Agreed the new collage maker is a hot mess. Why can I only shuffle the photos before I choose my sizing????? I shuffle original photos and then resize to Instagram Story size but then have zero option to reshuffle to match the new sizing and layout.  The OLD collage maker was SO MUCH EASIER. How has this not been fixed yet???  Just recreate what you had before in this new version of Adobe.

Hi all,

We understand the frustration and difficulties you faced with the new Adobe Express. We've been working on improving the app experience and have come up with updates that might help you with some issues.

I'd suggest you go through the post for creating grids/collage:https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express-discussions/updates-for-the-new-adobe-express-as-of-sept-8th/td-p/14068398

 

We are still working on getting the experience smooth and will be rolling out updates.

Thanks,

It is still there but not as handy as before.

Go to the + icon and then choose a format that you want, then a empty page will load and on your left is a tab called "grid" under elements.

From there you can create a collage again.

I wish they will bring the old version back were I could just upload a few photos and that it will create it for me.

What a major mess up this is. This was a go-to option.

I am going to jump in on the outrage for this going away.  It was something I use in just about all my creations.  Software wise, it can't be that difficult to implement.  Not understanding Adobe's decision process here.

Why remove this feature? It was the only reason I paid for Adobe Express. As much as it makes me cringe, Canva continues to improve and I am just going to stick with them. I am really disappointed in Adobe, I have used Adobe products for almost 20 years and they continue to create problems for users vs solutions.

How Bazaar, I downloaded LR for the sole purpose to make great collage displays for news groups, and after poking around forever, now discover this simple process doesn't even exist.  

And system won't even recognize I'm the only entity of my user name from twenty five years ago, as Philscbx, then responds with already taken,. well yes, by me.. 

Looks like the only option left now is delete any trace of LR from this phone. 

Cheers

So Today I came in to possibly make a gif of three lines of type and then make them a gif as if a flag in light breeze, and I'm not getting anywhere - so why am I hear again with nothing to look forward too.  Just simple stuff to make news groups fun again. 

Now retired, and funds very limited, I'd rather have dinner vs search for hours,

and never find one thing of fun. 

At least Photo Studio Pro has simple to use

collage built in.

Thanks for responding.

 

> If you need a new grid, too bad

Yes, this is a limitation. Understood.


> you can't resize, recrop, etc.
This works for me. You can resize the entire grid using corner handles (you may need to Detach page background first) and individal cells using edge handles. To re-crop an image within a cell, double click first.

 

Here's a quick recording (view it on a desktop/laptop device):

Hope this helps,

Using the grids from your exisiting projects does not work just fine because you are stuck using only those grids.  If you need a new grid, too bad. Plus, it just feels so clunky -- you can't resize, recrop, etc.

Collage maker was the best feature, the only reason I used express.  Who thought it was a good idea to remove? Please bring back should be pretty straight forward to add it back. Can be done in 24 hours.
