Make it possible to move pictures within their frame
The program crops images to make them fit their "window" within the collage. I want to be able to move the picture within this window. This lets me fix things like cut-off heads.
Maybe it is possible to allow zooming, too.
It does not seem easy to me to implement this. If you want to contribute, feel free! :-)
Any chance that one of either Merge Request will be used/merged to get this feature someday in the near future? As for portait collages it would be pretty helpful to be able to move the attraction of the photo-part to the portraited face(s).
@Blackskyliner thanks for the reminder! Let's follow this up in https://github.com/adrienverge/PhotoCollage/pull/46
Seems to me this issue could be closed, however the README was not in line with this very cool feature (I missed it!). See pull request https://github.com/adrienverge/PhotoCollage/pull/54.
Thanks, I was wondering how to move photo inside a frame.
Trying ctrl button does not work. but I just accidentally drag the pic with mouse and it works with installation via pip, because in debian it still 1.4.3-2.
this is the feature that I really need, thank you so much :)
Which release is with this feature? I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and I couldn't find. Even with the disco version It doesn't work. I was very happy to found this little application that can be use as replacement of photoscape.
If I run photocollage normally this functionality does not work on my machine (Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon, python 3.8.10) but to my surprise, while trying to find out why, if I run it from vscode's terminal with "python3 -c 'from photocollage import gtkgui; gtkgui.main()'" (as mentioned in the "hacking" section) it just works. I can move the pictures within their frames as intended. Does anyone have an idea why? PS this is a nice piece of software, thank you for this.
@FZill The answer may well be that you have two different versions installed: the packaged one by your distribution (most probably 1.4.4, the latest release) and the cloning of current working state of this repository. There have been some updates in-between.
Ah you are absolutely right. I uninstalled the packaged version and installed the current working state and now everything is fine, thanks.
Summary:
- Latest version supports moving images within their frames :tada:
- The description of this issue also mentions zooming images within their frames.
I suggest that we close this issue as completed and create a separate one to track "zooming images within frames". (Or we could change the issue title to include "zooming").
