Photo collages

nigelh22829705  wrote I use Photoshop elements 11 & Windows 10. When I try to create a photo collage, I get a message 'Valid size not available for this creation'. Does anyone know how to get round this problem?

Yes.

Do the math and figure out how many of your pictures will fit on the paper that you will be using. For best results, crop the pictures to specification. Once you have done this, do the following:

1. Go to File>new>blank file. Enter the height and width of the paper, and resolution in the 240-300px/in range. This will be your canvas.
2. Open Picture #1, go to Select>all, then Edit>copy to put it on the clipboard
3. Go back to the canvas from Step #1, then Edit>paste
4. Picture #1 will come in a separate layer.
5. Activate the move tool, and position picture #1
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for the other pictures. Each one will come in on its own layer.
