Anyone got any recommendations for software that you can use to take multiple .jpegs and put in a collage on an a4 sheet but allow you to overlap them, word etc seems to keep nasty square boxes around them and not all the photos are square.....

'Imaging' comes free with Windows.

Now there was a really useful reply.

Would you care to elaborate?
As all i've found so far is that if i have say a cropped pic of a jpg when using office etc it will only work if the images are square.
say for example you have a jpg of a car, and you crop that image to remove everything else from the jpg other than the car itself, but when you try to use it in office etc it replaces the cropped background with a nasty white border.

Was a bit poo wasn't it, should have done a better job of reading your post. If you get a border in Word, right click and one of the options is for border. Or how about creating .gifs with transparent backgrounds, something like Paint Shop Pro will do this.

ptholt

ah yes transparent backgrounds, thatll do the trick tho a pain to do about 30 of them.... paint shop pro sounds a nicer option.

cheers chaps.

Paint Shop Pro will allow you to crop and paste odd-sized stuff onto an A4 sheet, without using transparent GIFs, etc.
