Turn Your Digital Pictures Into a Photo Strip. A long time ago, there were these things called photo booths. Here's how it worked: You'd go to the mall and sit in a small booth obscured by a curtain, where you would get your picture taken a half dozen times by a built- in camera. Then results would emerge moments later as a series of snapshots on a long strip.
Of course, I'm exaggerating- -photo booths are alive and well in places like arcades, carnivals, and shopping malls. And even if (like me) you've never stepped foot inside one, you certainly know what I'm talking about- -the concept is deeply embedded in our culture. Some time ago, I described how to make something called a Life Strip, which looked sort of like the photo strip that comes out of a photo booth, but this week, let's do the real deal. It is crazy simple to make an authentic- looking photo booth strip, and the effect is instantly recognizable.

Make a Blank Photo Strip. As you know, the photo strip that emerges from a photo booth is long and narrow, with a series of pictures printed on it, like the example linked on the left. If you want your photo strip to look more authentic, you can pose your subject (or subjects) in front of a plain background. For our project, we'll make a strip based on photos that use a 4 by 5 aspect ratio. For the sake of simplicity, let's work in inches, so that's 4 by 5 inches. And since our strip will feature four photos, the overall strip will need to be 4 by 2.

You could easily make a six- photo variation; if you do that, make it 3. You can create this project in most any image editing program, but I'll use Adobe Photoshop Elements. To get started, let's make the strip itself.
In Photoshop Elements, choose File, New, Blank File. Change the units from pixels to inches, and set the width to 4 and the height to 2. The resolution box determines how large the image will be in pixels. If you plan to keep the finished project on the PC, 7. If you want to print the film strip, set it to 3. Click OK. Insert the First Photo.
Now it's time to populate the blank film strip with some photos. If you want to make the project look authentic, you'll want a series of related photos, such as four shots of someone in slightly different poses and expressions, against the same background. The photos should also be head- and- shoulder shots, since photo booths are typically sitting- room- only affairs.

But that said, it's your film strip. Choose any photos you like. Open the first photo in Photoshop Elements. Before we go any further, be sure that you can see both the photo and the film strip, side by side. If necessary, click the Restore Window button in the upper right corner of the photo's window to take it out of full screen mode, which should allow you to see all the open images in Photoshop Elements at the same time. The next order of business is to crop the photo to the correct aspect ratio. Click the Crop tool (tenth tool from the top of the toolbar) and configure it in the Tool Options palette at the top of the screen.

Try This: Make Photo Booth Strips with. I used our Party Party app to group the images by fours into photo booth. Photos edited with the A Beautiful Mess.
Set the aspect ratio to custom, set the width and height to 4 and 5 respectively, and set the resolution to whatever you chose for the film strip (7. Now drag a crop box in the photo.
It should automatically form a 4 by 5 box, perfect for the film strip. Size and compose it in the photo to suit your taste, and accept the edit by clicking the checkbox. Click the Move tool (the very first item in the toolbar) and then drag and drop the cropped photo into the film strip. After it appears in the film strip (probably somewhere in the middle), reposition it at the top. It should tend to magnetically . Photoshop remembers your crop settings, so you shouldn't have to change anything in the Tool Options palette. When you add the second photo to the strip, use the Move tool to position it directly under the first photo.
Then add the third and fourth photos in the same way. When you're done, you should have a strip filled with photos, like the one linked to the left. Add a Border. We're almost done. Because old- time snapshots always had those quaint white borders around the edges, our final step is to add a similar border to each of our photos. To do that, choose Edit, Stroke (Outline) Selection from the menu.
In the Stroke dialog box, click the color box and choose white from the color picker. Set the location to Inside, and you can leave the blending mode set to normal and the opacity at 1. We do need to choose the width, however, and that will vary depending upon the resolution of the photos and film strip. If you used 7. 2, try a width of about 1. You should see an outline appear around the currently selected photo- -probably the very bottom one. The last step: Repeat the process for each of the remaining photos. Click another photo, choose Edit, Stroke (Outline) Selection, and click OK.
Do that two more times and you have a complete photo booth strip. And you never had to visit the mall to do it. Hot Pic of the Week. Get published, get famous!
