Do any of you have kids that made a collage for you in grade school? Or, did any of you make a collage for your parents when you were younger. Did you or they call it "tacky"? Or have any of you ever tried to put together an anniversary party, graduation party, even a 4th of July party invitation, and want to include multiple pictures showing some past events? I don't think that MS is after the professional photographer here...just the average, everyday user...who may have several needs for making a collage. Hopefully it ends up as a feature of one the the photo management packages that MS already has.

"I think...referring to how tacky it looks when you slap a bunch of pics together, fade the edges and call it a collage."

Absolutely, "mum". Thanks for putting it together better than I did.

"How is it for you to judge whether a series of images or a collage has or lacks soul when the images presented were examples?"

I think he was referring to how tacky it looks when you slap a bunch of pics together, fade the edges and call it a collage. And he was right.

OK. I must admit I'm being a little hypocritical by posting this, but I thought this was relevant considering that Paul usually does not write about Windows Live stuff. (I wonder why.)

Windows Movie Maker is finally being moved out of Windows to join Windows Live Photo Gallery and other Live applications:

@scooby:

OK. I think you mean the output of the software has no soul. At least, that's my understanding from reading subzero's post. I guess it's all relative. Some people think hip hop and R&B have soul. I don't.

@scoobyclub,

How is it for you to judge whether a series of images or a collage has or lacks soul when the images presented were examples? To you, a third person that has no clue what the images mean or represents, it would come off lacking any true meaning. Its like being presented a map with no legend, few topographical details or any kind bearing.

On the otherhand, to the person that has an invested memories, persons, places, or event attached to a collection of photographs, a simple collage may have tons of meaning which you might never understand. Its to easy to look at something and dismiss it. Perhaps with the right storyteller to give the images some meaning which creates the emotional depth. Its very easy to look at something and dismiss it. Its like looking at photographs from an era passed and it lacking any social or cultural relavence to 2008.

I think this is a great tool for personal use to create things for family. Perhaps a really good professional that can stitch these images better. However, without understanding what these pictures mean, I really don't think its for me to say that it lacks soul or not. I wasn't there. IMO.

Software with soul. :-)

Haven't heard that one. I understand music and art having soul, but software? I don't know about cars either.

Something seriously weird going on here cause

A) I can't see any posting by Lindy on this thread.

B) I appear to be first to use the word "soul" in this thread.

C) It's hard to know where you draw the line between whining and criticising.

Whatever...

Scooby

Lindy was the one saying the software "has no soul" and since I addressed the message to Lindy, why did you think it was about you?

I trust you'd have the same to say about all autogeneration software and would say the same if it were called iCollage since you, at least, looked at the demo (if not the actual software) before whining about it not fitting your taste.

God Mike you really are unbearable and speak like a true blinkered technologist. Try reading a post instead of thinking how can I spin this to give MS credit. I clearly refer to the pictures and talk about "soul" not "a soul".

Music can have soul, cars can have soul, art can have soul etc... and I clearly state that I am talking about the pictures it creates not the software. People who truly like collages would hate this as it takes the creativity out of creation.

Read, understand then comment instead of just commenting FFS
