I want to do a collage but not sure how to go about this. Any help on where to start or where I can possibly find templates for this. I am using elements 5. Thanks

What is the collage for? 

Are you looking how to do it in Elements or ideas on how to lay it out?  Search for collage or collage templates and it should bring up a bunch of ideas and some templates.  Here is a different type of collage I did for the players on my sons baseball team:

 

I love that. How was that done?

I really like how you did that too! I would love to learn that as well.  I have 4 boys. I even like how you got the team logo as well. That is a great memory to treasure. GOOD JOB!

 

Sherry, o HI o

Thanks...I was very happy the way they turned out and the Parents loved them!

 

It was all done in PS with layers and masks...once I got the design down and made the template it was relatively easy to just change the text and photos to what I needed.

 

Here is the film template if anyone is interested in using it:

 Thanks again

 

Thanks so much for the filmstrip download!  I searched up and down for one like this a couple of weeks ago!

Much appreciated!

Ok, now I'm stuck. I downloaded the strip and saved it under my "pictures". When I try to open it in photo shop, its just blank?? What am I doing wrong?

I'm not sure, I just donwloaded them from my server and they show up fine....can you view them with any other program?

It's because you are trying to open the .Zip file

You need to extract the 2 .png files from the Zip file. in  My pictures, double click the zip file and it will go through the extraction wizard and then you can extract the two files where you want them and then open the .png files in Photoshhop 

I can actually see them just fine when I go to "My Pictures" and click on the file. But when I try to view it in PS, The strip wont appear??

It works! How do you recommend I get my photos behind it now?
