Photoshop CS4 Tutorial to Make Collage Photo
Step 1
In this tutorial, I use a free stock of jo: in the park photo from obyvatel-stock.xchng
Step 2
Make a rectangular selection in the size that similar with common photograph size. For example, I use 2:3 ratios for this. If you want to know how to do this, I suggest you to read the Make Fixed Ratio Selection tutorial first.
Because I feel that the collage photo will looks more nicely if the picture is rather disorientated, so in this Photoshop tutorial I feel like to rotate it. Not the picture that I will rotate right now, but it is the selection. Selection can be rotated by right click on it, with any selection tool still selected, and select Transform Selection (alternatively you can also choose from Select > Transform Selection).
Rotate it and press Enter to commit.

Can you just stop with these tutorials? All you’re doing is encouraging amateurs to add tacky and tasteless effects to their images, and that’s how ugly digital art is made in batches and batches nowadays.

If you are going to make a tutorial, don’t leave parts out! After following this, I was left with a white space under the sections that I marqueed.

Al: If it wasn’t for the amateurs adding tacky and tasteless effects to their images, no one would know how good the rest of you are. So you guys just go on producing your wonderful art and leave the rest of us to being able to make you feel superior. OK? Everybody’s gotta be somewhere. BTW, where is your tutorial located? I’d love to learn how to do stuff like you do.
Bob: ::I don’t think a pro slaves over his computer trolling tutorials.:: Evidently Al does. How does that work? He certainly isn’t busy making tutorials for us tacky amateurs.
