    I don’t normally subscribe, as most how-to presenters waste more time than inform. The pace, presentation, and thoroughness of this video are OUTSTANDING. This sets the standard. Amazing.

    Gary - as I was watching this video, I was just shaking my head at your "awesomeness" (is that a word?). You constantly amaze me as to the depth of your knowledge about all things Mac, including the native apps. This one was especially memorable. As if the collage tutorial wasn't enough (it was), one of my biggest "aha" moments was your revelation that the green button on the upper left did something more than just expand the window to full screen! I'll be using that one a lot! thank you for all you do for us Mac users. 🙏

    At last! A tutorial that covers every single step and doesn't assume that I "just know" where to go and what to do! I will look at your other videos for other Mac Mysteries - thank you for the thorough coverage of this topic.

    VERY VERY HELPFUL! I used to use Adobe, Pagemaker, Corel Draw, etc. etc.on a PC but moved to a Mac after retirement. I haven't really pushed myself to learn layout in Pages, but now I will since you showed me these steps. I'll experiment more. Thank you.

    This was fantastic. I tried downloading an app, but it didn't allow me all the same options. Also, the resolution of my pictures was lessened in the collage. I'm sure glad I discovered your site. You know more than they do at the Apple store.

    Thank you so much, Gary! I needed to make a collage of about 80 portraits and your video came at the perfect time. I was already looking for special collage programs and now, admittedly after some trial and error, I was able to create a collage with pages that I can now update over and over again. Great!

    Fantastic! I just wanted to add that in 2023 Pages now has the ability to "Export to Images" (not sure if it could do that 3 years ago or not). I was having issues with the quality of the photos diminishing after opening in Preview, etc. (looked too compressed and "blurry"). The Export to Images fixes that if you run into it and shaves off a step:-)

    • @macmost

  • @maypoman2
    @maypoman2 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Oh my gosh! Around 11 minutes into your video you shared a tool I have been looking for! I was a hold-out for iPhoto until Catalina made me use Photos. I do like Photos - - thanks to what I have learned from you. But one thing I miss from iPhoto is the ability to create WHITE Vignettes (as opposed to only BLACK Vignettes in Photos.) White Vignettes are handy when you have a nice photo of someone but there is someone else in the photo - - and a square crop would look clunky - - or not completely cut out the other person. White Vignettes are also nicer since if you paste the photo on a white background, it creates a nice circle around the person. (With black vignettes, you will still have the square or rectangle shape that will not blend into a white background.) Now learning how to drag photos into shapes like circles or ovals, I can once again come close to creating a White vignette by making the Page a jpg since the part outside of the round shape will be white. THANKS Gary !!!

    Not so easy in practice though! I'm trying to overlay logos onto photos and they're not fitting into the shapes. Might take another approach for this one, but I still really appreciate your tutuorial and will try to follow it another time.

  • @TheKyleeKae

    If for some reason you see this, I've followed step by step, and at 1:46 under show rulers its not clear how to do the margins on the bottom and right sides and my computer wont let me?

    • @macmost
      @macmost  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not sure what you mean by "my computer wont let me." Is there an error message? Or what? That part of the video is about putting handy rulers on the page, not margins. Use the Document button at the top right and then you can set margins in the sidebar.

  • @jdengelkirk

    Hi! Can you size the collage to be used as wallpaper on a IPad or Mac? What would the appropriate dimensions be? Great tutorial!

    • @macmost
      @macmost  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends on your screen's resolution. Make it exactly that. But maybe use Keynote instead of Pages where it is easier to create something that is measured in pixels instead of inches/mm.

  • @Peter78730
    @Peter78730 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have been writing this down, but you lost me with clicking the green button. After that, I gave up and have decided to either forgo the project or take the photos to Walmart! Simply too complicated to be worthwhile. In spite of that , your videos are terrific and so well done !

  • @SagarikaGolder
    @SagarikaGolder 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can the same thing be done in keynote? Since in keynote it is easier to convert it to JPEG. What is the advantage of using Pages over Keynote?

    • @macmost
      @macmost  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, you can use Keynote. In general, it helps to start with Pages if your goal is printing, and Keynote if your goal is the screen. But the same basic tools for images are in both.

    I’m putting the holiday email out for my family. I built a collage that looks great. However the amount of memory it takes is stopping me from emailing it. Do you have a handy tip for resizing my collage for email? New subscriber here for sure. Thanks for your help so far. Nice video informative.

    • @macmost
      @macmost  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Instead of sending it with each message as an attachment, maybe share it with an iCloud link (or DropBox or whatever you like)? That's friendlier for other people's email accounts and prevents them from using that bandwidth if they happen to look at your email while on mobile or at a bad moment.
      Otherwise, open it in Preview and then export as a jpeg image with more compression and maybe a smaller size.

    Hi Gary, I'm using Pages 11.2 and not able to drag the right and bottom ruler to a 1" border. I looked around a bit and didn't see any settings that will allow this. If you or anyone can help with this question many thanks in advance. My best friend, Scrappy, died last month and want to make a collage of pictures of him. He was a once in a life time friend and miss him more with each passing day. Edit - I can drag another line from the left and top and will proceed with assumption that it will work the same.

    When I want to print on Canon printer from pages it gives the options for a document but not for a photo. This means I can't load photo paper and the resolution will also not be as good. It is disappointing. I find doing a collage on Adobe PHoto Elements is hard too, it is hard to put a lot of photos in and then it defaults to making it automatically - no control. Any help?

    • @macmost
      @macmost  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you are printing from Pages, then you are printing a document. If you want to just print a Photo, print from the Photos app, or Preview if it is a file.
