In Photoshop, it's a manual process. 

• Place the image
• Drop the opacity (optional)
• Lock the layer (5th lock icon in the Layers panel)
• Create new layers and draw on them using the drawing tools

If you are used to Illustrator in which you can covert any layer to a non-printing Template layer, Photoshop does not have that. You have to hide the layer when you want to print.
