Sorry for the crap title, not the best but it is all I could come up with!

Basically I have 15-20 photos of our old dog who died a 18 months ago and I want to put them all together into one big picture (A2 or A3 size) as a present for the parents.

I just wondered, what is the best way of doing this.
I have never used photoshop but I put could them all together in MS word/powerpoint 2007?
I am thinking to get some internet company to print the finished photo.
As you have probably already concluded, I know nothing about photo editing.

Thanks for any help OCUK!

No.

Best thing to do is probably post up full res shots (i.e. from camera, don't resize, host elsewhere and link to them) on here and I'm sure someone will be able to help you out. Possibly me:)

Sorry about your dog.
 
Thanks for the help guys so far.

Stupot: Some of the pics are from a digital camera but some are off an old 1MP phone camera and so the quality and resolution between the pics varies quite a lot.
I will upload the photos to a hosting site tomorrow and will post back when I have done so.
 
Get em uploaded fella as said above or if need be email my trust and reply with my email addy so you can send em to me.

I'll happily host them for ya so people can get at them.

I'll also gladly have a go at this for ya buddy.!
 
Hey guys.
I have just uploaded the pics now to skydrive (you know I had honestly never heard of this place before).

The dog who died was called Rosie 4th July 1994 - 18th Dec 2008.
The other dog (the black one) is Penny and she is OK as we didn't get her until 2006.
The photos are of mixed quality as they are off old digital cameras and my 1MP Samsung flip phone.
For some unknown reason the white dogs nose went a bit crusty when she got older so if you look at the pics and think wtf they are actually fine:).

Link to the pics.

I am unsure whether I want writing in the middle or not, or if I want A2 or A3 - I know zero about photos:p.

Many thanks for the help already given.
 
A relative has just reminded me that it is my parents wedding anniversary next week so this will do nicely.
How is the 'shopping going guys?:)

I have CS2 but I am afraid to use it - I feel I will get frustrated due to the complexity (I used NX4 at work for 3 months without ANY training for creating CAD models and engineering drawings).
 
I'll have a tinker either tonight or tomorrow night buddy.

Of course that depends on the resident 3 yr old going to bed..:D
