Thanks to both, I installed both products, Adobe Illustrator as a free 30 day trial version, but has all the features. So, my question is, how do I set the size to 5x7 and 8x10?
I'll explain this the best way I can, so hopefully you'll understand this. It's easier to understand if shown visually, but if you can follow along with written directions this will work.
When you open the program you'll want to click on 'new' this will pop up a menu with your template size. type in 8x10. once you have the collage set as a 8x10 you'll want to select all the photos and hit 'ctrl' + G this will group all your photos as one object.minimize out of that window and hit 'new' again. this will open up another box, which you will set to 5x7. when that template pops up, click 'ctrl' + V. this will paste your collage from the 8x10 template into the 5x7 template. You'll probably have to shrink it down a bit so it will fit right, hold the 'shift' key down while grabbing a corner of the selected items, this will make it smaller with out distorting the image. then move it around till it looks right in the template.
be sure and save your progress as you go along, so you don't lose any of your work.
Then to export the photos, you'll want to click 'export' and in the 'save file type as' box click 'JPEG'.
If you have hard time figuring it all out, I'd still be happy to put one together for you. It took me a long time to learn the program. they give you 30 days in the trial, but about the time the trial expires your just catching on. lol.
Hope that helps you!
