You can create a beautiful collage with only a few steps.

 

Drag the collage-object from the toolbox into the image list.

 

CollageIcon

 

This adds a collage to your slide show. Click on this collage in the image list and you will see a message in the layout designer

telling you, that the collage is empty at the moment. To fill it just click the "Image, Text, Sound"-object in the toolbox.

A dialog appears where you can choose all images you want to use for the collage.

 

They are added to the collage because it was highlighted. When you click the TreePlus next to the object you can look at all images contained in the collage.

Now click on each image in turn and move and resize them at whim until you like the result.

Now add a text object from the toolbox and position it wherever you want it.

 

Text

 

Hint

If the text doesn't appear in the collage, you probably didn't have it selected. You can click the text object and drag and drop it into the collage. This works in the image list, the timeline and the storyboard.

 

Now your collage is almost finished. You have images and test. The images can also overlap. And you can create a "picture-in-picture" – effect when you leave the first image in full screen size.

 

You can open the collage in the timeline by clicking the same TreePlus. The images are shown one over the other so that you get a quick overview over all images in the collage.

As you can see assembling a respectable collage is quick and easy. Just play around with the images until you like what you see.

You can add zooms and pans to a collage the same as to an "Image-with-effects". Try it out.
