Thank you for the Tutorial! Very helpful, I do have a few questions though as i’m used to Photoshop and somethings are a little frustrating. For example, when story boarding can you zoom in on your template to better align the cells? Another question is can you re-crop/zoom individual images in and out inside of the cells when storyboarding? Thank you again!

Hi, great tutorial! I’ve been making my own print templates as well. Here’s a little tip for the color block technique. Instead of trying to remember/writing down the hex code for the colors you like, just save the kuler file as a swatch file (ase extension) and open it in Photoshop (load swatches). This will add every color from your kuler file into the swatch panel. Now you can easily select each color for your page.

Great tutorial, it helped me a lot!! Just thought I’d say something though that I’ve tried while watching your video. Instead of using photoshop for the color blocks wouldn’t it be easier if you just leave background page space to the side of your photo and color it that way? You can still use Kuler to pick out the colors and get the hex code but this way you don’t have to use photoshop, save a file for the color and have to import it to lightroom.

Hi Nina. I found your tutorial through a post at Clickin Moms and I’m so glad I did! Your explanation was great. Thanks so much for the tutorial.

Amazingly Helpful thank you so much. What was the kular thing?

YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I have been trying for two weeks to figure this whole thing out in Photoshop and have been soooo frustrated with it! This is fantastic and I love it!
Thank you again sooooo much for posting this.

Nina,
I was wondering why you use photo shop rather than making your background colored with the hex number you retrieve? Is there a difference other than ease of use?

Okay, I get it now. Thanks.
