I feel silly because i've used it for years and only realised recently you can change a collage from portrait to landscape :/ Just wasnt looking properly at all the options I guess :))) It's so user friendly too.TashNzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146884245899602417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-84014746355974621792012-05-10T16:34:07.833-07:002012-05-10T16:34:07.833-07:00Tash, that sounds a fabulous thing to do.

One way I display my photo's is (for example) if I keep a record of my daughters netball season I upload a pic or two from the game onto Picassa and then crop away or make a collage then sent it off to the Picnik website to edit in whatever way to record the score and stuff... I upload the photo into Facebook TashNzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146884245899602417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-52116808690375293732012-05-10T00:55:41.642-07:002012-05-10T00:55:41.642-07:00I always forget to take photographs & if I do ...I always forget to take photographs & if I do it takes 100 to get one decent one.Mary Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201076939557413255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-32086280621727354342012-05-09T22:22:59.525-07:002012-05-09T22:22:59.525-07:00Hi Fiona,

So much talent in the Lowe household :)<br /><br />We have photos in frames on a shelf in the lounge room and some scattered around the house. Ours are all family photos, and we have the odd painting or cross stitch (when I used to stitch) but most are photos ranging from a large black and whiteSerena Tatti Story Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17925330119104651251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-4991528858563630732012-05-09T17:04:32.782-07:002012-05-09T17:04:32.782-07:00Girlygirl, we had the photos scattered around our ...Girlygirl, we had the photos scattered around our previous house in different spots before we ended up here with a gallery wall.

My 13 year old converted the photos into banners but from now on we are instructed to take 'panorama' shots!<br />We have one of those slide converters and they are great. We used them last year for my mum's 80th. So many slides to convert and so little time....Fiona Lowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15288636480105248658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-89267241391079274942012-05-09T17:01:34.762-07:002012-05-09T17:01:34.762-07:00Kaelee, you're right, I forgot the boats.

Not because we don't love it, we do and it's one of my faves but because I distinctly recall asking him to take it as it would make a fab shot and having to convince him of it.

I love having a digital camera and being able to print or view pics so easily without hauling out an album. I'm wondering now about transferring some of the old slides into digital pics. That would be fun!
