Quick Fill Using Photoshop CS

[vil4fun]

Help!! I'm super new to digital scrapping and was so excited to find the quick fill templates... I thought I would be able to drag and drop my pictures and magically, it would look perfect...

I've looked through all the posts and have tried to figure it all out for hours but I still can't.

Please help me with the following questions:

1. How do I size the pictures to perfectly fit in the boxes? Do I need to size them all down to fit in perfectly?

3. When I resize the image, the measurement is in pixels. How do I do this?

I guess I'm looking for a step by step. From what I have figured out, I select a picture and I need to size it to fit in the boxes. I need to them move it to the box and them make it a background and erase what I don't want. I'm finding that the pictures are either too big for the boxes and need to be resized/a lot erased or too small for the boxes and I need to start again.

Please help... Thanks a ton!

Hi, Linda! My method is to drag my photos on to the template and then behind the template layer. I then choose CTRL+T and (holding down my shift key to keep proportions) drag the corners inward to resize my photo. You can also rotate your photo at this stage. Once you have your photo looking the way you'd like behind the template, hit Enter. You can then erase any portion of your photo that may be covering another window using the eraser tool.

Does this help?
