How to make a collage template in Photoshop

Here is a quick tutorial on how to make a collage template using layers.
First go to File----click on New
The screen below should pop up.
Enter the size of photo or template you want to make.
Here I put in a photo size 8 x 10



Now travel to the left side column and find the rectanglar tool


Make the rectangle the size of the whole photo


For the first small collage photo, make another square on top the the big photo where you want
See in layers column how it made another layer for the new square

Do the same for the next squares. Each square will eventually hold a photo in it.


Now you can see I have four layers, I big square and 3 little squares

Now click on the layer with the big square

Go to File-----click on Place


Choose a photo for the large square


Resize photo to your liking
Now go up to Layer
Click on Create Clipping Mask
Move photo into place


Go to Layer 2 with your first small square
Go to File----Click on Place



Add photo for first small square


Go to Layer
Click on Create Clipping Mask
Move photo into place


Repeat for Layer 3








Click on Layer 4
and Repeat exact process 







Now you are ready to Flatten and Save

  2. Click on the Background Layer. Then right click and hit flatten. You can also go to the top of the page where it says Layer and scroll down to where it says "Flatten Image"
