david.atwell Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 You can, but why would you? Using layers allows you to rearrange, resize, and modify each image without affecting the others. Layers is one of the best parts of Paint.NET. I recommend you use layers. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Hello Hope, Yes, it is possible to make a collage of several images in a row. You just need to bring each image individually, resize it and drop it in the place you wish. But this method is not practical as if you decide to make changes you will have to start over. I recommend you to use the power of layers. Once you get comfortable with layers you will get exceptional results and you will be able to modify without limitations.

ScrapbookWithPDN Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Is there some way to make a collage of 5 images in a row without using layers? Thanks! Hi, hope7, may I ask why you would not want to use layers? I only ask in case it has to do with not feeling comfortable to use layers.

racerx Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Giving each layer a unique and identifying name helps a great deal when you are working with multiple layers. Double-click on a layer to bring up layer properties where you can change the name among other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScrapbookWithPDN Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) 311 I'm not good with layers. Thanks everyone, will tackle again with layers. Hi, hope7, I remember the days when I wasn't sure how to do some things. I still have a lot I want to learn with PDN, too, and I'm trying this time around. I JUST completed a website for anyone wanting to deal with digital scrapbooking using PDN. I, literally, just finished it and I made it specifically for those who are NOT techie or use to dealing with image software, intentionally making it targeting those people. I don't know if I'm allowed to post the link and just delete it if that's the case, with my full understanding to those who can, but maybe it will help you make learning about layers a little easier? Maybe make it seem less confusing or intimidating? If so, here is the link: http://pdnscrapbooking.wix.com/scrapbooking I got the inspiration to make that from toe-head. hope7, where it says "MAKING A LAYOUT" is pretty much where it starts. I also offered a pdf for downloading in case it is easier for a person to read something setting next to their keyboard instead of flipping back and fourth between windows, websites, and software programs. Don't give up, yet, hope7. 321 Edited October 16, 2015 by ScrapbookWithPDN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymaster8 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi folks, I'm new to PDN and would like to learn how to make a collage-up to 8 or 10 photos using layers, with different size photos. I would appreciate all the necessary steps I would need to do this. Any one to help? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hi Flymaster8, welcome to the forum! The first thing I would do is open each of the photos separately and resize them to a similar size and save with a different name, (to avoid overwriting the originals).To resize, use the 'Image/Resize' (at the top) and give them the same d.p.i. (dots per inch)- normally 96 d.p.i. for screen or 300 d.p.i. if printing.Then open a new Pdn file (File/new), make this much bigger than your largest photo.Then use 'Layers/import from file' to bring each image in on a new layer, they can then easily be moved with the move tool. When finished first save as a Pdn file (so you can re-edit it later), then flatten and save as a .png or .jpeg file.By the way pressing the F1 key when Pdn is open will take you to the documentation which has useful explanations of how the layers and tools work 1 Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

Flymaster8 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hi Red ochre, thanks for your post:) Am I opening the photos separately in a new Pdn each time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Am I opening the photos separately in a new Pdn each time? No! Once you have created one bigger Pdn file you then import each image into that file but on a new layer. The way to do this is by clicking the 'Layers' button at the top, then clicking ' Import from File' that appears in the drop-down list. Hope that helps!... it's much easier than it sounds.
