I agree. I use GIMP for this, creating the collages as multi-layer XCF files, which makes it easy to substitute/hide/move individual images. But I frequently create collages of up to 20 or two dozen images, which is maybe rather beyond what the OP was asking for. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
