Picasa: Create a collage - how it works

In this practical tip, we will show you how to create collages in Picasa.

How to create a picture collage with Picasa

Once you've opened Picasa, you can easily create your own picture collage using the following steps:

• Select all the photos you want to use for your collage by holding down the [Ctrl] key. If you want to use all the photos in a folder at once, press [Ctrl] and [A] at the same time.
• Click on "Create" in the menu and then on "Image Collage". A preview now opens in a next window. Usually the pictures are all jumbled up (see picture).
• If you want to prevent this, click on the arrow in the top left corner and you will get a larger selection. Change the collage according to your wishes.
• Use the sliding arrow below to scale the size of the gaps between the individual images. Give the gaps different colors and choose a screen format.
• With a click on the button below the collage you can also ensure that the images are mixed again.
• When everything has been created, click on "Create collage" on the left.
