Photoshop Storyboard or Book Template

This one is for my fellow photoshop users. A template for creating a storyboard/collage like this one:

Big Box Grid

This makes a gorgeous 30X30" storyboard, but can be used in so many other ways. Keep it small and use it as a book template or go extra large for jaw dropping photo display. The template is sized at 10X10" to keep the file size down. It can be easily upsized or downsized using the "Image Size" command within Photoshop.

The template uses clipping masks and there is no accompanying action (I find it easier and more customizable without one). There's a brief explanation on how to use clipping masks in the template but if you still don't get it try a google search.

It works great for B&W. The only time I've really loved it in color was when I used it for a session with no outfit changes all in the same location. It can get too busy, otherwise.

Oh!! How exciting! I love this! I'm actually using it right now for a 20x20 gallery print!!! Thank you so much for your generosity!

Hey Dawn, thank you so much for this collage!! I have one question, I am new to collages and that sort of projects. The transparent background you see behind the collage, does that end up being white, or I probably need to make it white right? I am sorry for sounding stupid, but I just wanted to be sure that was right. You just select background layer and make it white? thanks so much,

Dawn - this is great! Thanks so much for sharing! I love what you did with it. The collage really shows off her adorable personality!

Katrina- It will print white if you leave it blank or add white (or another color) if it makes you more comfortable. Hope that helps!
