Do Collages on Samsung using Camera

Ever wondered if your camera app on the Android system does more than just capture or record individual moments in time? What if the camera could transform your snapshots into interesting collages with the touch of AI (artificial intelligence)? Actually, it is doable thanks to "Single Take".

It records the space for up to 15 seconds, captures the various moments in the video and turns them into collages, cropped shots, boomerang clips and so forth with a touch of the camera's AI. The short end of the stick is that AI decides which moments to take randomly and there is no collage editor as there is in the Gallery app.

Curious to know how? Here is how to generate random collages:

1. Open the Camera app.
2. Tap "Single Take" mode.
1. In case it is not available on the main page, check whether it is available on "More" or not. If not, the feature might not be supported by your Android device.
3. Tap "Shots to Capture ≓" in the top right.
4. Make sure "Collages" are selected and tap "OK" to save the settings.
5. Tap "Record".
1. Press "Stop" to end the photo-taking process before the timer runs out. 
2. Select +5s to extend the capture time by five seconds.
6. Tap the Gallery thumbnail or directly open the Gallery app to view the Single Take format.
7. Tap the dash (long horizontal bar) or swipe up from there to see all the created shots.
8. Tap and hold the "Collage" to activate the additional menu.
9. Tap "Download" to save the collage as a separate file in Gallery and Internal Storage.

Make Collages on Samsung using Third-Party Apps

Staring at your Samsung device, eager to find a way to turn your photos or videos into excellent collages, but finding no sign in the Gallery or Camera app? Well, the only remaining option is to install a third-party app from the app market either Google Play Store or Galaxy Store. 

1. Open Galaxy Store or Google Play Store.
2. Tap "Search Box".
3. Type "Collage Maker" and search.
4. Download a third-party application that is secure.
5. Open the collage maker and follow the instructions on the screen.

Edit Collage on Samsung Created from Gallery

Before delving right into explaining what can be done with the collage editor, it is wise to say that it is only available for collages created from Gallery. Unfortunately, collages created from the Camera are automatically detected by the AI making it more useless compared with the former option. 

Once you have followed the steps in "Create Collages on Samsung using Gallery", the collage editor is opened to customize the appearance before saving it to the internal or external storage (SD Card). 

Edit Layout: Add New Visual Items & Change Layout

Add Items

Provided that you have not inserted a maximum of 6 visual items into the collage, tap "+" to add additional items. By the time visual items are equal to 6, the "Add Items +" button will be disabled automatically by the system itself. 

Here is how to add additional items to the collage:

1. Make sure the "Layout" menu is opened.
2. Tap "+" (Add Items).
3. Select the visual element(s).
4. Finally, tap "Done".

Change Layout

Felt like the pictures or videos need a little something extra, just like rearranging the pieces of the puzzle? If you are not satisfied with how the current layout looks, use the "Shuffle" button to add a bit of randomness, select a preset layout to find the best fit or adjust the borders on your own.

Want to know how to do them? Here is how to shuffle, select preset layouts or resize on your own:

1. Make sure the "Layout" menu is opened.
2. Select the layout style.
1. Tap "Shuffle ∞" to rearrange the visual elements randomly,
2. Tap "preset layouts" to find the optimal layout that matches visual items, or
3. Tap directly on one piece of the collage, tap the resize handle (yellow dot) and drag it up/down or left/right to make it small or large.

Adjust Ratio: 1 to 1 to 16 to 9

Layout only changes the size of the visual elements within a determined border. Do you want to give your collage a various visual perspective like making it more rectangle or square? 

All Samsung users have the power to reshape the collage's aspect ratio, going beyond the default 1:1 frame to a cinematic 16:9 frame. 

Curious to discover how to unlock this creative dimension? Here is how to adjust the ratio:

1. Make sure that the "Ratio" menu is opened.
2. Select the desired ratio:
1. 1:1: A square aspect ratio, or 1 to 1 ratio, denotes an equal width and height. It is presented squarely on social networking sites like Instagram.
2. 9:16: In a portrait aspect ratio, where the height is greater than the width, the ratio is 9 to 16 ratio. Vertical videos or photos on social media sites like TikTok and Instagram stories frequently use this aspect ratio.
3. 16:9: A landscape aspect ratio is one in which the width is bigger than the height, such as a 16 to 9 ratio. Computer displays, television broadcasts, and films frequently use this aspect ratio.

Modify Border: Change Roundness, Margin and Colour

Add a touch of colourfulness to your collage? Adjusting the roundness and margin of the border is accomplishable with the built-in collage maker in Gallery. Other than that, picking the perfect background colour to make it truly yours is possible as well. 

Ready to unlock? Here is how to modify the roundness, margin and colour of the border:

1. Be sure that the "Border" menu is opened.
2. Use the slider next to "Roundness╔" in order to decrease or increase the roundness.
3. Use the slider next to "Margin ▣" to adjust the margin of the collage.
4. Use the preset colours or "Colour Picker" to pick the background colour.
1. The easiest way to select the colour is using the "Swatches" or "Spectrum".
2. As long as you are familiar with HEX or RGB codes of the colours, do not hesitate to use those too.

Rearrange Collage: Replace, Remove, Edit and More

Is that all? No way, there is more to the story. In addition to all the aforementioned features, there is a set of handy tools to replace, remove, edit and zoom in/out visual contents in the collage. 

Eager to explore the remaining ones? Here is how to replace, remove, edit, move or zoom in/out:

1. Tap directly on the piece of the visual puzzle in the collage and make sure it is covered with a yellow line which corresponds to the fact that the visual element is selected.

Provided that you see Internal Storage / DCIM that means it is saved to your Gallery and to the folder with the same name as the path directory in the My Files folder on your Samsung device.
