Photo Collage

Jeffrey04 — Tue, 21 Nov 2017 07:21:29 GMT

I remember I used to be able to put two or more photos together in an image file with the photo editor with my Z5. However, the feature seems to be gone in XZ1, can anyone confirm this?

Are you sure that it wasn't something like Snapseed app? Or Sketch?

I remember it was a part of the photo editor, or something you can click from it to open the tool

Actually, I thought @Jeffrey04 was referring to the functionality provided by Movie Creator... Specifically, the "Highight Movie" feature. As I understand it, Google Photos also has a similar feature (to the "Highlight Movies").

Or are you guys referring to something completely different, @Bhonder?

Jeffrey is right. I checked my old Z5 and there is the function of which I'm posting a couple of pictures.

It is called "Style Portrait" and has some apps ranging from the aformentioned collage to varius face masking. The apps, once downloaed, are album's photoeditor's plugins.

I could have used it a couple of times, now that I'm thinking about.

Here is the link in the app store, but it's not available for XZ1: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.android.addoncamera.styleportrait

It followed the same path of Music's app "Podcast": silently abbandoned...

Here the screenshots.

Obviously you guys are talking about something different then... And that is a dead link for my Xperia XA1 Ultra, too.

Would one of these applications be a suitable alternative to this "collage" functionality then?

Pretty sure I didn't install anything to enable that functionality

On Z5 those plug-ins where part of the standard installation.

You should write to support and ask for the reintroduction of that functionality.

Yes collage is gone on my XZ2 too and SO disappointed, why, I use just that one often

I don't like that XZ2 haven't any headphone jack either! 😣
