i never messed with photomerge either, its not bad either, looks like i’ll be a combination of a few things. Photomerge as you say i think is more designed for stitching, not really for montages, as each picture is different it struggles someties to get a nice crossover between each pic.
as previous stated you can’t beat your own brain, but hopefully now what i learned in the last coupld of days will save me a lot of time on somethign which i don’t get paid extra for anyway.
thanks again to all the contributors.

for the life of me i can’t remember the name of the program, but i am sure i have seen somethign around. I have seen several from googling but seems collage is a wide term and not always meaning pics blended into each other.
Does anyone know a plugin to do this? What has sparked this is, ms have release auto collage maker, its really good although in its present form a little limiting.
Anyone know of a plug that does something similar on photoshop?
I use bridge, select 3 or more pix, then tools, photomerge. Best using interactive, then you can have some control of the result. Or you can use photomerge directly from PS.
photomerge is more of a Stitching type effect
it will match up frames edges to make panoramas
and it is fun to use
you could place your images in there manually for a start of the collage
I don’t name that a "collage" though
I made all my collages by manual techniques in Photoshop using multiple images masks and layers adding brushworks etc
simple collages with 2-3 images

I took this with my own snapshot camera –no tripod as an experiment for stitching
I had not used it before
