In fact, I keep learning new things it does. You can start with a template and add or delete cells to your liking. I have a feeling I still don't know everything it can do! And one of the beauties is that you can drag/switch images around, something you CAN'T do in PhotoScape.<br /><br />Every time we go to England and are out-n-about, away from the big tourist traps, we fall in love with it. Just like the Netherlands! We are so lucky to be so nearby.Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-88376253584776395982012-07-30T22:24:10.384+02:002012-07-30T22:24:10.384+02:00WOW... what a marvelous adventure you had this pas...WOW... what a marvelous adventure you had this past visit to England... I'm glad to have traveled along with you visually and only wish I could have been there in person! Once again, a marvelous group of collages... a veritable feast for the eyes!<br /><br />I'm going to have to try, try again with PicMonkey, if indeed, you used PicMonkey for these collages. I wanted to create one similar to your first and second ones but didn't succeed. I'm sure I must have failed to drop the images in the correct order to accomplish the task!Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170129859014155605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-37872043181332720242012-07-21T08:38:52.977+02:002012-07-21T08:38:52.977+02:00Carola: Yes, I agree.
