💡 Tips and Tricks

Uniform Image Sizes

Ensure all images are of similar dimensions for a more appealing collage. You can use the Image Resize function block before this step to standardize image sizes.

Using Flags

For better visual clarity, ensure that the lengths of the flag list and image list are equal. If a flag list is not required, simply omit this input.

Experimenting with Sizes

Test various sizes using the slider to see how the collage layout changes visually. This can help you find the most aesthetically pleasing composition.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Image Count and Flag Count Mismatch

If you encounter an error stating that the image count and flag count must be equal, ensure that both input lists are of the same length. Adjust accordingly to resolve the issue.

No Images in Collage

If the output collage is empty, verify that the input image list is not empty and contains valid image data.
