Hello,

So I have an idea to make a collage of flags in the shape of a mushroom cloud.

I have a couple hundred flags that I can use, but how can I make the collage without placing each flag manually?

Thanks!

The easiest way I can think of is to first create your mushroom cloud shape and save the path. Next, just paste in the pic of the flags, then dupe those layers, cut out some, move other around, until you have a simulated group of flags. But, if you want 100 flags individually, then yes, you have to place them one by one.

Hi there..

Or you can do it quicker in a 3D software, I know this may sound stupid since this is a photoshopforum, but I had a similar issue and my friend helped me to make it in 3D studio max, it wouldn't even take time...

Hope this helps : )
