A system for generating graphics montage images comprises an image database, a display generator having an image selector and an image arranger. The system also includes a user interface and a display for displaying the generated montage images. The image database stores image data records correlated to images. The image selector selects a plurality of images from the database and the image arranger determines the display characteristics for each selected image. The selected images are then displayed together, as modified by their display characteristics, forming the graphics montage image. Typically, a plurality of graphics montage images are generated and displayed to the user. The invention also involves a method for assisting in the generation of graphic montage images, having the following steps: (a) selecting a plurality of selected images from an image database; (b) determining modifying characteristics for each of the selected images; and (c) displaying the selected images as modified by the modifying characteristics, thereby displaying a graphics montage image.
