Photoshop as a means of displaying images

Within Photoshop is the capability to decide how to display your images for print production. This blog explains the work flow for this.

Initially:

File --> new --> (choose page size) A3

A blank page will appear which can be moved to sit next to your background images.

 By choosing the 'move' tool from the left hand tool box the image can be copied onto the blank page and placed in the desired spot:

The size of the image can be transformed, but it is important to maintain the scale of the image:
Edit --> transform --> scale, but keep pressing the 'Shift' key to maintain the scale.

Tick to accept the change. 

The image an also be given a frame as below:

Edit -->Stroke --> Black / Outside / 5 pixels

Several images can be transferred and placed as required on the blank sheet. A montage could be produced, or 4 images situated in 2 columns. This could then be saved as a JPEG and printed to A3 size or as required, for display.

This is an alternative means of displaying images to those previously described of books, calendars, large prints - several images in one print.
