I am really bad at combining photos into a collage so I wonder if someone here would be willing to help me create a nice collage to be printed in A4.

The collage is for the Harris Hawk trainers in our zoo, I want to give them a cd with my photos of the Harris Hawks in low resolution but I would also like to give them a print of a nice collage to put an a wall.

I would really appreciate if someone would help me with this.

What photo editor are you using? I assume it's something like Photoshop.

What I've done in the past is to make a blank page with a dark background. I then select areas of the photos I want with a feathered edge and paste them as layers in the new document. It helps a lot if all the images as well as the new one are the same DPI.

You can use the move tool to position the pasted image, and use the erase tool to blend it with underlying layers.

I've only done this for photos of dancers, where the image background is dark, so that's why the bottom layer is a filled black. Your images may look better with a white or different color background.

Here are some links with other techniques:
