Don’t know what to do with all of those photos? My only concern with not printing photos really anymore is losing them! So, needless to say I back them up and store them in a lockbox just in case something were ever to happen. Gasp! Otherwise, I can’t have 5 million pictures around my house. Enter Shape Collage.
Shape Collage was started by Vincent Cheung in 2007 because he had thousands of photos and didn’t know what to do with them. He thought about making a photo collage with his photos, but didn’t like the existing collage making programs. They required too much work to make a collage, they didn’t look nice, and they didn’t give you enough control. He begin tinkering around and invented a new algorithm for automatically arranging photos in a collage. Vincent then realized that his algorithm wasn’t restricted to just boring rectangular collages like everyone else, and so, Shape Collage was born!
Shape Collage is the only collage maker that:
- optimally arranges photos
- creates collages in different shapes
- can handle thousands of photos
- generates super high-resolution images (up to 200 megapixels)
- makes collages in just seconds
- exports to Photoshop PSD file format
I think it’s a wonderful idea as many people (myself included) don’t know what to do with their pictures. It’s easy to put them into these fun collages as well. You can choose the free version or upgrade to the Pro version. The Pro version does not contain a watermark and you can edit and and save projects. The only downside was that I wish they offered a printing service. One of these (or more) could be neat hanging on the wall, but I may need a bigger size than the typical 4×8 or 5×7 that typically prints.
