Step Seven:
Okay, let's start from scratch again and
shoot for something pretty ambitious
(well, as far as layouts go anyway). Clear
your layout again, then go to the Page
panel, turn on the checkbox for Page
Background Color, click on the color
swatch, and choose black as your back-
ground color. Now, make sure the Lock
to Photo Aspect Ratio checkbox is turned
off, then just go to the Cells panel and click
the buttons to add a bunch of cells, and
resize them so your layout looks kinda like
what I have here, with a gap between the
top and bottom set of images (so you can
add your Identity Plate).
Step Eight:
Now, go ahead and drag-and-drop your
photos into these cells. By the way, the
thin white border you see around your
cells is just there to show you where the
cell borders are—those don't actually
print in the final image. If you want a
white stroke around your images, go up
to the Image Settings panel and turn on
the checkbox for Inner Stroke, then click
on the color swatch to the right and set
the color to white. For the image shown
here, I switched to a collection of travel
shots, then I dragged some of those im-
ages into the cells. Lastly, to have your
studio name appear between the images,
go to the Page panel and turn on the
checkbox for Identity Plate, then turn on
the Override Color checkbox, click on the
color swatch and choose white as your
Identity Plate color. You can drag your
Identity Plate anywhere on the page, but
for this layout, just drag it to the center
and you're done.
