Creating Movie Theater Poster-like collage with Elements 2

[maxasst]

My child and her classmates won a play competition and I want to create a

collage that looks like a poster from a Movie Theater. There were only 5 of

them in the play, so I was thinking of individual photos across the bottom with

small captions superimposed on a background photo with the whole group. There

will be two sizes of pictures 4x6 and 8x12. I only have Photoshop Elements 2

on my computer. Can it be done? Is there free software that can help me

achieve this? Thank you.

Elements 2 will do this. You can create layers for each individual photo on the poster. Start with a new blank file in the size you want, and then just start placing photos on it.
