Vincent, Congratulations for this wonderful idea. Just a question: I made a heart shape with pictures from my co-workers. I wonder if I can use it to participate in a contest to promote Diversity in the Workplace. If I win or that “heart picture” is posted in my Institution Web Site I will not get any economical benefit, just a congratulation. Please let me know if I am allow to send the picture to the contest. Gloria

The license that you get when you upgrade to Pro does not expire. There will be some free upgrades included, but future versions may not be included (this hasn’t been planned, but if there is a significant change and a lot of major new features added, then this may be the case).

If you want more advanced custom shapes, then it is better to create the shape in an image editor like Photoshop, in which case, you can create the custom shape in the right dimensions and then load that shape into the program.

Ah, Just one suggestion:
When drawing a custom shape itz would be nice when the canvas is the same as the choosen dimensions of the collage…
E.g. when I want to make a custom shape on a 1920×1080 wide screen…..
The custom shape canvas is still a rectangle one…..
I wanted to make a custom shape so that I had a wallpaper where the pictures would be only within a drawn border of my choosen size of the collage…..
I hope I expressed it right…

Hi Vincent !
I just wondering what di I get when upgrading to the Pro version.
Is it a Lifetime License ?
Or do I have to pay again when ShapeCollage comes to version 3.0 or above?

Sincerely
Stephan

Vincent, I just noticed v2.5.3 just popped out.
Could you keep a more formal changelog ?
This one seems almost a photocopy of the previous …

thanks again for the good work

Click “Custom Shape” as the shape and in the pop-up window, click “Load”. You can also drag and drop the image mask right into the custom shape area. You can see a demo of this in the help video:

How do you import image masks?
