open a new canvas and cut & paste your images onto it (you can change the opacity and use the feather option to make your collage more interesting...) use your layer menu to select which layers you want to work with. when you're done, merge the layers down, or flatten your image. then save your image as a jpeg.

p.s. the best way to learn photoshop is to use the "help" option. I taught myself this way. its really easy!

sometimes its better to choose creativity over studying -- its good for the soul as well as the mind. your collages are amazing and inspiring, cosette. now I want to do some!
