Mike Warren (MikeDubU) > Photos and Custom Polaroid Collage by Aaron Warren
Steps: This is done by filling the 9x9 square with Gray (128/128/128), then running the Polaroid Action.
After the action finishes, go back a couple of lines in the history palette before the layers were flattened.
Each picture can be then moved and rotated on its own layer into position.
Click on a gray square with the magic wand, then select similar, then delete.
This will leave you with 36 white polaroid frames, with transparent openings.
Paste an image behind each frame then transform the size and rotate behind each frame opening.
Once you play around with it, you'll figure out how to arrange the frames and erase the extra images that may stick out.
Bring an image or texture in for the background layer, fade layer to taste.
Add text above the background layer and/or on top of each frame.

Mike Warren (MikeDubU) > Here are some creative ways to use the Polaroid Collage Action.
Instead of starting with one big image 9" X 9", you can open a 9" X 9" X 300 ppi canvas, set your grid to 1.500", then bring in 36 1.500" X 1.500" images.
Flatten then run the action. You will end up with 36 different Polaroid pictures.

Once you get this concept, then go the next step, mix up the composition with anything that is incremental of 1.500", like 3" X 3", 3" X 6", 1.500" X 4.500", 4.500" X 4.500" and so on. Layout your images any way you want, provided it snaps to the grid.

At the end of the action, go back in history a couple of steps before the layers were merged, then you can move and rotate the polaroid pics around for a more hand done look.
Transform, move rotate, etc.

Here are some layout suggestions, the number in the lower right corner indicates the number of images used in the template.
