Can anyone recommend a photo montage tool or script for photoshop to quickly and easily create a photo montage like below ?

I have always used tych panel in the past which is free and excellent but as always it no longer works with the new version of photoshop ?

Unfortunately I don't have a recommendation for Photoshop, but do you have Lightroom?

Howsabout using the 'Print' module in Lightroom, then 'Print to: JPEG File'.
Once it's been configured and presets made, it should be fairly quick and straightforward.

Apologies if you've already considered and dismissed this option, hopefully someone will be along with a far superior solution.
 
Is it today's version of Photoshop it doesn't work with?

It worked fine for me with latest 2015.1 not tested 2015.5 version yet but sure it will be updated if they've changed something.

Please don't apologize - I really appreciate the suggestion but I don't use lightroom

Yeah its today's release (2015.5) - Hope its sorted soon really easy plugin to use. I get the error below when I try to install :(

Yeah tested it and get same error, it's only been out a few hours so sure it will be updated when developer gets a chance. In mean time you can keep 2015.1 and 2015.5 installed at same time. I usually don't update major versions until all these sort of issues get sorted.
 
The Author says you have to manually put the scripts into the correct folders but Adobe are aware of the problem and are working on a fix,

Go to the authors twitter site to read info.

Thanks yeah I did tweet him last night so maybe it was in reply to me..... I''ll try to manually do it but on his site he says " IMPORTANT These instructions are intended for Photoshop CS5/CS6/CC. For Photoshop CC 2014 or later use the installer script."

that tweet's a year old and relates to the 2015.1 release. At the moment best course is keep 2015.1 on system for tych and anything else that ends up with bugs, it's popular script I'm sure it will get updated in time.

Yeah I just noticed that tweet was a year old :(

Yeah looks like the older photoshop for me..... :)


Actually how do you use the old version ?

I found the folder under Adobe but there is no executable in there just a few random files ??

I tend to use a stand alone program FotoFusion, it seems to work for me. In your case I'd try adding the script manually (don't know if you've tried that)

I have not seen any automatic tool yet in Photoshop for this purpose! I guess you already know this still sharing here, Photoshop has given such option only https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/create-collages-montages-photoshop-photoshop.html

Thank you - that could come in handy but a long winded way :(

Not heard of FotoFusion - I will look at that.

I am not sure how to add the scrip manually to be honest. I did try but it would not work
 
OK managed to get it working by manually copying files installer would have done..... not as pretty (no icon in panel menu to use) but it works under file- script so very happy :)

Oh sorry hope you have solved this problem already in other way.
 
It works great now with no problems. You just download and install from file - script - browse and find the file. Its really good but although it's free please do donate to help the developer out

Good to know, I'll try it out again tonight.

Yeah, I dropped him/her a few quid last time I downloaded the newer version.

So my advice for manually installing was correct then?

Yes it was correct and thank you.... (y)

I found some instructions on the website were it listed exactly what the installer did so I just copied it. It worked but not quite right - as in a bit long winded to access it compared to normal.

I emailed the developer and its all working as it should now
