My system is a Mac G4 running OS 10.2 and I'm using Photoshop 7.    I
would appreciate some help from a researcher on how to most
efficiently accomplish a little project.   I'm taking my old 35mm
slides and scanning them into Photoshop and saving them as individual
images.   The next step is where I need help.   I would like to create
sort of a "template" with, say, 6 frames per page --- in this case a
page would be a standard letter size piece of paper --- 8 1/2 by 11
inches.   The template would be a file I could open in Photoshop and
then "drag" one of the images into one of the frames.   After filling
up the 6 frames, I could then print and have a page which I could put
into a three-ring binder.  The page would, of course, have the 6
chosen photos on it.   How can I create the file in Photoshop with the
"frames" so that I can easily move in the photos in any order?  
Please let me know if you need additional information.

Clarification of Question by seattle-ga on 07 Nov 2002 14:42 PST

Hello Tox!!   Wow, what a super deal!  Exactly what I was looking for
and even more.  Please post as an answer.   Thank you so much.

Seattle-ga, 
 
Hmm...I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for but here goes:
 
1. Goto File > Automate > Contact Sheet II... 
2. Change the Document Settings to the size that you want the file to
be.
3. Copy the pictures you want on this sheet into a folder (As many as
you want, Photoshop just creates more files to hold them all)
4. Change 'Columns' to 2, 'Rows' to 3 
5. Edit the commenting options 
6. Click OK and it should create the file for you. 
 
If this is what you were looking for, I'll post it in the answer. 
 
Hope it helps. If you have any questions about it just post them, I'll
try and answer them.  Don't forget to rate :).

While I feel certain your "project" is do-able, I had been unsucessful
in getting it to work for myself. I bought After Shot, by JASC, which
not only accomplished this task, but does many others. I realize you
already HAVE PhotoShop 7, and I hope someone can answer your question.

If not, look into After Shot. It runs between $49-$79 (USD-depending
on store and rebate offers)You can read about it, and even download a
trial version here:
www.jasc.com

As a timesaver, this program has anything else I have used beaten,
hands down. You can drag images to a new album, and batch process your
photos. By this I mean, you can, say, re-size any number of pictures
to a size of your choosing. I used to resize images one at a time, and
it became time consuming. Now, I drag 30 images at a time (holding
down the shift while clicking the first and last image I want) to a
new album, click Batch, click resize and voila.....I have both the
original and resized prints in one album. There is a nice print layout
screen as well. There are other functions as well, such as
browse......visit the site. Amazon.com also had a rebate going if you
purchased it from them. Good luck,

Hello crabcakes.   Thank you for your comment.   I would have been on
the way to the store (again) but tox has just given me the answer in
Photoshop.

seattle,
I'm so glad Tox was able to help you. I am a strong believer in using
what you already have! Great!
