Layout Presets

These layouts were designed for the Picture Package feature in Adobe Photoshop Elements. To use them, drop them in the Layouts folder in the Presets folder of the application before starting Elements.

The layouts can be downloaded in a number of file formats.

Digital Camera Ratio Layouts

The layouts are for 8 x 10 inch paper (standard letter size plus room for printer margins) and all image ratios are the same 4:3 that is common for many digital photos.

There are eight layouts with the following image sizes:

Layout 1 Layout 2 Layout 3 Layout 4
One 7.5" x 10" One 6" x 8" One 6" x 8", one 3" x 4", two 1.5" x 2" Two 4.5" x 6"

Book Pages Layouts

The layouts are for either for Pamphlet/Codex bindings (double page) or for Binders/Stab bindings (left-hand and right-hand pages). All paper sizes assume a half inch of printer margin in each direction, so an "8 x 10" layout below will be sized to have a "7 x 9" print area.

Layout 1 Layout 2 Layout 3 Layout 4
