How to create Mother’s Day wallpaper

8 maj 2009 · Dodaj komentarz

Using Fotonea.com you can easily create not only beautiful collages, but also desktop wallpaper for Mother’s Day. Just upload a few pictures of yourself or your family and make unique wallpaper! See my example below – in this case I used a few photos of everyday food, so my Mother can see that I eat properly ;)

New version

15 kwiecień 2009 · Dodaj komentarz

Large part of Fotonea.com users could not save any collage since they used Internet Explorer browser. I have written version no 2, which uses Flash, not canvas tag. Flash should be available for over 95% of users, and saving should be also faster. Try it now: fotonea.com

First page almost didn’t change (I added a resolution selection, what can be useful for someone creating a desktop wallpaper), but second page (creating the collage) has more changes: different menu, draggable windows, publishing and commenting of collages.

Just to remind I’ll describe the steps to create a collage, after images are uploaded.

Drag the corner to rotate/scale the image, or drag the image to move it.

f2-1

You can add frames to pictures.

f2-2

Adding texts works as before.

f2-3

You can add some additional images to the collage – this function did not change.

f2-4

Click “save” to save your collage. A new window will open up, where you have a link to download the collage, and a link to share the collage.

Option “collages” also opens this window, with last one and previous versions of your collage.

f2-5

“Share” function will open new browser window, where you can set the title, author and short description of your collage. You can also choose whether you want your collage to be private or public, and if you want the visitors to be able to leave comments.

f2-6

After publishing you should see 2 links: the upper one which you can copy and email to friends, and the bottom one, which is the secret link (only for You) to edit or delete the collage.

f2-7

The collage which is published looks like the one below: with a title, description, visitor counter and a field for comments. You can see the example here. Commenting system uses Facebook Connect, so if you are logged in to Facebook, your comment and a link to the collage will show up in you Facebook status (if you leave this option on).f2-8

Enjoy! Try it now: fotonea.com

How to create a collage online, without Photoshop or other software

24 wrzesień 2008 · Dodaj komentarz

This is the easiest way of creating a collage from your pictures, and you don’t need any software! There is nothing wrong with using some software, of course, and you can process images better and add more effects, but what if you don’t have anything installed and you don’t want to spend your time looking for the right program?
Here is the solution: www.fotonea.com
I will try to explain each step. First, upload a few pictures, which you want to use for your collage. You can upload a few images at once. Do not exceed maximum size or resolution.

Next, click on the link “show” in order to see available backgrounds for your collage. The backgrounds have resolution of 1024 x 786 pixels, so the finished collage will have also the same resolution. It can also be used as a wallpaper on your computer!

Selected background will show up on the right side.

Next, if all images are uploaded and you selected one of the backgrounds, it is the time to open the collage. Click on the “create collage” link. Wait until new page opens and all pictures are shown. At the beginning they can be overlapping each other. Just click on a picture and drag it away. When you click on the corner of a picture, you can rotate and resize it.

A panel with available commands is shown at the top (it can also be dragged, try on the logo). With one click you can add a frame to the picture, or add a text to the collage.

Well, it’s almost done! If the collage is ready, just click the “Save” or “Export” button. The difference is the following: “export” opens another tab in your browser with finished collage, from where you need to save it (File/Save as); it is faster option, but the browser will save the image as png file; “save” needs to send whole finished collage to the server, what is slower, but then you will have the option to save the image as a jpg or as a png file.

Both options currently work only in Firefox or Opera browsers. Users of Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome or other browsers will have to save finished collage differently, via screenshot and crop in Paint for example.

Here’s the finished collage. Thanks, Oliwier!

There is great list of online image editing tools, but none of them provides such collage creation functionality, so I hope this will be useful.

Have fun and enjoy.
