In this tutorial you will be learning how to do basic photo edits. We will go through how to crop a photo, combine two pictures, and how to add borders to your photo. I used Pic Collage for most of this, so make sure you have the app!
Step 1: Go to Your Photos

Click your photos and for those who do not know it the rainbow flower.
Take Your Pick

Step 3: Click 'Edit'

Adjust to Your Liking

Combing Pictures

The app I used is Pic Collage. Once you have the app click it.
Start From Scratch

After you go to Pic Collage, click 'Start From Scratch'.
Photos

Now click the addition sign and the click 'Photos'. Then pick two pictures you want to combine.
Grids
![image.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F2S/JEYG/INHOO9SK/F2SJEYGINHOO9SK.jpg&filename=image.jpeg)
After adding the photos there should be an icon that looks like building blocks. Click it. It should give you different grids to choose.
Choose Grid
![image.jpeg](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FOV/9XM4/INHOO9WD/FOV9XM4INHOO9WD.jpg&filename=image.jpeg)
Pick the second grid that has two rectangles. That is the grid you should use.
Borders No More!

Hold the circle on the blue line and pull it back. That will get rid of the borders.
Finish!!!
