Check out My Janee. She has tons of good tutorials, and as a beginner I learned a lot from doing her stuff :) http://myjanee.home.insightbb.com/tutorials.htm - Noel

To make a collage, open up a new document and open the images you want to use. Use the move tool and drag each image to the new document. Or if you only want parts of each image with faded edges, do a selection of part of image (with the feather set to whatever fade edge you want), drag the selection with the move tool to the new document. Each drag to the new document will make a new layer which you can then move around.

Your welcome. You can also reorder the layers in the layers palette the way you want. Just click, hold and drag a layer in palette down or up to new position.

that's awesome, i've been playing around with it and have one more question, if i may be so bold? how do you get things to center up, is there any kind of snapping available in photoshop? thanks again for your help, i truely appreciate it!!!! eb

Yes there is. If you have 2 or more layers, click on 1st layer to select it (in layers palette) then click on the box to right of the eye on the other layers (to link them). With the move tool selected, look at top menu. You can align top, center or bottom (vertical) or left, center or right (horizontal). There is also a distribute alignment.

Another way is to do it.

View > Rulers
View > Snap
View > Snap To > Guides

With the move tool drag down a guide from the top ruler and/or drag a guide from the left ruler. Drag an image close to guide and it will snap to it.

Instead of guides you can snap to grid.

View > Show > Grid
View > Snap To > Grid

I'm a Photoshop addict. Been at it for years. I still keep picking up new ways to do things. There is always more than one way to do whatever is needed.
