In the trial version I created just the collage that I wanted of my sons wedding. Did not save it though due to the watermark.
After purchasing I used the same 12 images, but did not realize that each collage would be random.
Is there a way to move the images around a bit?
Version 1.0 of AutoCollage is designed to be as automatic as possible. Unfortunately this means that edits such as selecting the location of images within a colllage isn't possible.
This is a good feature suggestion, and I will pass it along to the development team for consideration for any potential future versions of AutoCollage.
i was under teh impression it repeated itself. so if you have a 12 pic collage, you would essentially get 12 variations then repeats back to the first one.
Strictly speaking it's possible the collages would cycle after a while. However, I wouldn't rely on it as it is not an intended feature.
Got some math help, and if the collages are "random" there would be 479,001,600 possible layouts.
Since, I believe the software does some facial recognition and perhaps some placement by size, this number could be off somewhat.
my assumption came from a previous question posed by myself and was given an answer

Alisson is absolutely the authority on what AutoCollage is actually doing. Thanks for setting me straight! :)
