Three Favorites -
I was only playing around with the handy image collating program, trying to see what there was about the program that I could learn this evening. To accomplish the "trying to see" part of that stuff, I loaded the program and brought three images into it from one of my photo files.
I loaded three photos that had, as their subjects, three of my favorite things, to wit:
My bride from several years back (actually 63 years ago); a crazy, flexible-neck flashlight given to me by a friend because both he and his wife believed the flashlight was crazy like me; and an old Canon digital camera that I like to carry around in its carry case hanging from my belt.
I like the look of all of them here, and I hope that you might also enjoy the look of the three of them as a colorful collage.
The computer program is named "Collage Plus," and it is available as a freebie download from "SourceForge" dot net.

Your bride's a beauty. I remember those crazy flashlights, never did get one cuz I didn't see a reason to spend money on fun stuff at the time.
I prefer Excel to do all that on, I paid for it so I know it was safe when I downloaded it ..... I just don't trust all those web freebees

@rebelann - Yes indeed. I did not often develop my own rolls of color film, but I wanted to try it out. As I recall, the part of the developing process was the requirement to reverse the process after a while by exposing the already processed color film to a very bright light. That was back in Year 1953-54 or so. Used to develop my black and white films all the time back then, too, but color films only several times. -Gus-

@rebelann - Sure enough. That gal was so good looking to me that it was like putting a matched set together back then. Bye-the-bye - I believe that she threw the snowball at me after I made the photo... and the roll of color film on which the picture sat was the first color film I ever developed on my own - actually in my mother-in-law's kitchen sink using one of those little developing tanks. That was a long time ago. -Gus-

@pgntwo - Friend PGN - "pootling" - Why is it that you tend to disturb equilibrium and peace so often? "pootling" Now I have to look up what you mean by "pootling." I suspect that it probably means "to dump 1/4 pound of black pepper into your bowl of oatmeal gruel.

@shivamani10 - Glad you liked the images. The items and my bride are truly favorites and made for some fun testing of the program and of some of the things that the program can accomplish. -Gus-

@responsiveme - Friend ARM - That is a snowball. At that time we lived in the northern part of New York State. We now live in the southern part of Texas. -Gus-
