Whether you’re preparing for an upcoming wedding celebration, family reunion, employee picnic, or anniversary party, any event becomes even more special with the addition of a photo montage. It’s so easy to rent a projector and showcase your clever montage – read on to find out how you can get started now.
Gather the Images
The first step in creating your montage involves collecting the images you’d like to use. If the images are already in digital format, you’ll be finished in a jiffy. If you’re using physical photos, you’ll need to digitally scan each photo before you can assemble your montage. If you don’t have the time or technical skills to manage this step, there are many services who can do it for you (including the photo centers at most drug store chains, like CVS and Walgreens).
Know Your Platform
Next, you’ll want to choose which software or service you’d like to use to create your montage. If you’re using a PC, Microsoft Publisher or Windows Movie Maker offer a fast and easy tool for creating a montage of photographs. If you’re on a Mac, you can use iMovie or iPhoto to create your slideshow in a snap. If you are already familiar with PowerPoint, you can even create your slideshow using the PowerPoint application (in either the Mac or the PC platform).
Alternatively, you can use an online service like Smilebox.com or FunPhotoBox.com, which allow you to import your photos and create a montage using their pre-loaded templates, music and more.
Set It to Music
The next step involves choosing music for your slideshow. It’s easy to tie music to your montage using any of the above-listed software applications or online services.
