Creating a collage with Photoshop is easy, so let's get it right. Respect that I work with Photoshop CS3.

The choice of photographs may be of great importance. You need to choose such a combination of elements in the collage, so that you can imagine the whole podium. This means that you need to take a few great stars to show the whole scene, and a few detailed photographs to show rich textures and special features. Without quiet others, the story will be uneven and it will not be possible to convey quiet emotions, as you can convey.

I see the priority either to create symmetry in the layout, or to make it look like a puzzle. Somehow it seems, for your skin history, use your own.

Croc 5. Give space to images

If the layout is ready and the photographs have been added to the visual space, you can create a thin line between them, to add a little bit of visual space. This crop is not obov'azkovym, and the width of the various smugs can be similar to yours.

Sobbititse, choose the ball of the image, which you want to move, it speeds up with the arrows on the keyboard, to break yoga in different directions. The choice of arrows on the keyboard replaces the bear to help create the same space between photographs.

As an alternative, you can add them in and twist the Style to the ball (choose Outline > All in), adding a white or black border to the skin image. See screenshot below.
