Creating Multi-Photo Collages

14. You can open additional photos onto the collage dragging them from the left-pane to the right window.

Or click on left-pane thumbnails to add photos in order when the Collage Add toolbar button is down.  Initially the photos open into a row-wise grid.  You can toggle off Add Row-wise to Collage in the Edit menu to have newly opened photos initially placed below each other.

Repeat from Step 7 for each additional photo added into the collage.

15. To move or resize a collage photo, click on it to select it with pull tabs.  Move the cursor over any of the tabs and drag with the left mouse button down to resize the photo.  Move over the small diagonal arrows in the upper-left corner and drag to rotate the photo.  Move the cursor anywhere else around the edge of the photo and drag to move the photo.

The Toolbar View menu command allows you to hide the top toolbar so that your right pane collage window is bigger for laying out large collages.  Use it again (or press F5) to toggle it back on and use toolbar commands.  You can also drag the divider bar between the left folders pane and right collage window with the left mouse button to allow more layout area horizontally.

If desired, you can toggle Snap to Grid Dots in the View menu to turn on alignment guides that photos automatically snap to.

16. Photos can overlap in the collage.  To force a photo to show above another, right click on it in the right-pane collage window and choose Show Image on Top. Or choose Show Image on Bottom to move it below other photos.
