I select the top middle layer and then add a new blank layer above it (Shift+Ctrl+N). I want to change the color of the two squares that are left. Now I am going to go through the exact same steps to add all my other pictures. Make sure that your width & height are the exact same size so your picture doesn’t get distorted. I go to Edit> Transform (Ctrl+T) and drag the corners of the picture to make it smaller so it fits in the square like this. What I need to do now is transform the picture so it fits. Now my picture fits perfectly in the little square where I want it, but I can’t see the whole picture. How do I do that? With a clipping mask! To do this I will right click on my picture layer and select “Create Clipping Mask”. Now I need my picture to fit perfectly in that black square and not cover anything else up. I want this to be my middle picture, so I am going to drag this layer above my middle black square. You can see the crib rails there in the background. I copy and paste it onto my template now.

This is what my template looks like now.įor this template I want nine square pictures spaced evenly across the template. Now I copy and paste it onto my template. This time I made my square 6×6 and changed the background contents to black. I go to File> New again and go through the same steps. If it will fit in the 20×20 square, go for it. You can make them whatever dimensions you chose. You can add as many or as few pictures as you want. Now I am going to create shapes for where my pictures are going to go. If you are making a template to print, you will want to add quarter inch guides so nothing gets cut off in printing. Change the “Background Contents” to white. You will need to change the resolution to 300 for printing or 72 if you are just going to use it for a blog storyboard. To do this in Photoshop go to File> New (Ctrl+N) and then change the width and height. I am going to start off with a plain white 20×20 picture, but you can make it any size you want. Every photographer needs storyboard templates and you don’t need to spend a fortune on them.
