What Software to make a 'montage'

[Chillimonster]

Morning.

As part of my 365 i'll be producing a nice set of books for my other half and my mum, but i also want to make a large (A0?) print of the entire 365.

Whats the best software for arranging all of the prints on the 'sheet' ready for sending off to be printed?

Ta!

Dont have photoshop

I do have GIMP / PSP X2 / Lightroom though.

Is it just as simple as specifiying the canvas size and then moving the images to suit?

Yes make your new image the size you want and paste your photos on it if you want to make it different over lap them and you can put drop shadows on them as well

Fotofusion is a good piece of software too

I'd check out the latest version of Picasa too (it's free). It has a Photo Collage function which enables you to lay out selected photos either automatically or user defined and is very easy to use.

In combination with its new face recognition feature you can create some interesting montages for individuals or families!

None that i can think of at the moment.

But what i'm after is basically a poster that will show all 400'sh pictures from my 365 project.

Check with the printers you're planning on using too as they may require a "bleed" area around the image which will mean you'll have to make it bigger than what your print is actually going to come out as.

Maybe this is what you're after Shape Collage - I think its great (and its free!)

Another interesting bit of software to play with - thanks
