Application for Creating Collages

I have been provided the task of finding an application that can be used on the classroom net-books for creating collages.  I am looking for both an app that can be downloaded and loaded onto the net-books and a web-based app.  The app loaded onto the net-books will ease bandwidth usage, however the web-based app will allow the students to access and work on their collage from other locations than the school.

The first collage application we are testing is called Shape Collage 2.5.2.  Reviews of Shape Collage identify it as easy use and provides professional results (CNET, 2010).  Downloading this app should (and was) be quick as it is only 533.42 K.  This app is free to try however a watermark is placed on the collage.  To remove the watermark it costs $25.00 to purchase.  The watermark placed on the collage is very small (as shown in the example below).

The second collage application we are testing is Photovisi.  This is a web-based tool, allowing the creation of online collages.  A wonderful review of this application was done by the Zath UK Tech Blog...click here to read the review.  The following collage is a collage I created and downloaded using Photovisi.
