We do not recommend doing your entire layout in Photoshop. Photoshop is great for manipulating photos and creating special effects, but it is not a page-layout program, and does not provide us with some of the tools necessary in our publishing environment.

If you must supply your entire design in Photoshop, we have provided a PDF in the template download. You can open the PDF into Photoshop. It is VERY IMPORTANT when you open the PDF that your color mode is CMYK and the resolution is 300ppi. The template and guides will come in as a layer. When you add your art add it on a new layer (do not add it on the layer with the template info). Please send us layered Photoshop documents rather than flattened files, with any text layers still editable, and all necessary fonts. If you do choose to flatten the document you will have to be aware of the guides from the template. If you flatten the guides into your artwork we will not be able to remove them. Text set in Photoshop may not print with the same clarity as text set in any of our supported layout or illustration programs.
