Kev, you are amazing! Can you elaborate on the Distribute tool?

I keep practicing on background paper, but I sure don't have it down like you do! :D:D:D

[kevq]

Carol,
thank you.
The distribute is in my humble opinion simply wonderful.
Say you have a photo on a background and you wish to place 3 copies across the width of the page. Place the original in position and then Control J 3 times. You will now have 4 Layers each with the same photo.
Click on the top layer and using the move tool drag it across the page into the position you want. Now shift click on the bottom layer, all layers will be linked.
Click on the Distribute icon and click on say Left Edges and the photos will be placed equidistant on the page.
It takes a little practice but is worth the effort.
Kev.

Kev, I'll give it a try. I'm filling my notebook up real quick with all of the neat techniques I am learning on this site. The forum is great with people sharing ideas. :)

[kevq]

Carol,
it just needs a little practice. I hate to think of the mistakes I made when I first tried it.

Hi Kev: That's a really nice layout. I had not heard of the distribute tool before. I think I'm going to start a list of reasons to upgrade from PSE4.

[kevq]

Julie,
Thanks, pleased that you like it.
I loved 4 but found 5 even better, now I'm thinking of 6 but would probably keep 5 on my PC as well.

Kev, yet another beautiful job. Every time I see your work I say "that one's your best" and then I see your next best one! Harvey

Kev, I do believe that this one is my favotite!

[swalkr]

Hey Kev. Never knew you liked cats! :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Again a great one!

[annc]

Wow - I love it! That centre cat is stunning and I love the one top right as well.

The paper is excellent as well. For those of us still on 4, could we lay it out manually after duplicating layers?

Wendy,
thanks, glad you like it,
Kev.

[kevq]

Ann,
pleased you like it.
Yes you can do it manually. Lay out say 4 images using the grid, then merge those into one layer and duplicate it the number of times you want and drag each layer into place.
