I am new to aperture but reading and experimenting much. I do not see how to create a photo collage that you can print out poster size or smaller. I have used photoshop to do some. was hoping aperture could do as well. Any suggestions.
Aperture isn't really the correct program for making collages. You really need an editing program like PS or GIMP or Pixelmator.
That being said you might be able to get something useable if you make a book with a single page and add images to that. But I don't think it will be what you are looking for.
Aperture is not the best tool for making collages -- and may not be even an adequate tool. It's strengths are RAW conversion, image devolopment, image storage and retrieval, and image publishing. There are two sophisticated tools for publishing groups of images -- Slideshows and Books -- but other than that any time your work involves combining graphics elements, you should think first of a graphics editing program. Aperture is an image development and DAM program.
However, you may find Aperture's Light Tables readily meet your needs. You can combine, overlay, resize, and print groups of images. Worth knowing about -- Light Tables can be useful for many tasks.
Gee for a new guy you really seem to know your stuff 😀
😝 I can't even get my new history to show up ... which means I have to go all the way to Apple dot com to get into the other discussion. No news at all re: the desnafuification of KirbyToo. In this case no news is not good news.

For quick collages, you can export your images from Aperture, and use Picasa (free from Google) to create the collages. Unless you are experienced with Photoshop or Gimp, the Collage features of Picasa will get the job done much quicker.
can you create collages in aperture
