PSP-PSD Spanning Templates

[Fejinwales]

As I use PSP 7.04 - I made templates to help me do spanning sets easily for the three most popular case sizes, in spanning sets from 2 to 10 cases.

Single (or 1-4) Amaray (slim 3-4) 3240 x 2175 (170 spine) - Slim 5-6 3370 x 2175 (300 spine) - Slim 8 3395 x 2175 (325 spine)

They are in PSP and PSD format.

I don’t know if there is an easier way to do these in newer versions of PSP or in PS (like plug-ins) so I thought that just in case there is not I would share them here.

I've made instructions based on an old version of PSP as simple as possible and included some screen shots in both Word and PDF formats (both older versions again for compatibility) - a little bit of basic knowledge of PSP will make them easy to understand...
I've had a look in my CS3 Portable and the references can be simply converted into PS so it shouldn't be too difficult.

I hope that they can be of some use to someone.

Hi sero296, thanks.

I just hope the instructions are ok for others to follow, I went over them time and time again to make sure they were right, but actually having made and used these templates for quite a while it's easy for me to be lax in the instructions and assume I've included everything.

The cutting part is a nuisance but it was easier to explain than using different tools as I do. My span layers are solid not outlined as these ones are so I switch focus to the span layer I want and use the magic wand to select, then switch back to background and copy and paste. It is quicker. If anyone downloading these wants to do the same just go to each layer and fill it in with the appropriate colour.

just thought I would drop you a line to say THANKS your spanning template is ace and will use this forever and a day . So easy and instructions are great did use it in photoshop because I find it easier however anybody needs one in future. will send them to your template ..........thanks again
