How many photos will Elements put into one photo collage? Is it dependent on paper size?

It seems that the guided edit process is limited to 8 photos.

I don't use this guided mode, only the expert one, where you don't have any limitation.

The newest layouts are interactive, letting you add or delete photos with the templates updating instantly. The sizes are fixed e.g. for Instagram, Facebook etc. but you can create a custom collage. I have a couple of videos that may help.

Hi 99Jon,

I have watched your videos and you seem to have more Portrait Collage Templates in PSE 2019 than I have in PSE2022. I only have two whereas you appear to have four Portrait templates?

Also you say they are interactive. You can certainly delete a photo but I cannot find how to add another. There appears to be a strict limit of 8 photos?

I have tried making a custom collage template but having problems with the Clipping Mask not being retrained by the stroke outline of the boxes. I have posted on this forum for some help with this.

Many thanks for your tutorials on YouTube

@FozzieBear, the number of templates available depends on how many photos are in the collage. With 8 photos (which is the maximum for the Collage Creator), you only get 2 Portrait choices. With 6 photos, you get 4.
