Q: liveagoodlife > What software do you use to put your storyboards together or write on your pictures? They look great! 

A: Thanks!!!

In between all the computers in my life, I have (ready?) Photoshop Elements, Photoshop CS, Photoshop CS3, CS4 and (soon, I’m looking at you A.) CS5. There is also Lightroom 2 and 3, Picassa, Picnik and a host of other layout-related software from the media industry (InDesign, Illustrator, QuarkXPress)…

Dizzying, yes. I could care less about most of them, and know others who could care less about what I use because they too have their preferences. I may have all of the above clogging valuable disk space (I’m a virtual hoarder, apparently) but I always go back to Photoshop Elements and CS4. 

To work on the storyboards in any Photoshop application, you’re going to work with layers and eventually merge them all together. Make sure your rulers are visual to keep everything even and well spaced! 

I’ve yet to attempt this project in with any of my other applications; when I do, I’ll report back!

Hope that helps!
