PSD file structure for Photo Card product

Layout and Naming Convenstions
Build your Photoshop Design File with the following layers, in the order provided, using the names
provided.
1) Usertext_Name OPTIONAL – You can have multiple Usertext layers in your card design. Each Usertext
layer allows customers to add their own text. Fill the Usertext field with name of the field. Usertext
layers cannot extend into the trim line area. Use the filed name in the layer Name after "Usertext_".
As an example the layer named Usertext_Company Name will show the text "Company Name" as a
place holder into the graphic preview.
Place holder text will not be printed.
If you create multiple Usertext layers, make sure all names are different.
2) Overlay REQUIRED – You can have only one Overlay layer in your card design. The Overlay layer is the
artwork layer. Place your design into the Overlay layer. The photo opening in your Overlay layer must
be transparent. If the design you import contains multiple layers, you must merge those layers into the
single Overlay layer. The Overlay layer must bleed into the trim line area.
3) Userphoto10 OPTIONAL – You can have only one Userphoto layer in your design. The Userphoto layer
allows customers to supply a photo. The Photo Editing software resizes the photo to fit the dimensions
you set in the Userphoto layer. Fill the Userphoto field with 60% solid grey. The layer must use the
name Userphoto10.
4) Background REQUIRED – You create an initial Background layer when you create the new file in
Photoshop. The Background layer must be white. If you want to provide color in your design, provide it
within the Overlay layer.
5) Specialphoto_Logo OPTIONAL – You can have one Logo layer in your design. If the Specialphoto_Logo
layer is present, the default logo image will be used for the card. It will be possible to select or change
the logo into card preview page. Fill the Specialphoto_Logo field with 60% solid grey.
