Hi everyone, here’s the screencast I promised that shows how to use Pugly Pixel’s blog photo templates. I’m using Blog Photo Templates (Part 7) in the demo, but you can watch this video and apply what you learn to customize the other photo templates you may already have.
In addition to learning how to use the templates, you will learn how to do other basic operations in Adobe Photoshop:
- use clipping masks
- resize images
- add and resize text
- layers and visibility
- layer styles (ie. drop shadows and borders)
- resize a document
- save for the web
If you haven’t done so already, you’re welcome to download the latest freebie, Blog Photo Templates (Part 7).
Best viewed fullscreen, HD.

Thank you for the music, Noel Stephen & the Darlings!

Thank you so much for posting another song, Katrina! And thanks for the great tutorial, too.

Katrina, thanks so much for posting this! I’m new to photoshop and found your tutorial so helpful! I’ve already used some of your templates on my blog. If I can do it: (http://shecollects.blogspot.com/2011/09/sun-and-song-photo-shoot.html) anyone can :).
Echoing Hannah above, yes, those donuts look delicious – wouldn’t have thunk it!
I finally got to watch the video!! Thanks so much for taking the time to make it! (I’m using GIMP bc I don’t have photoshop but a lot of this is still applicable!) :o)
Thanks it’s so perfect! I’m going to use that for my future/new blog but in the meantime, I already used it to demonstrate to the haidresser what I wanted with examples an he was impressed! Thank you!
thank you katrina! i’m head over heels in love with your blog!
Thank you so much for your tutorials. I have CS3 and only had a basic basic class where I didn’t learn anything! Your tutorial really helped me out. I’m so excited because I’m using one of your templates for tomorrow’s post. Thank you!!!
The templates aside, those pins are super super cute.
Love it! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Thank you so much !!!! I love it :D
