I am looking for Collage/Poster building software, Please help

I need some help. I am wanting to find a software program that I can use to create poster size (11x14 to 20x30) prints of photo collages. Below are two examples of ones that I made in the past using an online printing company called QOOP. They are no longer offering this service and I would like to find another vender or find the software and create them myself. Any ideas? Thanks!!

You could probably create an action in Photoshop or Lightroom that does this.

Thanks I will look in to that. I do have CS3 but am not very experienced at it.

Try PS Elements. ($50 Costco) It's very easy to do what you want. Almost as easy as drag and drop. My major editing is done in LR. I also have CS5 but never use it! It's too complex. Many tasks are easier to do in PSE.

Picasa will do collages for ya.

picasa is a decent basic collage, but it is pretty limited. that much said, you can create the collages you are showing Lightroom print module allows you to do collages like that, though it may be a little involved. the really good collage program giving you awesome options, is fotofusion, which has a free trial.

Thanks to you all for the great advice. I will look into your suggestions.

Look up foto fusion....I picked it up at a ziser seminar.

I've made them in MS powerpoint and they have turned out very nice printed on the plotter at the university I work at.

I will check into this I have used Powerpoint alot but never thought about it for collages.

You have to choose a custom size for the large dimension that you will need, not one of the default paper sizes.

haha, interesting that this gets brought up. I had to do a design poster and used powerpoint to do it x.x

A bit cheesy but it sure got the job done! Just be sure to set up your paper size before you start, and prepare for the laggiest powerpoint session you've ever had.
