One of the most fun thing to do with photos is to create a collage. Photo collage allows you to tell a story using photos in any way you want. In this tutorial, we’ll teach you how to create a collage, which a pile or stack of images arranged either regularly or randomly.


Steps to create a photo collage in Photoshop


1. First of all, open Adobe Photoshop. We are using Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 but this also works on earlier or later versions.
