Chep, what type of layout do you plan to do? I mean, what's it for? Wedding or something? You have an example? ... Need more details... :)

Can you just use the grids in PS to drag and drop? You can then resize the images using the Transform command.

Chep, No problem bro. :) If you need help; and if you're sure about your print size as well as the number of photos you want to use with that... I can make a single template for you in PS... Don't worry, it's free... :) Just PM me.

using photoshop for layouts is like using a small chinese brush to paint the sistine chapel. you can, but its VERY restrictive. use indesign, illustrator, freehand, or even quark instead.

but if you like painting murals with tiny brushes you could try this: in photoshop go to file>> automate>> select either "contact sheet" or "picture package" and choose the folder where your source pictures are.
