Specifically I want to make a collage of many pictures. For that purpose the software should be able to handle many large pictures, and align them relative to each other (snap center to center, etc)
I’d like to avoid having to do it in libre office if at all possible.
Is there anything like that?
Scribus is an excellent libre desktop publishing program.
I used to write a small postcard game for the “Wish you were here” jam, but it is suited to any job up to professional level.
Also, PosteRazor is great for printing a large wall poster from multiple smaller sheets(A4/A3 etc).
GPL3. Has an online version and a downloadable version.
Paint.net if you’re on Windows.
despite being a good paint editor for Windows, it is unfortunately not open source or source released (I thought it was as well):
However, citing issues with the open source code being plagiarised by others that had rebranded the software as their own and bundled user content without their permission, the availability of the source code was restricted
In November 2009, the software was made proprietary, restricting the sale or creation of derivative works of the software.
To be fair to the guy, I’m not even mad. There aren’t many freeware programs that good and that ethic.
Scribus ❤️
If you plan on doing it on a regular basis, you might want to try latex. This is going to be hard on the first one or two poster but on the long run it can save a lot of time…
Inkscape maybe?
