collage maker completes creating the collage, it automatically disappears.
You will then see options to give effects and do corrections.
picasa can be used to easily create a polaroid with the inbuilt collage maker.

hi,
i have already created a collage…..now i want edit it ,,,like rotating some photos, their size , n add some more photos…….
even on double clicking , the ” edit collage ” doesnt appear to the right of ” back to library “……..what do i do now…
When I tried to click on create collage button, nothing happens. I don’t know if it was saved or not. When I try to close PICASA 3, it says save changes to the unsaved file. I did. Now I can’t seem to find where the fuck is that PICASA 3 saved my collage.. Damn it!
