Made it in Photoshop. Saw the tutorial in What Digital Camera mag. Good magazine for advice on taking photos and PS techniques, not just camera reviews.

It’s easy to do although time consuming as each rectangle is a new layer and lots of measuring and deciding what size and where you want each aperture to be.

I started with a 10x8 black background.

Using the guides, place one on every side a quarter inch in from the edge to create a border. Then in new layer draw a rectangle from the inside edge of the border in a corner (here is probably the best place to begin but you could place it anywhere along the border guide really) and fill with white, put guides up to the edges of the white square. Pull out more guides and set them a quarter of an inch away from the other guides. From here create another layer and the second rectangle and fill with white again, continuing to set guides at quarter inch. It's important you make a new layer for each rectangle. When the page is sectioned up into all your different sized rectangles you can then add a photo to each layer. Select copy and (paste into) each photo into each selected layer. Move the image around to position and transform scale where necessary to make fit. Delete the original white rectangles as you go.

Now I want to see your montage on here asap Juley. :thumbsup: :luck:
