Learn how to make a Photo Collage with Polaroid Effect in Photoshop. We will use the rectangle marquee tool selection tool. To form a photo frame, create a frame-shaped selection on a separate layer, then fill the border with white. Then give an emboss or drop shadow style. Adjust its position in the photo using Free Transform. Next we just need to duplicate the layers of the frame and adjust each position using Free Transform. As for the background, you can choose a table photo or just create an empty layer and fill it with black.
