12 x 12" Paper and FotoFusion: A Great Combination

[Jason Dunn]

Since installing and reviewing v4 of FotoFusion (http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,12290), I've been really enjoying using it to create photo layouts - it's amazing how quickly I can whip one up, and it's equally amazing how quickly I can remove frames, resize them, and keep them locked into the grid so everything is clean looking. I ordered some 12" by 12" matte paper from an eBay seller a few weeks ago, and I decided to combine the two: creating a photo layout with FotoFusion and printing it out on the 12" x 12" paper. Here was the result:

This is such a fantastic way to create a unique, great way of remembering an event: I'm hooked and I suspect I'll be printing many more 12 x 12" prints in the future. I printed up several of these and gave them to a few of the people involved, and they all loved them. Scenarios such as this are when I feel I'm most successful with technology: when I can take useful software, a bit of photographic skill, a nice printer, and create something that people can cherish for years to come. That's when technology works as it should.

Real sweet!

This piece of art of has convinced me to download the trial. This one is a powerful collage compared to the "Hellooooo Sailor" one in the review. :-)

Up until now I was surviving on flickr.com and bighugelabs.com's mosaic tool. It cannot generate print worthy stuff but used to work for my main need. I usually end up creating a collage which is roughly 800 x 800 pixels and then put it on my desktop as the wallpaper (usually off-centered for a more dramatic effect) with black background.

Isn't 12 x 12 is the standard size for scrapbook pages? This has gotten to be a huge fad in the US. The scrapers of the world would love this format and method of quickly creating pages.
