Styles: can be added to a picture, for sample to frame it with a stroke or a shadow. Once placed in the sheet you may use Photoshop’s Move tool to resize and reposition it. This will create a smooth transition between the background and the picture, let’s place now the picture.ĭepending on your own style a wedding album may have different looks and complements, you may easily place them using Album DS’s features I’ll show you some of them.Ĭlipart: select the cliparts tab in Album DS and double click at a clipart thumbnail like I did here with the Decor_vectorial ones. Select the one which is black at left with a gradient and double click at it. Select the Masks panel in Album DS and then the Transitional folder, click at Show masks to see all transitional masks. We still need a picture on the right side, please drag a new rectangular shape layer filling the page from top to bottom and at the right border but don’t fill the page at left. The background will always be placed over the Color Fill layer and the background to show the original background color and design, you may easily drag the Color Fill layer one layer above and change the blend mode to Color ( or whatever mode you prefer) and then also change his color, the layer will now blend the background and make it look completely different and tailored for your pictures. Select the background tab in Album DS, then select a background and double click at it. Let’s place a background now in our wedding sheet. It’s time to place a couple of pictures, select the target shape layer in the layers palette and double click at the picture in Album DS. Look at the align options in this picture.Īlign the shape layers and move them to be aligned also to the top of the other layer, then resize them slightly to fill until the bottom of the other layer. Please select both layers in the layers palette and then select the Move tool. We have to align this layers now, and Photoshop has perfect align tools for this matter. You may use Photoshop’s move tool to reposition and / or resize the picture, just make sure to have selected “Show transform controls” for the Move tool options and drag from a pictures corner to resize it ( keep Shift pressed to keep aspect relation).Ĭreate another shape layer with the rectangle tool, this time I will create an horizontal shape layer.Īnd now duplicate the layer to place 2 horizontal pictures, this can be done with Photoshop’s layer menu ( right click on the layer in the palette), by pressing ALT and dragging the layer between 2 layers in the palette, pressing ALT and dragging the layer in the document, or just using the Layers menu in Photoshop. Depending on your preference settings in Album DS the picture will be centered or placed at the top left corner of the shape layer. Select the shape layer and double click at a picture in Album DS, this will place the picture in the document resizing it to fit the shape layer.
You may also use the rectangle with rounded corners, elipse or custom shape tool to create it, just experiment.ĭraw a rectangle in the sheet, if you don’t like the inital color you may change it by double clicking the first thumbnail at left in the shape layer at Photoshop’s layers palette.
Please note the settings needed to create a shape layer with the rectangle tool.
Next step will be to create the shape layers for the pictures, they are different methods to get shape layers but the easiest is using Photoshop’s rectangle tool.
At Photoshop layers palette you will find the background layer and one Color Fill layer ( in white but easily changeable by double clicking at the color thumbnail in the layers palette). Now select Sheet – New sheet, you will get a blank empty sheet with 2 pages ( left and right) and guides for the margins input in the album size window.
