[LegacyUG] Making collages [was Reports]
You don't have to scan all the pics at once. You can make a collage with photo editing software. Even the free Faststone Image Viewer has this facility - use the Tools > Wallpaper anywhere. Change the background colour. Use as many photos as you like, use the masks to blur or shape the images. The limitation with Faststone is that the resolution will be your screen resolution. I now have a 1680x1050 pixel monitor so that's not the drawback it was. With more sophisticated photo editing software you can add photos to the one canvas and rearrange, rotate individual images etc. But you need layers to do it that way. Or use Microsoft Publisher or Powerpoint and then save the slide as a jpg. Collage images are very useful to add to Legacy Calendars. Make a collage of everyone who has a birthday or anniversary that month. Cathy At 01:13 AM 20/12/2007, you wrote: Rich, I like that idea! Are the individual pictures large enough to be readily viewed when you have a group scanned as one? I would think 2-4 would be the maximum you could include. Alas, my scanner senses when there are separate pictures on the glass and scans each one separately, unless they're touching! Thanks for using Legacy.

Re: [LegacyUG] Making collages [was Reports]
I really like the idea of making collages of those in a month. And you can get newer pictures every year. Let it be known after the first time. (Blackmail?)
