Step 15:
How about a poster, on black, with 36
wide images? Easy. Start by creating a
collection made up of only wide images.
Then go to the Image Settings panel and
turn off the Zoom to Fill checkbox. Go
to the Layout panel and set a 1-inch
margin all the way around the page, using
the Margins sliders. Now, set your Page
Grid to 9 Rows (as shown here), and 4
Columns, so you have four tall columns
like you see here. Keep your Horizontal
Cell Spacing at 0 in, then put just enough
Vertical Cell Spacing to make the space
between the photos about half the size of
the horizontal spacing. Lastly, head down
to the Page panel, turn on the checkbox
for Page Background Color, then click on
the color swatch to the right of it, and
choose black for your background color.
Step 16:
Okay, this one's kinda wild—one photo
split into five separate thin vertical cells.
Here's how it's done: You start by clicking
the Page Setup button (at the bottom
left), and set your page to be Landscape
orientation. Then Right-click on a photo
in the Filmstrip and choose Create Virtual
Copy. You need to do this three more
times, so you have a total of five copies
of your photo. Now, in the Image Settings
panel, turn on Zoom to Fill, then in the
Layout panel, set your Margins to 1.50
in on the sides, and 1.00 in for the Top
and Bottom. For your Page Grid, choose
1 Rows and 5 Columns. Add a little
Horizontal Cell Spacing—around 0.25 in.
Then set your Cell Size Height to 6.50 in,
and the Width to only 1.40 in. In the Page
panel, turn on the Page Background Color
checkbox, click on the color swatch, and
change your background color to dark
gray. Select all five photos in the Filmstrip,
then you'll click-and-drag each of the five
images around inside their cells—drag-
ging left and right—until they appear to
be one single image (like you see here).
