Picasa video tutorial

https://vimeo.com/117272378My mom asked me to make her this tutorial and I thought it was a perfect one to share with you guys. I have shared other Fauxtoshop hacks (see what I did there) here and here and you guys really liked them. So I thought I would share another. If you don't know me well, there are 2 things you need to know. One, I am a cheapscape. Two, I like doing things the easy way. So Photoshop is expensive and hard to learn. (Trust me I'm learning it now, because I got it free on my school computer)Your dilemna: The cheapest way to print photos is to have 4x6 photos printed at a printer store with a coupon. But how do you print multiple photos on one print? How do you crop your photos to different sizes? How do you get those cute tiny photos everyone has? Using instagram or square cropped photos in your projects is SO fun, but ordering instragram photos is so expensive and kind of annoying.My solution:   Use Picasa*! Quickly and easily put multiple photos on one 4x6 card in a mass array of different shapes and sizes!Ok, so watch the video and then come back here for examples of how the photos look in an album and to see the measurements of the actual sizes (because I wasn't sure of them as I was filming).I love this technique. I can get such unique sizes of photos this way. The more photos you put on a card, the smaller they get. And when you change the orientation of the background you're using (the 4x6) this will also change the size. Which I think is fun! So play around with it and see what you come up with. If you know any other Picasa tricks let me know!Above: These square photos are about 2.5x2.5 and are my absolute favorite size photos to use in here. They fit perfectly onto the 3x4 cards and take up just enough room to stand alone but not overpower the card. You can get 2 onto one 4x6 photo.Below: These are the 2x2 photos that you would print 6 of on one card. See how much less room they take up? They are a great way to use embellishments on a card still and to get 6 photos printed onto one 4x6, but I still love those bigger squares. Above:  These are really fun too. That bottom square photo is about 3x3 and is perfect for the large 4x6 cards. To get these you will only put one square photo on a 4x6 photo in Picasa.Below: This page is a good example of using the wide photos. They aren't quite 3x4 but are a good way to get wide photos in and use a card. When making these it just depends on how big you want them to know if you should put one or two onto a card. The more photos you put on a card, the smaller they get. But play around with adding different amounts, sizes and changing the orientation and see how you like them!  ***Picasa is a free photo editing software that anyone can download.
