Willing to look at all other programs that run on Windows 10.

I have Corel Paintshop... Ive done a couple of them for horsie friends Blending out one to fit behind another.... Colorizing in places Retouching in other places.

What ever tools work for you and are easiest.... Use those. My friend had some shots of her and a hugely talented Draft Mare.... named the BOSS... Jumping a picnic table with her on.... S shaped Weymouth and a big snaffle... She was the kind of horse that was powerful and sometimes unstoppable....

But I took pictures of all her boss mares over the years and made the collage and the final one was her last Standing vigilance over the grave of one of her herd mates Keeping watch...

You could use layers to make them.

Sorry about your friend. If you can find it that would be great, but don't worry if you can't.

So download some software and use it to get the hang of it

Oh definately use layers.... Especially when you can control each one Corel allows you to do some pretty Gnarly Tweaks.... With color and Posterizations.

I have even combined Auto Cad documents for my basics and built around that... For Workshop illustrations on How tos....

Big Tip though what ever photos you are working with Save each one in a folder for untouched media.... This way you can feel free to tweak and adjust.
