Step 3: Add Pictures

Add pictures to your collage. Once you add pictures, TurboCollage will randomly select a center picture and lay the rest of the pictures around the center picture.

Step 4: Set Your Center Picture

Although TurboCollage selected a picture to set as the center, you may have a specific picture you'd want to place in the center.

Click the picture that you want to set as the center picture to select it. Use the Set selected picture as center picture button to set the picture chosen as the center picture.

If you want to make the center picture larger or smaller, use the Resize Center control shown in the screenshot below to resize the center picture. TurboCollage will re-layout the images around the resized center picture.

Step 6: Shuffle Pictures around the Center Picture

Now that you've set your center picture, shuffle pictures around the center picture to get a fresh arrangement for your collage. Do this multiple times until you get a result that you like.
