This topic would be of interest to active local guides, especially those who use photos liberally in their posts.
If you are not aware, LG Connect has a limit of uploading 1000 photos.
After that, you are forced to remove older photos to be able to upload new ones.
Some technical experts have found out a workaround by way of storing photos online and inserting them into an LG Connect post by use of under-the-hood HTML coding. This is more of a hack than a solution and there are several steps involved in that but it works.
You can explore making a collage from multiple photos which is a more elegant solution in my opinion.
Besides that, you get an opportunity to try hands at various photo and image handling techniques and present photos in various graceful and distinguished ways.
There are various collage making tools available online and also programs that can be run on a desktop computer.
I am not aware of any tools for the Android or Apple platforms nor would be discussing any here.
1. Collage Maker Online
Searching for this phrase on Google found me a simple website called photocollage.com
Right off the bat you can drag photos from Windows Explorer and drop in the browser to create a collage instantly.
The photos can be dragged around freely on the canvas, resized using handles, and also rotated.
In the auto mode, the photos line up quickly in a matrix form.
It can shuffle photos randomly and also allows swapping two photos.
Apart from this, various interesting stickers and emojis can be inserted into the collage.
Finally, the collage can be exported as a JPG or PNG.
2. Picasa
This is a discontinued product from Google in favor of Photos.Google.com but I still have this installed on my desktop computer.
Select a folder in the left side pane where all photos to create the collage are located.
Under the Create menu select ‘Picture Collage’.
This is a super-smart tool in that it arranges the photos in a layout showing more important photos bigger and less significant photos in a smaller size.
The grid can be inserted automatically and its width controlled on-the-fly by dragging a slider.
3. Paint.Net
This is a free tool and a great combination of basic photos editing tools from Adobe Photoshop and simple vector tools from Illustrator.
Everything needs to be done manually to create a collage so you have more power and control over the final layout.
Besides this the properties like brightness, contrast, hue, and saturation of just a selected portion of a photo can be modified.
This imparts a great balance to the overall composition and appearance of the collage.
If you are not much of a fan of collages or find it not worth the time spent but still want to limit the number of photos on LG Connect, a quick trick would be to simply line up the photos one below another to create a single photo.
Paint.Net offers quick keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+R to resize an empty canvas or create more space on an existing photo.
Open any of the photos below in a new tab or window and note that this is a simple and single composite image that gives the look-and-feel of 3 images inserted one below another.
Remember that the first photo collage in your post is displayed in the preview on the main page.
So to display it correctly make sure it has a size in the proportion 16:9 like 1600x900 or 800x450 and so on…
The net effect of using a collage is that compiling 5-6 photos into a single one effectively raising the photo limit in LG Connect to 5000-6000 photos which is incredible.
You can further upload these to Photos.Google.com and as illustrated in this tech tip article further save even more numbers.
In the next part of this article, I will show you a couple of more simple and efficient methods of storing photos online and linking from there hassle-free into an LG Connect post.
Until then… Happy Guiding
