One of the headings on the Photos for macOS feature web page on apple’s website lists Collage. In fact it is the third feature in a heading listing other common features like resize, crop, and zoom. So my question is how do we use this feature? I cannot find it anywhere? Does it require a third party app that works as an add on? It must be possible some how, otherwise why would apple list such a feature?
MacBook Air
The quote seems to be from this page for the current version of Photos: macOS - Photos - Apple
Browsing this page on the Wayback Machine I can see, that the text about "Warp" and "Collage" has been added sometime between June 2018 (https://web.archive.org/web/20190601100228/https://www.apple.com/macos/photos/), where it is still missing and May 2019, where it is already mentioned (https://web.archive.org/web/20200501094632/https://www.apple.com/macos/photos/). It coincides with the introduction of photo editing extensions, so it may simply be a very ill-phrased description of the power of extensions.
The preview of Monterey is mentioning collages as well, but not as part of the Photos.app as a printable collage: macOS Monterey Preview - New Features - Apple
Collages are offered for messages and memories:
Photo collections
Enjoy multiple photos as beautiful collections in your Messages conversations. A handful of images appears as a glanceable collage and a larger set as an elegant stack that you can flip through. Click to view them as a grid and easily add a Tapback or inline reply.

Memories: Fresh new look
Memories has a fresh new look including animated cards with smart, adaptive titles, new animation and transition styles, and multiple image collages for a cinematic feel.*
For the collage or warping you need third party photo editing extensions like Pixelmator. I have not yet seen a native tool in Photos to do this.
I am usung the work-around to create a slide in Keynote, when I need a collage.
Unless it is coming in Monterrey, I suggest you send Apple feedback and tell them that it is *not* a current feature of Photos.
However, you can use Pages pretty easily.
While calling it a "collage" is pretty ambitious, you can print multiple images on a page.
They might be generously referring to the People view and the college you get when you double click on a particular person.
Collage in MacOS Photos app?? It’s a listed feature.
