4. Start choosing your photos
You can now browse through all of your albums and start choosing your photos! Click through to any of your Facebook photo albums and click “Select” on any photo you want. This will automatically store these photos into your design gallery.
5. Mix & Match
So, you have chosen all of the photos you want in one particular album, but you really want to add some more from a few different albums. No problem! Just click on “Albums” near the top left of the screen and you will be taken straight back to all of your albums and you can continue clicking through and selecting more photos. Our design system will show you how many photos you have chosen from each album and you won’t lose previously selected photos if you go back into another album.
6. We’re quicker than our competitors
Continue mixing and matching photos and albums until you have as many as you want. You don’t need to upload anything with the Bags of Love design platform as it takes care of the uploading process for you; it really is very clever. All the photos you select from your Facebook albums are automatically stored in your design gallery and these can be added to or removed as you wish.
7. Design time
Once you have finished selecting your photos, click back onto the “Albums” page and click the blue “Create montage with (however many number of photos you have chosen) images”
8. Decisions, decisions…
Now it’s time to add your images and the finishing details to your product. Here, you can choose the design and layout of your photos. We have 5 photo montage designs ready to choose from, including; plain with no background, photo frame, scatter, plain heart with no background and framed heart. You can also choose the “do it yourself” option and create your own montage design by following the on-screen instructions.
9. You can still make changes
Even when you are at this stage, you can still add or remove photos, if you want to. Click on the blue “ADD/REMOVE photos” button and you will be automatically taken back to your photo gallery, with all of the photos you have chosen for the design. Once here, you can either remove images you no longer want or you can add more photos by following the same steps above.
10. Almost there
OK, we’re almost there! Once you are totally happy with your photos, the design and the layout you can click blue “Add to Design” button. Now you can preview the final design and how it will look.
