FE690: Collage the Dog: Creating Photo Collages in Photoshop

Course Details

​I have been creating photo collages for my clients for almost 20 years. Learn the Photoshop tools and techniques that I use to create these keepsakes and apply them to make your own. The great thing about collages is you can make them with ANY subject, not just dogs! You can make a collage of your family photos or birds or wildlife or other pets -- if you can photograph it, you can collage it.

Collages can be created with photos from any source, from DSLR's and mirrorless cameras, to cell phone cameras, and even scans of old photographic prints!

Teaching Approach

Due to the nature of the subject, this is a class delivered primarily via demo videos. Videos will have captions. There will be some written lectures as well.  

Students can expect 1-2 assignments per week.

Prerequisites & Supplies

View all Prerequisites & Supplies

All lessons are created with a current version of Photoshop, but the tools we will be using have been around for a long time and will exist in many previous versions of Photoshop.

Gold students are required to have Photoshop (not Photoshop Elements or other software). If you are using a version of Photoshop that pre-dates the Creative Cloud subscription, you will probably have all the tools, but I will not guarantee that my keyboard shortcuts or menu items will match what you have exactly. You may have to utilize other resources to "translate" between Photoshop CC and whatever version you have. 

Collages can be created with photos from any source, from DSLR's and mirrorless cameras, to cell phone cameras, and even scans of old photographic prints!
