    Hi,

    Anyone out there know how to create a collage look, or know of any tutorials or articles on it. I want to build a collage effect with several pictures and backgrounds. The pictures need to be blended, not sharp edges, just as if it’s a collage.

    Thank you in advance.

    Import each photo, and drop each into your main collage composition. Draw a mask on each layer, cropping/masking each photo as desired. For each layer, hit MM to reveal the mask properties, and adjust the mask feather to taste. Scale and position each photo as desired.

    You could also then apply the ‘roughen edges’ effect and adjust to look like torn paper. Works great against the edge of a mask.
