Hi,

Well, a good place to start is to search on the forum itself as 'Paul' and others have made templates available for a number of items. Photoshop Elements is great software but like most software packages it does take some learning. Well to get three whole mug templates you probably need to create an A4 working image (297mm x 210mm) and then use guidelines to mark out 3 mug templates of say 190mm wide x 80mm tall evenly spaced down the sheet. Then it is just a matter of placing your images inside the 190mm x 80mm sections.

Thanks for the advice , it's a great forum been browsing over the last week or so , I got photoshop but it seems way to complicated for me . I will give what you said a go and see how I get on

I use Elements 10 and open a A4 blank sheet then place the photos within the guidelines as suggested by WorthDoingRight - never had any problems or complaints.

Personally I'd find this easier in CorelDraw

Welcome to the forum Photoshop is a great package but very complicated to learn everything. You'll soon findlay how to do what you want as that part is straightforward. Have a search for iTunes videos as well so the basics in photoshop.

I also like Coreldraw personally, but it may be worth also downloading other free programmes to try such as The Gimp, paint.net, inkscape. Sometimes you just take to one quicker than another!
