Customize a picture package layout

You can modify existing layouts or create new layouts using the Picture Package Edit Layout feature. 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.
1. Do one of the following:
(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.
