Step 1: Create your document

Open Photoshop and create a new canvas by pressing CTRL + N or go to File > New.

Set your canvas to 8.5 x 11 inches with a resolution of 300 pixels per inch.

Click Create when your settings are configured correctly.

Step 2: Add your images

Find a group of your photos that you like. You will need 10-20 photos in all.

Select one photo and drag it onto the Photoshop canvas and press Enter.

Step 3: Position your images

In the sidebar on the left click on the Move Tool.

Move the picture to the location where you would like it to be.

Adjust the size of the image by performing a Transform. Click on the image with the Move Tool and go to Edit > Transform > Scale then drag a side or corner. You can maintain the dimensions of the image by holding shift while dragging one of the handles.

Press enter to apply the transform.

Step 4: Feathering

In the toolbar on the left select the Lasso Tool.

Click and hold to drag a circle around the portion of the image that you would like to keep.

Go to Select > Modify > Feather and set the Feather Radius to whatever works for your image.

25 pixels is a good starting point. If that doesn't work for your image you can always undo.

Step 5: Remove excess

Now select the inverse by going to Select > Inverse to select everything except what you drew the circle around.

Press delete and the feathered area will disappear leaving a smooth transition between the two images.

Add images to cover your canvas.

Step 6: Repeat

Repeat steps 2 through 5 to add images. Your entire canvas should be covered.
