FS2017 - Collage picture placement

merlin-beedell wrote on 2/3/2017, 3:13 AM

I would love to be able to position the photos within a photo-collage.  As most collages will crop the photos in order to place them in the frame sections, I find that the important part of the photo can get cropped out or not centered.

Indeed, manual photo sizing and placement is a bit of a fiddle in FotoStory (Fx menu / View & animation / Camera zoom or size&position - far too buried for these often needed features!!)

PS. Can I create my own Collage templates?

I don't use Fotostory (Photostory?). But I'd suggest you simply crop your images appropriately before importing them. Use your preferred image editor to centralise that part you consider 'important'.
