@Karey – very simple. To create the white placeholder images go into any art program, create a square with a similar resolution to your photos.

For example maybe an 1800 x 1800 square in white at 300dpi (or any color that matches your efforts.)

Then save it the needed number of times and, import those squares into Picasa.

Another trick, one of those squares could contain text, to title the life poster collage. Send us a link to your work when it is done! Happy collaging.

[...] Blogging is a pretty cool way to write my syndicated column. Recently other peers in MSM (Mainstream Media) and the blogosphere have been taking notice of Techlife. Our recent brush with the paparazzi came a bit more literally. “Popular Photography and Imaging” magazine and it’s sister publication “American Photo” magazine each have a blog. In a recent post on the blog PopPhoto.com| FLASH they wrote about the DIY project How to make a LifePoster with Picasa article. They added this great idea: [...]

Basically you click and shoot capturing at the moment in time and from your angle.

@Harrie – Picasa is limited right now. The resolution can only shrink from 1600×1600. There are no settings to increase the size. You might have to look at some of the other LifePoster options.
