Quick Tip: Create a “Transfarmers” Text Effect Using Layer Styles in Photoshop​

Tutorial Assets
The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial.
Transformers Solid font
Dark Metal texture from Texturemate.com
Brushed Metal Pattern


Step 1

Make a new .PSD document, 1000 x 500 pixels, RGB color, 100 dpi and grey background (color #33333). Create a new layer and fill it with brushed metal pattern from tutorial assets section (any metal texture will do though). Now using the Blending Options, fill this layer with a Light Blue color and set the blending options to “Overlay”. Finally if you want you can add a gradient that include several white and grey tones, with a bright area in order to create a better effect for the background.

Step 2

Now create the text using this font: Transformers Solid. Use these settings: 70 pt – Anti-Alias: Sharp. Now rename this text: “3D”. Then go in the menu Layer > Layer Styles > Blending Options and use these settings:

Step 3

Duplicate the text and rename it “Base”. Right click on his layer and click to “Clear Layer Style” or in the Styles Palette click on the first style “Default style (None)” (It’s the same thing). Now move this text slightly to the right in order to create a “pseudo 3D effect” with the text below (Look the Step image). Then go in the menu Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options and use these settings: [/COLOR

Step 4

Duplicate the text “Base”. Right click on his layer and click to “Clear Layer Style”. In the Blending Options menu on the right set the fill to 0%. Now and use these settings in the menu Layer > Layer Style > Blending Options:

Step 5

Your text effect is almost completed. Now we have to create a text reflection. Insert all 3 levels of the text effect in a group. Duplicate this group. Right click on it and click to “Convert To Smart Object”. Right click on it again and click to “Rasterize Layer”. Then go in menu Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical. Now move it as the image shown and then with the Eraser Tool delete as long as you want in order to create a realistic reflection. Finally to make the text effect nicer I added some sparks with simple brushes and color lights with soft brushes.

Ayan tapos na tayo 5 easy steps lang ..​

Faded Pixels Photo Border Effect In Photoshop

Step 1: Duplicate The Background Layer

With the photo newly opened in Photoshop, let's begin by making a copy of the image so we can leave the original untouched in case we ever need it again. If we look in the Layers panel, we see that we're starting with just the original photo sitting on the Background layer:

To quickly duplicate the layer, press Ctrl+J (Win) / Command+J (Mac) on your keyboard. Photoshop makes a copy of the layer, names the copy "Layer 1", and places it above the original:

Step 2: Add A White Solid Color Fill Layer Between The Existing Layers

Select the Background layer by clicking on it in the Layers panel:

With the Background layer selected, click on the New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Choose a Solid Color fill layer from the top of the list that appears:

We're going to use this Solid Color fill layer as the background color for our effect. Photoshop will pop open the Color Picker so we can choose the color we want. Choose white for now, either by clicking on white in the top left corner of the color selection box on the left or by entering 255 for the R, G and B values near the bottom center of the dialog box. At the end of the tutorial, we'll learn how we can easily change the background color, but white will do for now:

Click OK when you're done to close out of the Color Picker. We won't be able to see the white background color just yet in the document, but if we look again in the Layers panel, we see the new Solid Color fill layer, which Photoshop has named "Color Fill 1", sitting between Layer 1 and the Background layer:

Step 3: Add A Black-Filled Layer Mask To Layer 1

Click on Layer 1 in the Layers panel to select it:

With Layer 1 selected, press and hold the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key on your keyboard and click on the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

This adds a layer mask to Layer 1, and because we held down the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key as we clicked on the Layer Mask icon, Photoshop filled the layer mask with black, which completely hides the photo on the layer from view. We can see the black-filled layer mask thumbnail on Layer 1 in the Layers panel:

With the photo on Layer 1 hidden, we can now see the white Solid Color fill layer in the document:

