How to use Hero Photo Templates

Описание: In this video, I walk through how to use Hero Photo Templates in Photoshop to create expressive, story-driven photo collages.

Hero templates are designed around one strong focal image—the “hero”—supported by smaller frames that help tell the rest of the story. Instead of rigid grids, these layouts feel organic, balanced, and artistic, while still being fast and easy to use.

You’ll see how the drag-and-drop workflow works, how to position images across multiple frames, and how to refine a collage until it feels intentional and complete. I’ll also demonstrate how optional artistic overlays can be used to subtly enhance mood, unify tones, or add visual interest—without overpowering your images.

This approach works especially well for storytelling photography, where a single image leads the viewer and supporting moments add context, emotion, and flow.


What this video covers:
• Drag-and-drop hero image workflow
• Building a strong focal point with supporting images
