  • Which Adobe program?

    Posted by Chris Davis on November 24, 2008 at 8:57 pm

    Hello. I’m looking for a program that will allow me to divide up a page into a sectioned template, then insert photos into those sections, sort of like a real photo frame that has cutouts for multiple pictures. I’d like to be able to zoom in and out on the photos and move them around as if they were “behind” the sections, without this affecting the template as I am working. I was thinking this would probably be an Adobe program of some sort, but am wondering which one.

    Thanks in advance.

    Photoshop CS4 or any earlier version is the best for this type of activity

    Especially if the user keeps the layers as “Smart Objects” so they don’t lose resolution.

    If you are planning to buy some software just to do that task and similar basic tasks like managing layers and such, maybe Photoshop is a bit expensive. If you are on the mac side you could try Pixelmator. Great app with rulers, layers an guides, just for $59.

    You can do this in Photoshop or in Illustrator, but there are countless other programs that have similar features, such as those in the AcDSee lineup. But I would suggest Photoshop or Illustraotr as your best bet.
