This is just to test members views on the difference (if any) between these words.
I was always under the impression that a collage was a picture made up of bits and pieces of other pictures (such as some of Greg's pictures). In this case the components lose their original identity when viewing the picture as a whole.
A montage on the other hand is a grouping of pictures in which each of the individual pictures still maintain their original identity (such as my Kaokoveld montage). There may be pleasing lines and groupings, but each picture stands on its own (this maybe an example)
I see some dictionaries make these words synonymous, but I feel this, is incorrect as is in the case of making information and knowledge synonymous.
