Photo collage app/website?

[8bit]

Looking for an app (Windows or Mac) or a website that can generate collages from existing photos. This is to be used for printing so must be able to accept fairly high resolution source images and output suitably high-quality stuff also. Easy to use would be great I have Lightroom and Photoshop already but if there's a simple way to do this with those I'm buggered if I can find it, and my Photoshop skills are rudimentary at best...

I don't know, are they? Never used either, hence looking for recommendations. Looking at the Adobe one just now.

I would use Photoshop, with each image that you are adding to the collage on a separate layer.

Is there a way to ensure the images are all aligned correctly, e.g. snap to other layers/images or just a grid?

Probably, I'm not on a machine with Photoshop, but you would want something like this: https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/using/alignin...

If you're assembling squares or rectangles all the same shape, just set the canvas the size you want then add all the images. Easiest if you resize them to the required pixel dimensions first. PS does snap but I'm not sure how you set it up. You can always zoom in to check.

NB You say it must be hi-res because it's print, but if the final size is A4 you don't need mega-res to work, not least because each image is now quite small.
