What happened to the create a collage from photos?

New Here ,
Aug 24, 2023 Aug 24, 2023

It used to be super easy to create a great looking collage in Adobe Express. I could select multiple pictures and it would build it. Any size I chose, and let me play with it until I saved it.  I can't seem to do that anymore. HELP PLEASE!

Hey @julyice22, Adobe Express now has a quick action tool as Collage maker. You can upload images directly from devices and select the layout for the collage. Please refer to this help article for details on using the feature: https://adobe.ly/3JulVyN

 

Hope this helps!

Best,

Amitej

I have the same issue. It's the one feature I used almost everyday. And and from I can tell, as of right now, that feature has been removed.

I, too, used that feature all the time. I'm working on family history and
it made such beautiful collages. Now it's basically the same as PhotoShop.
Sad that they made the change.

This is nuts! It was what we primarily subscribe to Adobe for! They need to bring back the simple Express way to create a photo collage from selected, uploaded photos - again with several variation choices!

I too cannot find this feature. It is one of the primary ways I use Adobe and saved me a ton of time. It was so efficient. I hope they bring this feature back as soon as possible.

Hi there,

Thank you for chosing Express!

This feature is currently unavailable but the team is actively engaged in efforts to reinstate it.

Unfortunately, a specific timeframe for its return cannot be guaranteed at this moment. Your understanding and patience are greatly appreciated.
Should you have any more questions or need assistance, feel free to ask.

 

Thanks

Hi There,

 

We are working to bring back these features soon; please stay tuned. You can use Grids, now available in Adobe Express, as a workaround for Collage. You can create quick and easy collages with photos and videos by adding Grids to your design.

 

To learn more about the Grid feature, please refer to the link below:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-express-discussions/updates-for-the-new-adobe-express-as-of-sep...

 

Please let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

 

Thank you,

Neelam

This is so disappointing.  Grids is not helpful at all. Please bring back to collage option. Please! I use it all of the time.

Grids is just not user friendly and can not create what the collage option created.

This is amazingly frustrating that this was removed. Like many others, I used this simple and effective tool frequently. In my view, this needs to be a priority for your team to reinstate. Please get this right, ASAP!

Dear Kanika,

It is now December 11, and the collage feature still appears to be missing. This is a VERY popular feature and removing it was simply a bad decision, (same for the scroll bars in Acrobat!) It seems Adobe will do whatever they whatever they want to their software despite the rejection of the people who actually use it. it is clear that there is no intention to bring it back. Please just be honest!

"Currently unavailable"

Smdh ...

This is ridiculously typical of updates. You have tools that work well, and merely for the sake of upgrading to create a "newer" product you can charge for, you alter it beyond the recognition of present users.

 

The latest update of Photoshop is also a wonderful example of reaching for new shiny toy whilst destroying functionality.

 

Must be nice to have a monopoly.

 

i've been using Photoshop for over 20 years and what you've done is appalling.

@Matias4738 

 

The reply you are wanting to downvote is from August last year. Since then, there have been some updates. You might find some of these posts helpful, even if not fully satisfactory.

For anyone that has the CC package intuitive easy and quick collages were the one thing that was missing from PS and AI and Express covered that GAP with the Collage function!! for many of us creative professionals, it was the only reason we used express !!!! Such a dumb move to remove it !!!!! It's painful! please bring it back

Agreed, I've tried the grids and they are terrible to use. Quick and easy collages is literally the only thing I used Express for. Can't believe they took it out.
