PhotoShop Template Instructions Getting started... The first thing you do is open the template of your choice and your photo at the same time. Make sure the template is selected by clicking on it. You should see the list of the template's layers in your layers menu. If the layers menu isn’t visible, then click "Window" at the top of the screen and then "layers". Select the bottom layer of the template by clicking on it. This is actually an empty layer. You want the photo that you insert to be below every other part of the template. This bottom layer is just there to help you position your photo in the right place below the other layers.     Select the move tool. It’s the one on the top right of your tools menu. If the tools menu isn’t visible, then click "Window" at the top of the screen and then "tools". Next, click on your photo and drag it onto the template. Your picture should appear behind the template itself. In other words, the template should overlap your photo. Click the box in front of the words "Show Bounding Box" at the top of the screen.     This will show you where the outer edge of your photo is behind the other layers of the template. Hold down your shift key and click on one of the little squares at the corner of the box. Now drag your mouse in toward the center of the photo if you want to make it smaller or drag it outward if you want to make it bigger. Once you have it the size you want, let go of your shift key and double click the image to set the size. Now you can drag your photo up or down or side to side, if you want to. Once you have the picture how you want it, move on to changing the text. Your templates may have one or more layers with text in them. Layers with text have a T next to them in the layers menu. Choose one of the text layers, choose the text tool which looks like at T in the tools menu, then drag your mouse over the text to be changed. It will become highlighted. In the example below, you can see that the layer with the name ("Mary Ja…") is selected. The text tool in the tools menu is selected and the text has been highlighted. Now you just simply type the new text that you want to replace the old. Do the same with all text layers in the template. And here is the result: The following steps are optional. These are things you can do to change the look of the template itself, if you want to. If you take a look at the layers menu, you’ll see that the layers of the template are labeled. In this example, you see the background and the inner border around the picture. If you want to change the color of one of the layers, select the layer in the layers menu. Then click "Image" at the top on the screen. Then click "Adjustments" and then "Hue/Saturation".     The Hue/Saturation window will open. You can play with all three sliders until you get results that you’re happy with. Note the difference in color of the inner border around the picture after changing the hue/saturation. You can do the same with any layer that isn’t a text layer. To change the color of the text, select the text layer you want to change, select the text tool and highlight the text as you did when you typed over it. At the top of the screen you’ll see a colored box. Click it to make the color picker open. Choose any color you want for the text. If you want to change other text layers to the exact same color, make note of the color number. In this case, 917C60. You can just type that color in when you do the other text layers. Of course, there’s no rule that all of the text layers have to be the same color. You can make them anything you want.   Here’s what the template looks like now with the name changed to brown.
