Simple app to do collage?
 

I need a program that will allow me to easily cut and paste part of an
image onto a new blank page.

For example, say I have several JPG files containing mugshots of
people and I want to be able to cut out a mugshot and paste it onto
this new page and repeat the process until I've added a few mugshots
to the new page.

I want something simple... basically a drag and drop app...
preferrably free. Any suggestions?

TIA

Shape Collage operates a bit differently from your description but
might be easiest for your task.
http://www.vincentcheung.ca/shapecol...reenshots.html

For the exact crop->copy->paste workflow you described, use Irfanview
to easily open, crop and copy your images, and use Artweaver to paste
those crops onto a blank image canvas. Artweaver will allow you to
move the cropped images around to your choosing, and will allow you to
easily increase the canvas size to your choosing if necessary.

Sorry I missed the original post, but how about this one? You can't
get any more simple and basic than this.
