Adobe Software
I’ve been doing my children’s portraits for a while now but the one thing the studios still have over me is their software that makes collages…they charge you $20-30 extra for the same sheet of paper just because they made a collage! I want to make collages of my kids myself but what is a good easy to use software comparable to the ones the store studios use?

I currently have PhotoImpact, PhotoShop, and Adobe Lightroom- but I’m open to anything.

Picasa 3 has a nice collage generator.

I would go with Picnik.com. It is GREAT and really easy. For some of the collages you do have to have to upgrade (like24 dollars a year) but for a lot of them you don’t have to. It may not be right for you but it is worth looking at!
Hope I could help!

You should have no problems creating a collage in Photoshop.
PhotoMix software is my favorite. I use it all the time. I can create a wide variety of projects with it, as well as customize it to my liking. Whether I want a crazy and fun project or an elagent and fancy project.
They also have a great selection of templates and addins (most are free). And they are always looking for more ideas.
They even have a tutorial sections that helps you if you get stuck using the program…even though the program is very easy to use. And they have a support staff that is there to answer any questions you may have.
You can even add your own pics, backgrounds, clipart ect.. You can also save your projects as photos and print them where ever you want to.
I recommend this to everyone. It is not free but it is only a one time charge and it is well worth the money…you even get free updates.

CropMom at is an onling scrapbooking and collage-making site where you can upload your photos and make them into a collage.
You must register, which is free to do. Just upload your photos, click start a new layout and drag and drop your photos onto the canvas. Move them around, enlarge them or make them smaller so that they fit on the page.
Once you’ve made your layout, click on the “view saved layout” link. From here, you can purchase the print-quality JPEG file of your layout for $1.79 and download it to your computer. Print it at home or have it printed by a photofinisher.
CropMom is easier to use than Photoimpact or Photoshop.
