Photo collage

Hi, I used to be able to make photo collages really easily by clicking a button on the main page but now I can't find it. This is literally the only thing I use Express for. If I can't easily create photo collages I'm cancelling my subscription.

@Gordon31831404bjal to reiterate what I said earlier, there is no way for a free user to change the size of an existing page. But a free user can create a blank new page of any size.

I see no way of changing the size of the page I'm adding it to.

Hi, @Gordon31831404bjal 

The aspect ratio of the collage in this new "Create collage" workflow is determined by that of the page it's added to. As you've noted, resizing a page that already has content is a paid feature (same as in the previous version of Express). However, creating a blank new page or file with a size of your choosing continues to be free.

So if you want a square collage, you can create a new square file or page, then follow the steps shown in @Ose Amiegheme's video.

 

As for the "it used only three of them", could you confirm that you had all 15 selected before clicking the Create collage button? A screen recording illustrating the issue where certain images are left out from the collage would help.

 

Thanks

Unless you pay for premium you can't change the size or aspect ratio of the
post. This only works if you want to make a small portrait aspect collage.
I tried Dragging my 15 pictures that I want as a square collage into the
grid. It used only three of them. I don't think you understand at all what
people, and there are far more than a few, are complaining about. Look at
the old version. You could set the aspect ratio. Drop your photos in it and
it would create a collage. How can you not see that?

Hello Everyone!!
I am pleased to share some updates we have made to the Grids functionality. You can now easily great a Grid collage by simply selecting the Images and Videos you want in a grid and creating a Grid with one click.

https://www.loom.com/share/54e60e4a826d4c298b48ba3916c3bae5?sid=f5825b20-98c5-4974-821f-5a01ea2b5fb6

I hope this eases some of the challenges you have had with Collage creation. Please try out this feature and share your thoughts in the comments.

Thanks

I can find nowhere on the landing page to make a grid. If I do a run around I can find a grid page. If I do a search I can come up with a grid page that has almost none of the functionality of the original. If I choose a grid template it fills it with a repeated stock feature in a limited number of possibile configurations. I used to be able to upload up to 16 photos of various aspect ratios which it would then cobble together into a collage. That's what I want. Saying that the functionality has returned is ridiculous. It's gone from drag and drop photos which it will then turn into a grid of a specified aspect ratio to first choose a size and a layout which includes only a 3X3 square grid and then perhaps one by one replace each photo with on of your own choosing. Please simply go back to the pre "improved" functionality. The app is worthless until that happens.

Hey @default3305zbop34yu,

 

The layout feature is under development and will be available in some time within Adobe Express for use. Giving any timeframe for it won't be possible for us, but we'll let you know once it is there.

 

Please stay tuned.

 

Thanks,

Amitej

Thank you for choosing Adobe Express. The collage feature is currently unavailable in Adobe Express, but the team is actively working on reinstating this feature as a matter of priority and we hope to bring that capability back very soon.

 

In the interim, you can upvote the request here in UserVoice and you will be notified as soon as the feature becomes available: https://adobeexpress.uservoice.com/forums/951181-adobe-express?query=collage
