YOU ARE MY HERO. I am not EVEN KIDDING!!! Thank you so much! I SO prefer to do things on my computer than my phone. It drives me craaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy having to do everything on that tiny device in my hand. LOL
lol...me too, girl! I don't mind doing SOME things on my phone but resizing photos and such is not one of them...my fingers are too big for all that pinching and pulling...lol
Thanks, Janice...and the text being printed for me is such a welcome addition...although as of late, I have enjoyed including my handwriting more and more.
You are so welcome...I'm glad we all gave you a little different information so you can choose what will work best for you...that's all that matters in the end :0)
I always forget about picmonkey for this. I collage photos and print them from my phone 99% of the time and this is good to know for the few times I do need to do it on my computer. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been trying to figure this out and have not been able to! I’m a visual person & have not been able to understand the written directions that I have found. You explained it so wonderfully! I’m so excited to be able to do this now! Thank you again for taking the time to explain this!😁👍🏻
@@scrappinkaty I finally got myself the Epson PM400 and love the quality I'm getting. I started using Pic Monkey on my computer to size photos as I wish. I made one that was 2.5x3.5 but when I sent it to print, it printed a full 4x6. What am I doing wrong? Do I need some additional printer software to ensure it prints the size I want? What do you use to send your photos to the printer? TIA!
@@hoodie427 your printer, once you send the photo to print, should have settings/properties that tell it #1 the size of the photo paper you're printing on(4x6) and #2 the size of the photo you want to print (3.5x4.5)....or at least mine does 😊
@@scrappinkaty It doesn't seem to, unfortunately. The Epson printer app for a Windows PC isn't compatible with Epson PM400 and I can't seem to find a good app that allows this type of specifiation. What do you use to send to printer?
Good question! When you click on the photo well - you are able to "scale the photo" and that will allow a bigger white border. I usually trim off any white that prints and just mat it with white cardstock so I haven't used that feature that much. HTH!
So glad you liked it! So I use a google Drive, Amazon Drive, External Drive and download to my desktop and my laptop...probably overkill but I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.
Hi Katy, this was so helpful, I haven't heard of Picmonkey before. Looks pretty easy, but I do have a question - when you say go to the Hub - I don't know what that means. What is the Hub...is that where your photos are stored? Thank you!
Yes ma'am...the Collage feature automatically has borders...otherwise, you can add a museum frame and make sure mat color is white. That's using the paid version...not sure about the free version though. Thanks for watching!
This program looks like just what I want for my computer but I can't find the free version except for the trial. Can you tell me how to get a free version. Thank you.
I'm sorry I misspoke. I've been using PicMonkey forever (and paying for it for almost that long) and I didn't realize that they made their "free version" where you couldn't save and download your images. Depending on how much you scrapbook, it might be worth the fee. Otherwise, my friends Jayma & Erin have other programs they love but they show you the app, not the desktop version. I've linked their videos in my description in case you want to check those videos out and see if that will work better for you. Thanks for watching...good question!
Use the app I showed in my video...they save as 4x6s - you can wait until your favorite photo printing place has a sale or if you have an HP Printer at home, sign up for Instant Ink through HP and you could print them as low as 5-cents depending on which monthly plan you choose....that's what I use for all my late-night photo-printing or for when I need to edit a photo or enlarge. HTH! Thanks for watching!
Hi, I was referred to you by Erin about Picmonkey. I am trying to figure it out and with your help here, I was able to get some help. You were VERY GOOD at explaining it. I do have a questions. Can I upload many pictures all at once from my computer to work on in Picmonkey? I don't really want to upload one by one. Thanks in advance
So glad it was helpful! Yes...you can upload as many as you'd like - there should be an option to upload (looks like a cloud with an arrow going up) to your hub. I have MANY FOLDERS and MANY PHOTOS in each folder (I have the paid subscription though...do you?)
@@scrappinkaty I don't have the paid subscription. Is it necessary do you think for my purpose of just uploading and printing my fotos taken to scrapbook them? Also do you have a system showing the ones you have already printed on your computer?
@@virgietime2scrapagain79 I don't think it's necessary but I've been a paid subscriber for so long, I have no idea what you get with the free version anymore (so sorry). I have a system for trips or extended layouts - I have a folder that I move them to when they're scrapbooked. For 1-page layouts, I sometimes use photos that were scrapbooked elsewhere (let's say a photo of me and my daughter at Christmas might be in our Christmas layouts but then I print it again and scrapbook how much we look alike...things like that).
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! Soooo helpful!
So glad it will help you! I use it all the time.

I'm so glad it was helpful 🤗
Thank you!! Incredibly helpful!
You're very welcome! So glad it will help you printing those smaller sizes.
Love this and how you showed adding text as well as photo sizing!
Thanks, Janice...and the text being printed for me is such a welcome addition...although as of late, I have enjoyed including my handwriting more and more.
Thank you, I am so thrilled to find the photo resizing videos and programs to use today from you, Erin and Jayma. Very useful.

I use may app all the time too but from my computer, I don't have to remember ratios...plus I like the bigger screen.

Great tutorial, Pic Monkey looks like a great option when printing from the computer.
I use the app all the time too...it's nice to not have to worry about print ratios...lol

So helpful! Just created a PicMonkey account and tried the collages - your explanation was so clear I was printing 2x2's in minutes! Thank you.
awwwww...that makes me SO HAPPY to hear that it worked for you...thank you so much for watching AND updating me on you using my tips :0)
Awesome Katy thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much for addressing the 2x2 issue for me! Can't wait to start my printing journey. But how do you get white borders with this program?
Good question! When you click on the photo well - you are able to "scale the photo" and that will allow a bigger white border. I usually trim off any white that prints and just mat it with white cardstock so I haven't used that feature that much. HTH!
This is a great video, thanks. How do you keep backups of your photos? Do you save to flash drive, google, etc.?
So glad you liked it! So I use a google Drive, Amazon Drive, External Drive and download to my desktop and my laptop...probably overkill but I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.

So glad you liked the video! Yes...the "hub" is where all your work is saved in PicMonkey. It's a storage of sorts....sorry for the confusion.
Thank you 😊
I hope it's helpful!
Thank you
You're so welcome! I hope you found some tidbits you can use!
Thank you for showing it on a computer, I don't like doing it on my phone.
so glad it helped!
thankyou for sharing Im going to play around with pic monkey :)
So glad you found it helpful! Enjoy playing!
Thank you so much Katy! This is so helpful, just one question, can you put a border on the photos with Pic Monkey?

Great tutorial but I wish you would come to my home and show me one on one how to use it!
I'd LOVE TO...maybe one day!
@@scrappinkaty Sounds like a great idea some day.
How to print multiple small size photos I mean around nth number of pictures we need in a scrapbook so please tell me the cheapest way to do
Use the app I showed in my video...they save as 4x6s - you can wait until your favorite photo printing place has a sale or if you have an HP Printer at home, sign up for Instant Ink through HP and you could print them as low as 5-cents depending on which monthly plan you choose....that's what I use for all my late-night photo-printing or for when I need to edit a photo or enlarge.

What is a hub?
it's basically your "account" in Pic Monkey. Do you use Pic Monkey or Canva?
