Add an image to a picture package by dragging the image from the desktop into a placeholder.
You can change any image in the layout by clicking a placeholder and browsing to select an image.
3 In the Document area of the Picture Package dialog box, select page size, layout, resolution, and color mode. A
thumbnail of the chosen layout appears on the right side of the dialog box. You can also create your own custom
layouts.
4 Select Flatten All Layers to create a picture package with all images and label text on a single layer. Deselect Flatten
All Layers to create a picture package with separate image layers and text layers (for labels). If you place each image
and label on a separate layer, you can update your picture package after it’s been saved. However, the layers increase
the file size of your picture package.
5 In the Label area, choose the source for label text from the Content menu or choose None. If you choose Custom
Text, enter the text for the label in the Custom Text field.
6 Specify font, font size, color, opacity, position, and rotation for the labels.
7 Click OK.
Customize a picture package layout
You can modify existing layouts or create new layouts using the Picture Package Edit Layout feature. Your custom
layouts are saved as text files and stored in the Layouts folder inside the Presets folder. You can then reuse your saved
layouts. The Picture Package Edit Layout feature uses a graphic interface that eliminates the need to write text files
to create or modify layouts.

• (Photoshop) Choose File > Automate > Picture Package.
• (Bridge) Choose Tools > Photoshop > Picture Package.
2 In the Picture Package dialog box, choose a layout from the Layout menu if you’re creating a layout or customizing
an existing one.
3 Click the Edit Layout button.
4 In the Picture Package Edit Layout dialog box, enter a name for the custom layout in the Name text box.
5 (Optional) In the Layout area of the Picture Package Edit Layout dialog box, choose a size from the Page Size menu
or enter values in the Width and Height text boxes. You can use the Units menu to specify inches, centimeters, pixels,
or millimeters.
