Clipping Masks

Just a quick tidbit- I've gotten several emails and I want to clarify. These templates use clipping masks. You DO NOT have to crop your photos before hand, you merely drag them onto the template layer you want to fill, create the clipping mask (detailed instructions with screenshots are provided for those that haven't done this yet), and can free-transform+shift so that the portion of the photo you want showing is visible.

Think of clipping masks as two parts. The background (comes white) is like a big blanket covering everything. The colored boxes are holes that allow your photos to show through. So if you use an 8x10 ratio photo in an 5x7 box you DO NOT have to crop it to the correct ratio beforehand, just know that the other part of the photo will be "hidden"
