A few weeks ago, I posted a tip about using one photo across multiple \u201cspots\u201d<\/a><\/strong> on a layout. I hope you had some fun experimenting with this technique. I know I have found myself using it more again lately. I recently purchased a set of templates that gave me an excuse to play a bit more and I thought I\u2019d share\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanning Many Spots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As I mentioned, I recently purchased a new set of templates (featured image above), mostly because they were on sale for half-price. But I also had an idea about which photos I planned to use in making a set of pages about my grandkids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then low and behold I got a lovely lakeside photo from the Labor Day weekend that gave me another idea altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Lake<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Take a look at the template preview image below. Notice the very obvious photo spots to the right and left of the page? See all the \u201cblank\u201d space in between those spots with journaling? Well, that\u2019s how I got my inspiration to use this template for that new lakeside photo.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Whimsical<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

All I had to do was create a mask to fill the \u201cempty\u201d space between the existing photo spots. I then pulled the photo into the template, resized it to cover the full width of the page, duplicated the photo 3 times & clipped them to their respective spots. And if you\u2019re not sure how to do this just refer back to the prior post I mentioned at the beginning of this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s the result:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"September<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In addition to clipping the photo to the new mask I had created I also changed the opacity of the mask layer so it would mute that \u201cfiller\u201d photo just a tad. This allowed the other photos to be more vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have to admit\u2026I really love how this turned out. And you know what I\u2019d love even more? If you\u2019ve played with this \u201cspanning photo spots\u201d technique, I\u2019d love to see your layout showing how you used one photo to cover more than one photo spot. All you have to do is comment on this post & include your layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> For the above layout I used the featured template and products from \u201cIvory Pumpkins\u201d by Alexis Design Studio (retired). For more details about this layout, you can find it in my 2023 Personal Gallery<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Simple Tips For Spanning Many Spots<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"Think<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to fill up some empty space in a template by using a mask to help span one photo over multiple areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experiment with changing the opacity level on the \u201cfiller\u201d photo. This helps the \u201cframed\u201d photos stand out and pop off the page a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be sure to link all copies of your photo together. This will make it easier to move, resize or rotate the \u201cgroup\u201d as a single unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
