The Photo Layouts flyout has several collage and layout options. Place your photo into a prearranged template, such as Photo Packages, Group Photos, Comic Book Pages, Photo Albums, Posters, and Edge Effects. Each category offers many template styles. The Collage options allow you to create a collage of several photos or parts of photos. Interesting results can be obtained if some of the images have special effects or edits applied prior to the creation of the collage or layout.

If there are no photos loaded into the Library, they can be individually loaded after the photo layout has been started. To load photos into the layout, select Add Photo from the File menu.

To find the tools:

1. Click the Projects button on the Navigation panel.

2. Select the Photo Layouts flyout.
