PSP Collage Help

[flashygram]

I have been using PSP 8 for some time now for scrapbooking edits on my digital photos.  I have always been able to figure out how to do what I want but this is a BIG problem for me.  I want to make a photo collage.  I have read the instructions. Tried it many times and have always screwed it up.  I even got a tutorial from Jasc and still can't master it.  I just seem to alter my original pics.  I think I don't understand each step and about vector and raster layers.  Is this going to be impossible for me or can someone direct me step by step or tell me where to go to learn this?  hanks in advance for any and all help!!

I'm not into arty stuff but don't you just cut the pictures out & stick them all on one picture?

f you cut & paste one photo on top of another it looks like that's what you did.  You must use a separate layer for each photo and then somehow use a mask to get rid of the part of the photo you don't want to show.  Then you can move them around to suit your taste and it ends up looking like one photo and not a photo with other pics pasted on it.  Thanks so much for you come-back.  I'm still open to suggestions.

It's all too much for me Flash, I'm a chainsaw kind of guy.
