Matt offers a quick and easy way to make reusable print layouts for a group of photos.

Matt,
this one is a little hard for me to follow…something is missing for me. I am having a hard time making the shapes like you are and then Ctrl J, hold shift—-it is not copying like yours. It just want to make the shape again. what am I doing wrong. I looked at the video over and over. Ugggggg! LOL

Matt, I like your cheatsheets! I print them and keep them in a folder as a reference. I wish every other contributor would do them.

Thanks Matt,
Could you merge the clipping mask layers together to form one layer and then have a simlified three photo version template?
