Use the transform handles to resize the placed graphic, if necessary, and press Return (PC: Enter). In the dialog that appears, choose Page rather than Image, and click OK.
#PHOTO MOSAIC PHOTOSHOP TEMPLATE PDF#
In Photoshop, open or create a document, and then use File>Place, navigate to your PDF file, and click Place. After Refreshing Preview one more time just to be sure, press the Save button at the very bottom of the panel, name it appropriately, and click OK.

In this example, we don’t want Filenames, Page Numbers, Playback options, or Watermarks, so make sure all of these are turned off (no checkmark) or set to None. For our example, we added a small value (0.13 in) for the Horizontal spacing. Once the preview is finished, you can alter any values and press Refresh Preview again. Leave everything else at zero, press the Refresh Preview button, and a preview will be generated based on the information you’ve entered. In the Layout section, enter 10 for the number of Columns (because we have 10 photos) and 1 for Rows. You also enter the Quality (resolution): for this example, we used 150 ppi. Based on the number of images, we guessed at 12×2″ (as you’ll see, it’s okay to guess, because we’re going to be working with a preview). As we want to create a filmstrip of photos, the document has to be very wide and not very high. In the PDF options, go to the Document settings and enter values for the Width and Height of the document. You can also click on the double dotted line to the left of the Workspace menu and drag to the left to display the main workspaces, and then just click on the name of the workspace you want to use.Ĭlick on PDF at the top of the Output panel. With the photos selected, switch to the Bridge Output module: Window>Workspace>Output or click on the Workspace drop-down menu (down-facing arrow at the top just to the left of the Search field). You can either simply select them, or label/rank them. In the Essentials module of Bridge, navigate to the folder of images you want to use and select the photos you want to include in the filmstrip. In this example, we’ll use Bridge to create both a filmstrip of images and a mosaic. But thanks to the Output module, Bridge also offers some interesting design possibilities. Many people, understandably, think of Adobe Bridge as a visual file browser, and of course, that’s its strength.
