Looking for collage template

I need to create a 1024x140px image that will serve as the header for my website. The image will be a collage of several images wherein the constituent images will overlap at their edges and appear to be transitioning smoothly. Is there a free PSD template that I can download and replace my own images to arrive at my target image?

Thanks,
Yash

Eerm... And you need a template for this??? Paste your images into separate layers, then Select the layer which edge you want to fade. Then click Layers -> Layer mask -> reveal all - that'll create a layer mask for selected layer. Now select gradient tool with black and white colors and... create gradient somevhere around the edge. Try It and you'll understand how it works :)

I know the technique that is used to achieve this in Photoshop. However, if it is so common, a designer should be spared from re- inventing the wheel. That is the reason, I imagined somebody must have created a template in which all a designer has to do is replace the existing images with his own. This would save him he effort of creating layers and masks.

But once you've created it yourself the first time, you have the template. And it is vey easy to do.

It isn't really possible to create a general-purpose template - just think how many variations would be needed for every combination of pixel sizes and numbers of images.

And if there is the demand that Yashgt thinks there is, he could become rich by selling it. Right? Hummmm, Yashgt?

Anywho, my idea of a collage is certainly not an image with rectangular images inside. Shapes, blending, all that is critical.
