This is seriously funny I'm posting this.

No really, it's laughable. I had mentioned before that I learned how to make a photo canvas in Photoshop (thank you Teresa!). I've had several of you ask me how this is done. Let me emphasize it is the ONE and ONLY thing I know how to do in PS. My directions, I'm sure are totally not savvy as far as explanations and terminology go. Hopefully, they make enough sense for some of you to muttle your way through and have some success. My PS abilities are totally untapped...I'm looking forward to learning so much more. I'm really the last one that should be giving out PS directions, but here you go...don't laugh.

-file
-open
Go to your files where your photos are uploaded to (mine are in my Kodak file). Select photos you want to use. You can select multiple photos by holding down the "Ctrl" button.
-Crop (this icon looks like square w/ the left upper and lower right corners extended beyond the square with a diagonal line through it...it's the third button down on the left of the tool bar (there should be a tool bar on the left)
You will need to crop the photos to size to fit them on your new "canvas." After you select the "crop" button, a tool bar w/ dimensions should come up along the top. You will have to play w/ what sizes you want. For any of the canvas' you've seen on my blog, I usually crop about 2-3 inches for width and height. (this will give you a square crop, if you want a rectangular crop adjust for that. Set resolution to 300. Now click on one of the photos to be cropped. You will see the crop icon. Click and drag it across the photo. You can move and adjust it. Hit enter when you want to save the crop. Repeat for the rest of the photos. Now you've cropped your photos you need to open new file for the canvas, go to:
-file
-new
Set the dimensions for the new canvas. Just add up the size of the photos you've cropped. For example, 3 photos @ 3 in X 2 in I'd create a canvas 9 in x 2 in. (adding a bit more if you want some room for white borders). Set resolution to 300. The new canvas will pop up. Now, go back to the tool bar on the left and select "move" button. This is the top right button my tool bar. It has a left pointing arrow w/ a compass looking arrows next to it. Move photos to canvas. If you need to adjust a photo after you've already moved onto another photo click on the "layer" of the photo you want to move. ("layers" are shown on the bottom right)
-text
You can add text to your canvas by clicking on the "T" on the left tool bar. You can adjust font, color and size
-file
-save
Name and save your file. Save it as a JPEG
