Need help creating "Collage" to uploaded to my listing

[maxmawi]

Time ago using "picasa" was very easy creating "collage" and save it on my picture folder to upload it to my listing.

Now "picasa" is gone and GTC urge me to create my listings with variations to save on my allotment.

I have Google Photos and found how to create "collages" but I can't find the way to save it to my pictures folders and upload it to my listings.

Any help? 

Any program, app., or something easy to work with?

(I am not too savvy on computers- just basic - Please give step by step. I'll appreciate it!)

I use collages in most of my listings that I create in Corel so I understand what you are trying to accomplish.  That having been said I'm somewhat confuzzled why you feel a need to save on your allotment for variation listings.  Now I'm not a variation pro, so let me put that out there right now, in fact I believe I only have two that I've created because they are somewhat confusing to me, YMMV.   But I'm pretty sure that you do get 11 or 12 pictures PER VARIATION.  This means that if you have 10 items in the variation, I'm pretty sure you get 110 or 120 pictures.

If I'm not correct, I'm pretty sure that someone on the board will be more than happy to come along and correct me.

Correct - but OP is most likely trying to do a collage for the gallery pic.

The save on allottment thing would be 1 MV listing with 26 variations vs 26 single listings = more 'freebies' left free to use.

That would make sense, but she stated she was doing so to save on her allotment.   Her allotment is HUGE and she doesn't need to do it for that reason.  The gallery picture, now that's another story.

  Because of gtc they are doing variation listings to save on their allotment...their listing allotment, not on their picture allotment.

If you have a smart phone you can do a search in your app store for collage maker. I use one called Layout but there are many to choose from. You can save to your phone or email them to yourself to save on your computer.

Exactly!!!!

I have many similar listings with items that have different variations, such as color or size,  that I want to re-list in one single fixed price listing that includes all the variations  for no additional fee.

Exacty As @myjunqueyourtreasure  said:

"The save on allottment thing would be 1 MV listing with 26 variations vs 26 single listings = more 'freebies' left free to use".

Personally, I'd prefer "26 single listings" but the automatic relist of my unsold listings is consuming the allotment of my 'freebies' and the relist is hitting my pocket ($0.10) every time.

eBay don't give us the option to select the day of the relist. It should be every first of the month or adjust generously the allotment for the different stores

Which is one reason I keep hammering the blues about having MV available in WAY more categories than they now have = )

I would LOVE MV in my category, but not to save on listings.
