Use Photo Collage to create the perfect Photo Gift

So what if you’ve got loads of photos? You want to create a montage on each month of your favourite Photos - Maybe it’s a wedding or a holiday or just lots of family photos? Fotoflexer.com allows you to create collages of your photos which you can simply save out and then upload to your calendar. These photo collages work best on our Large Photo Calendars as there is more space for the photo, but if you want to include two photos on one month then all our photo products work really well, even our photo Notebooks!

Use the basic tab to create your collage. Choose the number of photos that you want to include and the upload them. You can amend the space of the collage and change the spacing between the photos by using the slide rule to the left hand side - ‘spacing’. Amend the position of the photo and choose which part you want to 'show'. As you can see I have cropped the image to show the two boys with the ice-creams.

There are lots of formats to try and you can include and as many photos as you want. Perfect for creating a montage of photos for your photos gift.

Top Tip: Make sure that the final collage is the right proportions to fit on your photo calendar, landscape works best on most calendars.

Little Tweaks make the perfect Pic! Part one Light Photos

Usually your photos are nearly perfect. You just want a little tinkle and tweak and it would be perfect! Often changing the Hue, saturation or lighten of a photo can be all it takes. A small change could make all the difference to your photo gift.

I’ve chosen some stills from our recent Personalised Photo Calendar video and this week I’ll show you one way to quickly tweak your photos. So this is the photo I’ll use this week. So your photo’s a little lighter than you wanted – but don’t worry, simply upload it to pixlr.com

As you can see my photos a little bit light and I want to darken it a little so you can see the colours better. So I upload my photo; select Adjustments and then Hue and Saturation.

By amending the lightness to -10 you can see the difference that it makes to photo. My image is now perfect and ready to use on my Photo Notebook. I simply save the image to my desktop ready to upload and use on my photo notebook at calendarwizard
