The simple answer is that you load the images as brushes and stamp/draw them
onto a new image.  For example:

Create a buffer twice as wide as your images.
Load the first image as a brush.
Go to Pen Options menu, Select Get Brush Size, Get Brush Offset, Grid On.
Stamp the loaded image down in the first grid block.
Load the second image as a brush and stamp it on the second grid block.

Mind you, using the grid here is just to make it simple and automatic
when making a montage of images.  You can skip that step and do it by
hand if you want a more personalized look for the final result.
