Aileen, I just had my photogrpahy class make collages as a photo essay with images they had taken the week before.

First, open a new document the size you want the finished file to be. For instance, make the file 8" x 10". Also, select the background color. My students used a black background for the most part.

Now, resize each image you want to place in the collage keeping in mind the overall size of the background document. Copy and paste each image onto the background. Each will be on its own layer. To move a particular image, select its layer. Remember, layers above other layers in the palatte will be above those lower down.

Let your imagination guide your design. Have fun.
