Hi everyone, has anyone been able to use the photo collage method from Cloudinary?  
This one → [Generate your photo collage online | Cloudinary Cookbook](https://cloudinary.com/cookbook/generate_your_photo_collage_online)

I’ve tried to reproduce the exact same example of their cookbook, adding each of the 4 images to a column in Glide and creating a template column to result in their same example URL.

The only thing I changed was the “/demo/image/upload/” to “/glide/image/fetch/”

This resulted in this URL, that unfortunately is not rendering:  
[https://res.cloudinary.com/glide/image/fetch/w\_220,h\_140,c\_fill/l\_https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/YD2OrjPKWTVqqee4oajy/pub/BLPFS1DGiNZRP7XJjDeo.jpg,w\_220,h\_140,c\_fill,x\_220/l\_https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/YD2OrjPKWTVqqee4oajy/pub/ukTLPDP2Ncz6SrXmYpRm.jpg,w\_220,h\_140,c\_fill,y\_140,x\_-110/l\_https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/YD2OrjPKWTVqqee4oajy/pub/VqzxvYcKZIatSUPumx8E.jpg,w\_220,h\_140,c\_fill,y\_70,x\_110/https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/YD2OrjPKWTVqqee4oajy/pub/k8YK1UFkMeVNztDXzpay.jpg](https://res.cloudinary.com/glide/image/fetch/w_220,h_140,c_fill/l_https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/YD2OrjPKWTVqqee4oajy/pub/BLPFS1DGiNZRP7XJjDeo.jpg,w_220,h_140,c_fill,x_220/l_https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/YD2OrjPKWTVqqee4oajy/pub/ukTLPDP2Ncz6SrXmYpRm.jpg,w_220,h_140,c_fill,y_140,x_-110/l_https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/YD2OrjPKWTVqqee4oajy/pub/VqzxvYcKZIatSUPumx8E.jpg,w_220,h_140,c_fill,y_70,x_110/https://storage.googleapis.com/glide-prod.appspot.com/uploads-v2/YD2OrjPKWTVqqee4oajy/pub/k8YK1UFkMeVNztDXzpay.jpg)

Any ideas?  
Thanks!

Hi Igor

Have a look on this documentation

You need do base64 on your url overlays when using fetch command.  
You can do that by using encode column

Make sure that you allow fetch on your cloudinary account as described in the documentation above.

You might also use auto upload instead of fetch. See below post

> Main features Upload a photo to Glide and mark it with a location Auto-upload the photos to Cloudinary Resizing and other maniputations of the photo uploaded to Cloudinary Remove the photo from Glide View all the photos uploaded - and directly sourced from Cloudinary account Photo and location saved to both Glide Table and Google Sheets Idea Photo and location is inputted to the glide table “Input…” and data are copied to “Registrations” Photo and location is then cleared from …
