p.1 #1 · How do you make this?? (collage/sequence w/ seperating borders)

Ive read a few books and also try to find tutorials and video ttorials on you tube to find out how to do this with no luck. All I find/learn is how to make the usual simple black border with the white keyline in between the pic and the black border.

But Id like to make a nice "sequence/collage" of 2-4+ pics that is nicely evenly seperated with uniform borders around the collage and a faint pinline border around the entire thing. WITHOUT eyeballing it or doing it ghetto dragging style.

A sample taken from "Preposterous" on Flickr is basically exactly what I want to do.

Any help greatly appreciated!

It is easy ... but, before we can give you the instructions, what software are you using?

That is super easy in any version of photoshop. Create a new doc a little larger thant three times the size of an individual photo, drag the photos in and place them. Viola.

Even easier in LR (beta). Just use the print mod. and print to .jpg file.

This is how I would approach it, as I do quite a few page layouts myself. In CS3 Photoshop I first make a template of the page layout, in this case you want the borders just so, with black in the rectangles where the photos will go. I use the guides and the grid to make sure everything is lined up. Then, one by one, select each rectangle and opening the photo you want in another window, edit/copy/all - go back to your template with the rectangle selected and 'paste into'.

Mitch - Where in LR do you print to a JPG file? Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't see that...
