This document provides instructions for creating a collage about Roskilde Cathedral, with steps including selecting photos, using software like Paintshop Pro 7 and XaraExtreme 4 to design and add special effects to the photos, and finishing the collage. The instructions conclude by noting the date of May 2010 and that the photos were taken by Karsten A. Krabbe.
