Create a collage

Post by mholdgruen »

I try to create a collage w/ GC. First I create ne new canvas in the desired size, in this case 50cm x 23cm. The white canvas appears. Now I want to copy and place photos on this canvas.Problem one, how to insert the pictures? After trying this and that I found one way, maybe not the best one: open the picture in Mac Preview, copy and past into GC.Problem two - and this is where I am stuck at the moment - the picture is much bigger than the canvas. How to resize the inserted picture? If I use the mouse on the outline I just crop the picture but do not resize it. Any suggestions???Martin

I think you need to go to the Picture menu and experiment with size and resolution. Do this picture by picture before you paste them in.John.
