You want a note-taking app. OneNote is a perfectly good option if you've got an Office license.

Hadn't occurred to me, but a brilliant idea. Though I will say for anyone else thinking about the same thing: Draw > Shapes > Turn off 'Snap to grid'. Image placement is very unpredictable when you have this feature on.

Otherwise this works very well, thanks.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't simply paste crop and cut images in paint.net, using multiple filesaves as your tabs, then any image viewer to review them.
Keep the thumbnails (or shortcuts to) at a prominent place on your desktop so you're readily reminded of them.
Could even use them as rolling desktop backgrounds.

It would be a bit of a ballache to go in and reposition old images, particularly if they overlap a bit, no?

I thought that's part fun of the collage. Move things around, get to know the relationships between elements, colours, shapes, etc. Hell, you could even go full psycho-analytical and explore why you don't want to place your beloved childhood pet right next to your mother.

Yes, but I'm saying wouldn't moving older images around be a ballache in Paint.net?

Nevermind, I've just remembered that it has the same "layer" function as Photoshop. I suppose that's a workable way of doing things also.

Oh, right. Once you get to know layers and transparancy and hot-keys it's not too difficult.
The magic-wand tool is suprisingly useful as well, be sure to adjust its tollerance before giving up.
Also save images as .png if you need transparancy.

Give it a go, s'only worth 30 minutes and 340mb program, not losing much if you don't like it.

Have a look at Obsidian, the canvas feature would work well for this - https://obsidian.md/canvas

Uses standard text-based markdown, shitloads of options and plugins to customise it how you want, cross-platform.

This looks absolutely fantastic, and I have installed it. Unfortunately I can't switch over from OneNote as it requires a paid subscription to sync from device to device ("Obsidian sync").

I was trying to figure out whether it may be possible to use my Google Drive folders as a workaround, and a couple of community plug-ins promise sync compatibility, but the Android Obsidian app has no method of opening a "vault" from Google Drive.

I may use it for other purposes, though.
