Title: Photo Collage for Print Module?
Post by: rhynetc on October 12, 2014, 12:55:39 pm

Is it possible to construct a photomontage or collage which has free rotation of photos (to angles other than 90 deg) and free overlap of photos?  So far all I've found are layout options which allow multiple photos but fixed rotation of 90 deg and some overlap options but no free rotations.

You may find it much easier to create you montage in Photoshop and than print it from LR. You could create a smart collection of the images, adjust them in LR, assemble in PS and then soft-proof inLR and print. Assembling in PS also allows you to add text if you wish.

+1  My exact workflow.  Works well.

To answer your LR question, yes you can overlap images using the the Custom Package (NB: no layers and so no blend modes), and no, you can't rotate them other than 90%.
