Creating My Gallery Print

April 15th, 2011 by jeff

The other day I posted some pics on my Facebook page of a gallery poster that I had printed at Mpix. I was really just showing off what a great job they do of printing and shipping (I just love how they flat-ship everything) but I got a lot of questions about the print itself. Quite a few of you asked if I would show how I actually created the gallery print so today I am posting a real quick tutorial to show you just that. It’s almost as easy as getting it printed at Mpix.

Just in case you were wondering, I have no affilliation with Mpix, I just think they do a fantastic job and highly recommend them.

A couple of things about the video. First, I apologize for the audio quality. I didn’t have my normal microphone setup so there’s a little extra breathing/wind noise. Second, to really get the best view be sure to watch it in 720p HD mode and expand it to full screen. It looks sweet!

    Jeff, You make learning new things so easy… love the center and matting tricks here. Thank you so so much. I’m sure my photo groups will love your technique too. Have a great weekend.

    I liked your tutorial on creating gallery style prints. I actually did a tutorial on creating the same type of print but with step by step photo guides last month on my blog. By the way, I’m also a big fan of photowalks and I’m looking forward to this years.

    Great tutorial!!! Quick question though and it may sound silly but I wasn’t quite sure when you chose the size in CS5 are you picking the size of the picture or the overall size with your gallery mat? Thanks!

      Generally I am going to pick the output size to match the frame size I am looking to fill. With the gallery-style images, there is no need for a mat since the image already looks like it it matted. I usually try to go with commercially available frmaes to keep the costs down so a 16×20 will have an actual image area of around 11×14. I have quite a few of these haning around my house.

        Thanks! Great tutorial! I don’t have CS5 yet and this actually worked in my CS3.
