How to Make a Collage in Picasa

Okay so I am presenting my first tutorial in Picasa...how to make a Collage. Now Open up your program and as you can see it shows all of the photo's you've uploaded and photo's in your computer. Now to keep it simple, we are only going to select 5 photos (I know it might seem complicated) but once you get the hang of it, it will be very easy. Now it's important that you understand how to select your images.

Selecting your images
So your screen in Picasa should look similar to this:

of course your screen is personalized with your images so, in order to select images you need to select your first image. So select your first image. and as you can see it appears in the lower left corner. Look closely at my screen:

Notice how the picture I selected is in the lower left hand corner? Well in order to be able to select multiple photo's, you need to hold the picture you have currently selected. Which that button looks like this:

and you have to press that after every image that you select. so therefore after the 5 images I selected this is what your corner screen should look like (with your images of course):

See? Like I said, this isn't as hard as you thought huh? :)

Creating your Collage
Now the second step, so that you can actually create your collage is to click Create > Picture Collage, here is a picture to clarify it a little bit for you:

Now that you have clicked on that, your screen should look similar to this:

Now this is where you get to actually create your collage and customize it the way you want. So make your choice (my computer doesn't let me do multiple exposure) but you have a few choices which they are

1. Picture Pile
2. Mosiac
3. Frame Mosiac
4. Grid
5. Contact Sheet

I can't tell you how to personally set your collage so play with the controls a little bit.Make the Collage to something that you like. 

After you're pleased with your collage, press create collage:

And after that, it automatically saves your collage on your computer and it is ready to be shared on Facebook, Google +, Twitter, or however you prefer to share your collage. You can also add text to it, or do any further editing you would like. I have made up examples of every type of collage with the same 5 pictures.
