Actually, for collages.... Feathering?
The polygonal lasso tool usually works fine as long as you use straight lines, it usually ends up fine. There's supposed to be a lot of overlap so... -shrug- You don't really notice. But you could use the pend tool. Just a suggestion. |

Not the regular, that is too tough. But the polysomething that Reili said. That's perfect.

I use the pen tool. I get better looks with that.
And why feather? I thought feathering was for the blending sides of things? |

Uh, if you feather with a polygonal lasso tool on a collage, then technically, it wouldn't be a collage. It'd be a blend. =\
I just use the polygonal lasso. If you're getting jaggedy edges, check if your "Anti-alias" is checked (it's next to the feathering px on the toolbar on top). |

You need to select the 2nd pen option, instead of the first.
The ones on the left. |
