this is probably a pretty amateur question....

If you have software which supports layers (PS, elements and others) the easiest way would be to create a new layer for each image, drag the original images into thier new layer and use a transform tool to resize and move the images to where you want them.

If you have lightroom I think you can use the print module to 'print' to a jpg so you could use that to create a layout with all the images you want in it and then print it to a jpg to get your final image.
 
What software are you using? Photoshop or even Photoshop Elements does this easily. Not keen on those over exposed images though! :)
 
im using cs3 and as well i have lightroom
 
First increase canvas size to the size you'll need to fit the photos on. This way you can keep the individual photos at their full size keeping all the detail. You will have a larger file size, but better quality than squashing 6 photos into the size of one of them. You can resize if needed, but a high res will be better for printing.
As said above, copy each photo to a new layer and move around as needed.
:)
 
Open CS3. Go to File > New
Width say 2000
Height say 1600
Click OK

A white box will open in Ps. Click the Restore Down tab on this document (top right) so it is smaller on the work space.

Step B. Now open each image (press the Restore Down tab again so it doesn't take up the whole work space) and with the Move tool selected, drag each image onto the White document. then press Ctrl+T to then resize (Transform) the image by dragging the corner handles. IMPORTANT to remember to hold down Alt+Shift while doing this.

Repeat Step B

when all images are placed and set how you like it, flatten the image and finish off with the crop tool.

Hope this helps

Get the exposure wrong (overexpose by around 1 stop) and then pretend it's what you wanted ;)
 
Some images suit over eposure and some don't :)

im a little new to the photoshop end of things so if it could be dumbed down a bit that would be great lol! if not, im still enjoying reading all the replies lol. the guy who took those shots is a pro here in winnipeg canada and is VERY self absorbed. he started a forum much like TP (no where near the size though) which was great, its good for the city, gets shooters together, etc but he will let you know, everytime, that its "his" photo community. even on his website, you can read more than a handfull of times, "in my photo community i started..... blah blah blah". i was kicked out of that forum because i was meeting up with 2-3 other members randomly and going out shooting. it wasnt brought to his attention that these meets were going on and he should have been notified because technically it was through "his" forum. he also boasts about having over 3000 members, id say half of these "members" dont exist.

Professional can have a few meanings.
