Photoshop Templates

[EM77]

Hi there,

I have purchased templates to use for photocards and they have boxes for adding photos.

I am however struggling to add the photos into the photoboxes. Every time I try to insert a photo it creates a new layer rather than add it to the dedicated photo layer.

If I understand the instructions correct - to be able to merge the photo shop template layer with the new layer containing my photo I place the cursor on the line between the two layers, hold down ALT and then click which should add them together. However it does not add the photo to the frame so wondering if I have to accurately crop the image before adding to layer or should the photo just slot into the frame and fit without much editing?

So wondering if anyone have created these templates or used them so maybe have some detailed instructions to a newbi like me who are utterly confused and frustrated.

Thanks
E

You may in this way

1. You have to copy your image you want to paste or insert into. This is how you have to do: Select that image, hit CTRL + A, then hit CTRL + C

2. Then you go to layers palette. Activate it by just clicking your left mouse button on this layer (the layer of the template you want to be inserted with your image).

3. You hit CTRL + V to paste your image into this (template) layer.

4. Mission accomplished.


If it does not work, please inform me.


best regards!
