Ok...you sound likek you just want something cute and nothing elaborate - just like 4 a profile or binder cover or something. So i am going to give you a very simple way to do this on Microsoft Word!!

Make 4 textboxes of the same size and set the picture as the fill on the text box or just put the picture in. for the last one - make the fill a solid color and type in your words.

adust the four text boxes so they are next to each other the way you want and look like one.

you can set the textbox to no border or adjust the border size and color 2 look cute

ta-dah!!!

Download picasa, off google or another server.
Its no way near as good as photoshop but its easier on there.

There are really obvious settings, one of them being 'merge the picture' of something along those lines.

Hope this helps. x

mac apple, check your iphoto options,

you could do this in paint, by making new blank background and then open new window with images, then copy and paste to blank, resize and move,

I do not believe Picassa is available for the Mac. iPhoto will also not do this. You are going to have to face the fact that you need the proper tool for the job. Photoshop Elements ($99) will do what you want very easily.

Well, no, the program will not do it by itself,... YOU still have to make it happen, but photoshop will give you the CAPABILITY to do what you want. Far too many people think that just because they have some kind of software that anything they want to do is just a button push away... (NOT saying that is how you feel).

Get Elements and you will have what you need to learn to do most anything you want with your photos now and in the future.
