What happens when you combine a “Cross” technique with a 5 Across technique
A few weeks back Matt Kloskowski of Photoshop Lightroom Killer Tips demonstrated a technique for simulating a Pano by creating a Lightroom Template he called 5 Across. See previous post
Well, this weekend, I was revisiting Dave Cross’s book - Photoshop Finishing Touches
and I ran across Dave’s technique for creating a film strip effect. I said to myself - “Self, that effect could be combined with Matt Kloskowski 5 Across technique and the framing techniques that I created …..” (3 Across or more)
I do realize that Photoshop can be used to create the same effect using Smart Objects to replace the contents, however I find Lightroom’s cataloging much easier to navigate and besides I did it just for the fun of trying.
Here is the template - Download Film Strip Template
One more thing that I am discovering about using these type of templates within Lightroom. Due to the size of the “overlays” used to simulate frames and the type of template present here, I’m finding that the load time on the print module can slow down a little. I would suggest that if you find a particular template that you like within a larger group of templates load only that template and load others on an as needed basis.
Thanks
