The collage software is only $25 ($45 commercial) and works great if you add tons of images. I thought it could make a nice large poster.
When I found out what collage I was actually being asked to make, just 6 images, I opted to do it manually in GIMP instead. Since Photoshop likely has the same options with different names, I'll repeat the steps here:
1. "Open as layers". Lets you choose a bunch of files, each opened on a new layer.
2. For each layer, resize layer, move
3. Move layers up and down to achieve wanted sorting.
4. Once vaguely laid out, for each layer rotate a bit.
5. Choose a nice border color as my background color, increase each layer's size by a few pixels (6 in my case), and offset by 3 (to center the images).
6. Choose each layer and filter/drop shadow, next layer, repeat filter.
7. Add a background layer with a gradient, and voila.
It was more work than pressing 'make collage', but you sort of need control of placement when dealing with just a few images.

Conropl, Dave thanks for all of the effort and the tutorial,

Wow, great edits David! When I look at the total collage I feel that "color" is definitely there :)
Great idea Ham! If you would have enough photos with 1 specific color popping out, you could even make a photo out of all small photos. I have seen that before and it
5. Choose a nice border color as my background color, increase each layer
