Friday Freebie: 'Hip to be Square' Free Photoshop Template

by Tina Case Photography
With Instagram it became 'Hip to be Square.' The 4:6 ratio took a back seat to the 20 billion photos that have been uploaded by the 200 million active Instagram users.  It changed the way we framed the images in our daily lives.

I thought I would create a template that highlights a SQUARE photo in the center, but still highlights a few rectangle size photos too.

The images I am using are from a recent nature walk I took at Shoreline Park in Mt. View, California.

You will need to have working knowledge of Photoshop to use this template and clipping masks.  I always refer people to the wonderful blog The Coffee Shop Blog by Rita.  So frame away!

Free Instagram Template for your Favorite Shots

by Tina

Happy Chinese New Year! With this being the Year of the Dragon we have a free Photoshop template for our readers!

I've been on a bit of an Instgram kick ever since my hubby bought these -> new lenses from Photojojo. Since every photo you post on Instagram is square, just like Polaroid snapshots, I thought I would make a new template to share with all you Instafans out there.

You can replace the text in the upper middle square, or even replace it with another image.  I am planning on making a series of these using a theme with similar colors, shapes and face shots.

If you like this, leave a comment.  Tell us what other template you would like and we'll try to come up with some more to provide for everyone.
