How to Do Scrapbook Collages in Picasa
Collages allow you to add multiple photos to a single scrapbook page. The Picasa desktop client has a Collage tool that you can use to create a collage with as many photos as you want. There are multiple options for the collage including a mosaic, picture pile, grid, contact sheet or multiple exposure. The finished collage is saved as a JPEG file, which you can print and paste in a traditional scrapbook or add to a digital scrapbook page.
