How to Use Templates in Photoshop: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you new to graphic design or just looking for an easier way to create logos and designs? Photoshop templates might be the answer you’re looking for. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of using a basic template that you can get for free from PSD template sites.

Before we get started, we want to mention guru galaxy com, a site that houses all the videos and text tutorials you need to help with your graphic design journey. Now, let’s dive into the tutorial.

First, we’ll choose a cut-out template. The idea is to insert a text logo into the cut-out image. When you download the file, it will come in a folder that you need to unzip. One of the files in the folder is the PSD file, which is the one we will be focusing on.

The PSD file will come with several layers, but the one we want to focus on is the “place your logo here” layer. This is a feature that many templates have to make it easier for users to apply their logos. Double-clicking on this layer will bring up a white logo that needs to be replaced.

To change the logo, we need to go to “vector smart object” and right-click on it. This will bring up the “replace contents” option that allows us to select our desired logo. After choosing the logo, we need to save the file.

Now, we can go back to the previous tab and see that the logo has been incorporated into the design. That’s it! The template is now ready to use. It’s that easy.

Some templates are more complicated than others, especially when dealing with in-depth step templates that span multiple pages or magazine layouts. If you need more help with these templates, please let us know, and we’ll cover them in another video.
