Initial Photography Quote Template Made Easy

E signature photography quote template

hey guys Ryan here at signature edits and today we're going to do a complete walkthrough of the signature edits photographer pricing guides I'm going to show you exactly how you make your changes and export it to a finished PDF so first off I just want to thank you for taking the time to look at this product and to download it for yourself I hope that is everything that you are hoping for and I know that it's going to take your branding to the next level when we started using these guides with our studio it definitely made a huge impression on our clients and separated us from all the other photographers out there who aren't doing something like this already okay so let's jump into it first things first you've already downloaded the file you have looked at the instructions I'm sure to see how you install the fonts and add them into Photoshop there are two free fonts that are used in this booklet we wanted to make sure that it was easy to access those and you didn't have to worry about purchasing any fonts so you can head to those links check out the tiny little text file that has those links in it follow those steps and then open up the pricing guide okay so you've got it in front of you right perfect so the first thing you're going to do is hit command a shift S or control shift S on a PC and you're going to save a copy so I'm going to Ryan's guide copy and the reason I'm doing this is because any changes I make from here I can always undo by going back to the original version of this booklet if I don't save it and I just overwrite the original booklet well then I might lose things and not have a backup later on so that is step one now let's take a look at our booklet you can see here that we've got all the pages in order and to see each next page all you have to do is just click these little eyeballs and go to the next layer so first things first you're going to want to choose which cover you want if you have the ultimate guide the light or the dark I'm going to stick with the dark for now so I'm just going to delete the light version and then I'm going to go through and I'm going to edit my info so let's say that today I am making a booklet for Ryan's photo studio and you don't have to have this as a wedding booklet you could use this perhaps is a travel photography guide photo studio travel pics perfect so you can see it's very easy and assuming it's no longer 2018 let's say 2019 photo price guide perfect now to Center this text again all you have to do is hit command a and it's going to select your entire canvas and make sure you are on the move tool you can do that by clicking V or just clicking this little guy here and then see these little icons you can use those to Center your text so that is Center from left to right and then this one will be centered vertically if you need that so I'm going to just make sure that all of my stuff is recenter perfect and move on to the next page so as you can see it's pretty straightforward you go in you change the text whatever you need it to be gary and louise and of course you would use real client testimonials here or you could also do a positive saying maybe or some kind of a love quote love quote and let's make one up right now love is great pics are awesome perfect and again I'm just going to hit command a make sure I've selected this whole canvas hit center oh well that's not going to Center it within this little white box is it it's going to Center it in the image so what do we do we hit the marquee box tool using M and then we can select this little white box here go back to our move tool and hit that and it'll Center the text within that new selection and love quote is not looking very centered so we're going to do the same thing alright that's looking better so as you can see you just go through page by page replace these images obviously with your own images don't use these ones we just wanted to keep them there because it can be really frustrating trying to see how visually things are going to look when you don't have any reference photos okay so let's say that I've gone through and I've adjusted all of the rest of these pages what do I do well first things first I'm going to have to save a new version of this remember we don't want to overwrite any of our changes Ryan's guide and we're going to call it Ryan's jpgs because that's what we're doing now perfect so once that's saved we can keep going I'm going to right-click on each of these layers one at a time and then click merge group and what that's going to do is it's going to take all the layers within that particular page and it's going to make them into just one flat layer and the reason we're doing this is because we're going to batch export all of these layers as JPEGs within Photoshop now obviously if you wanted to you could go file save as JPEG select it save it name it but that would be a long process so it's a way easier just to go through here merge all the groups then we're going to select them all go up to file export layers to files that's going to come up with a destination you can select wherever you want it to be I'm gonna call it Ryan's JPEGs in a new folder and if you want to name them something different you can let's say desk JPEGs quality set to 12 just so you have the max quality and then hit run so you can see that Photoshop is going through these layers one at a time and saving them as JPEGs perfect they've all been saved so now we can close this project I don't need to save that cuz that's just my JPEG version now the next step that I'm going to do is go up to file automate PDF presentation this is where the magic happens we're going to click browse and open up our folder here Ryan's JPEGs and you can see that Photoshop has automatically named them test JPEGs and they're in numbered order so we're going to select all of them hit open and click Save perfect so let's call it Ryan's guide book from here you can select whatever presets you like if you're printing them obviously select print I normally use these in emails so I'm going to hit smallest file size because I want to send them to clients through email great so you can mess with the rest of these if you want but I typically leave them exactly as is and the product comes out great so hit save PDF and you can see that Photoshop again is going through all of those now JPEGs and combining them into one PDF for you perfect now as fast now we can go here and where are we ryan's guidebook let's take a look perfect so we can see all our info is in there the way it should be all the JPEGs have been combined into one beautiful PDF and the file size actually isn't that big just 5.6 Meg's okay so I hope this was helpful for you if you have any other
