Windows 11 large collage using PSE 22

How can I make a large collage of about 18 family photos about 20x30 inches in PSE 22?  I think I would try to somehow set an image size of 20x30 inches.  Then keep adding layers in various positions to create the collage?

 My ultimate goal is to order a 20x30 inch canvas print using the final collage jpeg image.

Thanks for your assistance

This is just one way, using simple shapes.  Set your canvas up to 20 x 300 inches at 300 dpi- then get started making the shapes.  If all your shapes are the same size:  make one row only, group it, duplicate that row twice to come up with 18 shapes.

Hi Glenn;
Thanks very much for the suggestion using shapes.
I haven't been successful though. I import a photo and then set up a 20x30 inch canvas around it. I then tried selecting and moving a shape onto the canvas. However, once I accept the shape on the canvas its invisible so I cant see it to insert a photo.

Also I was wondering do I only select the black filled shapes to use for photos?

Thanks,

Bob

the shapes can be any color you choose.  They are place holders when used as a clipping mask.

Yes, that would be the way to do it.  But, you may also want to find out the requirements of the printing service. For example, they may want a specific size, format and resolution. Also, consider what background and/or borders you want around the individual images.
