what's the difference between a photo montage, mosaic, or collage?

Question

I want to be able to take 30-50 picture and stitch them all together (equal size, no overlap). Any suggestions?

What software do you recommend for making a montage?

Answer 1

A photo montage is a photo essay. Originally, photos were cut up and pieced together to make a story. Sometimes the artist/photographer would take another photo in order to display the cut up photos as a whole. Of course today we can do this quickly and easily using digital cameras and software. A mosaic is generally made up of small pieces of tile, glass or other objects. Once the pieces are placed in a pleasing design, that can also be a story, grout is smeared into the places between pieces in order to get that sensation it is one, whole unit. A collage may consist of a variety of items from newspaper and book clippings to photographs and other found objects that are glued together to form a whole. All three methods thus have one goal: to create a unified image that conveys a message.
