Photo Collage Freeware Review - Picasa 3
Picasa is the flashy and functional free photo management and editing software which allows you make collage from templates. Although I expected better organization and searching capabilities from a Google property, Picasa is excellent for beginners and casual digital shooters who want to find all their pictures, sort them into albums, make photo collages, and share with friends and family.
Picasa 3 also lets you make photo collages and post photos to the online web album directly from Picasa on Windows computers or iPhoto on Macs. Picasa 3 is one of the best picture collage maker on the market, especially it's freeware.

How to Use Picasa to Make a Photo Collage
When you first run Picasa, it finds and sorts all your pictures into albums based on existing folder names. This may sound good in theory, but it's not very useful if you don't already have descriptive folder names. If you're just starting with digital photography, it's fine, but if you have a lot of pictures already, you may need to make adjustments. Well, you have photos for making a collage from premade templates. See below about how to make a photo collage using Picasa 3.
Step 1: Enter an album or create an album & import photos.
Step 2: Select photos by click-drag or use SHIFT-click.
Step 3: Go to "create/picture collage" and select collage template.
