Creating a Collage With Photoshop

The tools I used to create this collage are very basic and can probably be found in most versions of Photoshop (I would think).

Photoshop Elements 5.0 let's you create a wide variety of frames that you can wrap around your pictures and then you can use the free transform tool to rotate, resize and position the pictures in the collage.

It'll be easier if you edit all your pictures before you place them in your collage. Basic editing should almost always start with cropping. This will allow you to improve composition and to eliminate distractions.

In Photoshop, click Artwork and effects>frames>professional. I chose 35mm, slide and snapshot. Feel free to experiment. The combinations are endless.
