Dan Z [How to make a photobook with six photos per page of equal size and equal spacing. ]

I am using adobe photoshop 13.

I need to figure out how to take photos and make a photobook with six photos to a page of equal size and equal spacing.  Is there a capacity to copy and paste the sizes I want to make each pages templates.  Many of the photos are of irregular sizes and will need to be adjusted as well but in many cases I just want six evenly spaced and sized boxes to drag (or click) the photos to.

The program only allows for four to a page maximum (or fixed numbers and arrangements)

I am making a book that will then be bound later

    The best way to do this is to crop each photo to size and then place the 6 photos on a blank file (File>New>Blank File). The crop tool is ideal for this, as you can enter the dimensions and the resolution.

    The blank file's resolution should be the same as that of the picture files, ideally in the 240-300px/in range.

    Let's assume that you have 8.5X11" paper stock. You can fit 6 3x3" pictures comfortably.

    The work flow would be:

    1. File>New>blank file. W=8.5", H=11" , Resolution 300 px/in, Background:White
    2. Open picture #1, Edit>copy
    3. Go back to the blank file, Edit>paste. Picture #1 will come in on its own layer
    4. Activate the move tool, and position picture #1
    5. Do the same for pictures 2-6. Each one will be on a separate layer, affording you perfect control..

    If you wish to make your own template, try the following:

    Set foreground color chip to black or any color to suit

    Activate the Rectangular Marquee tool, Mode - fixed size, and set W=3", H=3"

    1. Go to File>New>Blank file. W=8.5", H=11". Resolution 300px/in, Background:Transparent
    2. Left click with the Rectangular Marquee tool, then go to Edit>Stroke(Outline)Selection. Make Stroke about 6px, position it inside.
    3. Press CTRL+D to get rid of the marching ants outline
    4. Duplicate Layer 1, and position the rectangular box on both Layer 1 & Layer 1 Copy.
    5. Duplicate Layer 1 Copy to get Layer 1 Copy 2
    6. Repeat until you have the original layer and the 5 "copy" layers.
    7. Go to File>Place, point to Picture #1, and place. Drag in to box #1
    8. Repeat for Pictures 2-6.

    TIP: Open the grid for orientation. View>Grid. It will not print.

    Good Morning:

    I am trying to understand what you mean by this. When I do the blank file, it pulls me out of my photobook and gives me one blank page to work on. Am I supposed to then copy this and paste into the photobook.

    I have not worked through the template advice yet. If I can just click on a photo position and copy it than I could just paste it right alongside the first photo until I get the number I wish on that page.

    I really wish there was a way to put the photo in the photo position spot and then have the program auto adjust it to fit the space. Probably too much to ask of the program

    Thanks. I will keep in touch
