Creating a photo board template

For Catherine :)

Hope this makes sense, it's how I do it.  I now have a folder full of different sized templates with different shapes. 

File - New
Choose your name.  Make it descriptive so you know what the template holds.  Write a size in cm as I use the photoshop rulers in cm.
Set resolution 120 or 72 for the web.  240 or 300 for print.  
Choose a colour background that will frame your photos.

At this stage you can save your template as a photoshop file to use anytime you want, with different photos.  Save it as a photoshop file so it keeps the guidelines and different layers.

You can size the photos so they have a white gap/frame surrounding them.  But I'm going make them flush.  These are just random photos in my web file as demo, that's why some have my logo on them.

Layer - Flatten Image - save as a jpeg and this is my final image.  Remember can you go and reuse the photoshop template file with different photos another time.

Hope that was helpful.
