After using Picasa for a while I replaced it with a far more powerfull tool, Adobe Lightroom. Though having everything Picasa has and way more, it lacks one feature. It cant create collages of your pictures as nice as Picasa did. So Picasa stayed on my computer for a long time.
Picasa though also lacks options on this feature, after creating a collage, you cannot edit it. The layout and what pictures are on top are randomly generated and so, getting the right layout can take loads of random generations to come close to what you want.
Visio, being able to move and order shapes very nicely can do this better. So why not make it possible to randomly create a nice collage.
Because I had some spare time, I started working.
Options included in the release:
- Randomly generate locations and angles for pictures (limited angles so you dont get upside down pictures)
PS: Use the menu; Picture stack-> Randomize
- Easy to use menu
- Swappable background
- Swappable page size (Pictures will arrange accordingly)
Things I'm working on:
- Add pictures (duh!, now your stuck with Jessica Biel, could do far worse I suppose)
- Add maps of pictures
I'm doing this for fun, and cause I think Visio should be able to do this better then Picasa can.
I suppose you should download this if your either interested about the feature, the code, generaly interested or interested in Jessica Biel
