| I have wondered for a long time and I was wondering if I could get some input on this. I looked up both Montage and Collage in the dictionary and I still feel so lost. My husband is a video editor and when he scans and puts together a "slide show" but with out the slides of course he calls it a photo montage. Is it a montage when it is done digitally and a collage when it is done with actual cut up pieces and parts and with out a computer? Please help I am so lost. |

A montage is an assembly or series of (largely) independent images.
A collage is a single image made up from components of other images.
It is possible to have overlap or hybrids of these, and the technique where a bunch of tiny pictures are used like mosaic tiles to make up a larger image goes in there somwhere too -- I can't remember the name for that one.

| I was in a photography class once and we learned a fun little trick that was called "montage" - take one photo, 2 stops high, then de-focus and take another one stop high. Then develop (slides) and put both the slides in one frame. Some of them came out pretty cool! |

That's the technique, though I'm not sure if that's the common generic name or their brand/interpretaion. Is that software free? Have you used it? |

It looks free but I wonder how good it is?

These are actual collages -- cut and pasted from printed pictures -- made for me by someone more talented than I ...
