@Major Paul the link provided by @Sameer K will send you to a 404 error page. I'm guessing that Sameer was sending you to this page which provides information about the Photo Collage Creator. However, it seems that you already know about that feature and you want to know how to create a collage with more than 8 photos which is the limit.

Sameer may have been pointing you to this HelpX Article which provides more general advice about creating a collage in both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. However, I believe the instructions only work in Elements if you have enabled floating documents in Preferences. If you have not enabled floating documents, Elements has an even easier method for creating a collage:

After creating the new file, open all your collage documents in the Editor. Then simply click and drag the photos from the Photo Bin to the new file collage document. You can then resize and move the images around in the collage.

make a bunch of shapes on Page-- circles, squares, what ever. Create a cliiping mask for each shape. Let me know if you want more help.

I only used two images for this. The "grey areas" between squares is an optical illusion. I often slap up a bunch of background images to try them all out--- only the topmost one will show thru. I often turn all the backgrounds off, and turn them on one at a time.

Hey, @11868558! Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll clarify this for you.

You can also select photos in Elements Organizer. A maximum of 8 photos can be selected to create a photo collage. Please head here to learn more: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/using/making-photo-projects.html

Thanks!
