I have a bunch of images (about 15 of them) of various sizes and aspect ratios, which all need to be fitted into a large new blank image, in a sort of mosaic fashion. Since the images' sizes & aspect ratios vary considerably, there is no simple way of arranging them (e.g. they can't be arranged in a grid), and to find the optimal solution manually takes a lot of time.

Is there a way in Photoshop/GIMP to have these pictures optimally resized in the new blank slate, such as to maximise the size of each individual picture but minimise the inevitable white space remaining between them?

I have thought of 3 different techniques that you can try.

The easiest way to get a masonry layout is by using code. I would look into using the masonry plugin by: masonry.desandro.com/. You can then either take screenshots for use or as a reference guide to placing images in Photoshop.

You can manually make all of the image widths in Photoshop the same with an action and drag n drop the images into the new document.

I saw this in another thread, I have never used this but it may be worth checking out: lumens.se/tychpanel/. This plugin for Photoshop will automate the process of aligning images next to each other.
