Despite being an Ubuntu user for many years, for several years I have been using Picasa on Windows to make photo collage grids of my photos.

The process for doing this is to select either a folder of photos or a number of photos and press the "Create Collage" button. The photos are usually arranged by date taken (which I prefer), but this can be changed by manually rearranging them. The results look like this:

Is there native software - i.e. doesn't require Wine or run in a browser - with a GUI (for easy editing) available for Ubuntu that can make collages in the same way?

    I'd argue that it isn't as I'm asking for a specific type of collage, which neither of the programs mentioned in the answers to that question can actually produce Jan 8, 2013 at 22:56
  • Yes, on further thought you are correct-I'm interested in the question too and have found out that those programs mentioned in the other question don't do what you want.

GIMP Plugin

There are some plugins for GIMP Install gimp available which should do the job.

Personally I only have experience with the Image Grid Layout plugin which merges several images into one based on a predefined grid layout. As an alternative you may try Index Print which also allows sorting by date.

  • Image Grid Layout does the job, though I imagine it'd run slowly with several hundred images open. Do you have installation instructions for Index Print? The ones on the website are vague. May 22, 2013 at 22:11
  • sorry no, I did not try Index Print - too vague ;)
