I would like to be able to create larger photo collages. At present I am limited to 50 photos and 121.9 centimetres squared. Each year I manually create a photo collage of all of my photos for that year and hang it on the wall for us all to see. The size is 600cm * 800cm and usually includes just over 100 photos. AutoCollage is going to save me an absolutely huge amount of time but at present I will have to generate 10 separate collages (60cm * 80cm) and join them altogether. Obviously this still saves me a huge amount of time but the result isn't what I want because it looks like 10 pictures all joined together. Could you increase the limits ?

Thanks (and BTW AutoCollage is a superb tool).

Hi Guy -

Thank you for your feedback and your question. Wow! 6 x 8 meters is quite large. Did you mean 60 x 800 cm or 600 x 80cm perhaps?

Unfortunately I don't believe we'll be able to increase the limits in AutoCollage to the extent you need, because of memory constraints. However, we'll make a note of your suggestion for any future releases of AutoCollage.

Thanks again,

john

Oops, a small slip of the units there. I wasn't paying attention. The current limit on a size of 120cm * 120cm is quite fine for my purpose - 6 metres by 8 metres is larger than I require - I don't think we have any rooms this big!

But it would be useful to have more than 50 images. One collage is 195 images large so I need to create 4 collages of 30cm by 40cm to cope with this.

Sorry to have troubled you.

Guy
