Collage

A creative technique of arranging multiple photos or images on a single canvas to form a new composite work.

A collage is a technique of arranging multiple photographs or illustrations on a single canvas to create a new visual composition. Common applications include travel memory compilations, product comparison images, and grid-layout social media posts.

The fundamentals of collage creation involve selecting a layout pattern and adjusting individual image sizes. Three main styles exist: grid (equal divisions), freeform (unrestricted placement), and template-based (fitting images into predefined frames). Consistent spacing (gutters) between images creates a polished appearance.

Pre-sizing images with the resize tool before assembly streamlines the workflow. Unifying the color tone of each image through color grading produces a cohesive final result. After completion, export in the appropriate format for the intended use.
