Open Photoshop. I use Elements 9, but I imagine that it works the same in CS5 as well.
Go to File and Create New and set your Width to 851 px and your Height to 315 px. After you hit okay, it will. look like this:
Okay, so now I just added some scrapbook paper for the background. If you don’t have scrapbooking stuff you can always use fill layers.
To add a scrapbook paper go to File and then Place. Search for whatever you are looking for and then add it to your screen.
Because I didn’t want to stretch it out and pixelize it, I actually duplicated the layer and put three squares across the page.
You can clone the lines together if you want to or whatever, but for this tutorial I am just going to leave them. : )
Okay, Now add whatever else you want from you scrapbooking stuff… and then we will make make the frames for your pics!
Now, Create a new layer by clicking on the piece of paper that looks like it is folded over
Now Select black as your color and Fill your new layer in with black.
I use the cookie cutter tool to make my squares but you can use any tool that will make a square.
Now duplicate that square to make as many as you want for pictures. I am just going to do two.
Okay, now to add your PICTURES!
Go to File and then Place again and select the picture you want to put on your timeline photo.
Okay, now the picture is over the box that I want to put it in. I am just going to hit CTRL G to make it fit to the box.
You will have to make it smaller if it is too big to fit in the box. Also, make sure that your picture that you want to go in the desired box is directly above that box in the layers menu before you hit CTRL G.
Now do the same for the second Box and so on….
Finish it up by placing Some other embellisments on the page and some words. You can make frames by using a thick black border, scrapbook frames or just beveling and stroking them. Save at the highest quality you can. : )
Here is my final edit:
Just a quick throw together lol, but this is the gist of it!
