Is there a way to create a "template" in photoshop where anyone in the shop can drop pictures into a preset background without having to resize the original openings? I know they'll have to resize the photo but something like locking a layer then locking it into the foreground so the variable picture is always behind and needs to be edited from there.

Thanks for the help

This is more an InDesign question. Do you have that program? I'm thinking you have CS, but maybe not.

Do you know how to use InDesign? It isn't that hard to figure out.

Photoshop isn't really designed for this purpose.

Thanks budster I'll look at it. I have a Photo lab and all we use (correctly) is Photoshop. I'll look into InDesign and whether it saves as JPG's or whatever. I think we also have RasterPlus so that may RIP any other format to our DLABs.

Thanks again for the help.
