Hello, in the template I prepared for Batch Multi Image Collage.JSX in the Photo Collage Kit, even though I did everything right, it sticks the pictures on top of each other.

I would make the channels pure black/white - select each Image # channel and then use Image > Apply Image using Linear Burn blend mode. I haven't tested if this is an issue or not, however, this is the only way that I have made or would think of making alpha channels for such a task.

 

Then Invert the channel as the expectation is to have a black alpha with a white "window" designating the layer content area.

 

Revised template is attached.

 

JJMack's original instructions:

 

The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts:

 

  1. Size the photo collage templates for the print size you want - width, height and print DPI resolution.
  2. Photo collage templates must have a Photoshop background layer. The contents of this layer can be anything.
  3. Photo collage templates must have alpha channels named "Image 1", "Image 2", ... "Image n".
  4. Photo collage templates layers above the background layers must provide transparent areas to let the images that will be placed below them show through.

      Also, a sample draft file is included, I made it by looking at it. Everything works correctly in this sample draft file, and the file I prepared doesn't work properly either.