Step 4: Duplicate Layer 1 Three Times

Press Ctrl+J (Win) / Command+J (Mac) on your keyboard three times to make three more copies of Layer 1. We won't be able to see anything happening in the document window, but when you're done, you should have four copies of the photo, each with its own black-filled layer mask, sitting above the Solid Color fill layer in the Layers panel:

Step 5: Select The Brush Tool

Select Photoshop's Brush Tool from the Tools panel:

Step 6: Load The Square Brushes Set

We're going to use one of Photoshop's brushes to create our pixel effect, but the brush we need isn't loaded in for us by default so we first need to load it manually. With the Brush Tool selected, right-click (Win) / Control-click (Mac) anywhere inside the document to quickly open the Brush Picker, then click on the small arrow icon in the top right corner:

This opens a menu with various options, including a list at the bottom of additional brush sets we can load in. Choose the Square Brushes set:

With the new brushes loaded, scroll through the brush thumbnails in the Brush Picker until you come to the square brushes (which should be at the very bottom of the list). Double-click on the 24 pixel square brush to select it and close out of the Brush Picker:
Step 7: Set The Brush Size Jitter To 100%

Press the F5 key on your keyboard to quickly open Photoshop's main Brushes panel, then click directly on the words Shape Dynamics on the left side of the panel. Make sure you click on the words themselves, not just in the checkbox to the left of the words:

Increase the Size Jitter option all the way to 100%, which will create randomly-sized squares as we paint with the brush. Make sure the Minimum Diameter option is set to 0%, and that the Angle Jitter and Roundness Jitter options are also set to 0%:

Step 8: Add Scattering To The Brush

Click directly on the word Scattering below Shape Dynamics on the left side of the Brushes panel. Again, make sure you click on the word itself, not inside the checkbox:

Increase the Scatter value to around 700% or so, which will scatter the squares as we paint. Select the Both Axes option by clicking inside its checkbox, then make sure the Count option is set to 1 and Count Jitter is set to 0%. When you're done, press F5 again on your keyboard to close out of the Brushes panel:

Step 9: Select The Top Layer's Mask

With our square brush ready to go, click on the top layer's mask thumbnail in the Layers panel. This way, we'll be painting on the layer mask itself, not on the photo. A white highlight box will appear around the thumbnail letting you know the mask is selected:

Step 10: Paint Over The Main Areas Of The Photo

Make sure the Opacity value for the top layer is set to 100%, which it should be by default:
Also, before you start painting, press the letter D on your keyboard to quickly make sure your Foreground and Background colors are set to their defaults of white (Foreground color) and black (Background color). Photoshop uses the Foreground color as the color of the brush, and we want to be sure we're painting on the layer mask with white so we can reveal the photo as we paint:

With the square brush in hand, the layer opacity set to 100% and your Foreground color set to white, begin painting over just the main, important areas of your photo. Of course, since all we can see at the moment is the solid white background, you'll need to take a "best guess" at where these important areas are. If you don't get it right the first time, simply press Ctrl+Z (Win) / Command+Z (Mac) to undo your brush stroke, then try again.

As you paint, you'll see the photo appearing through a series of randomly-sized and scattered squares, creating the first stages of our pixel effect:

If you're not happy with the size of your square brush, press Ctrl+Z (Win) / Command+Z (Mac) to undo the brush stroke (or press Ctrl+Alt+Z (Win) / Command+Option+Z (Mac) repeatedly to undo multiple brush strokes), then resize your brush using the left and right bracket keys on your keyboard. Each time you press the left bracket key ( [ ), you'll make the brush a bit smaller, while the right bracket key ( ] ) will make it larger. Begin painting again once you're happy with the brush size.

Continue painting over the main part(s) of your image. Here's my document so far. Normally, I would make my brush size a bit smaller than what I'm using here, which would give me smaller squares, but smaller squares could be hard to see in the screenshots so for the sake of this tutorial, I'm leaving the brush set to its original 24 pixel size:

Step 11: Select The Layer Mask On The Next Layer

Click on the mask thumbnail for the layer directly below the top layer. Again, a white highlight border will appear around the thumbnail letting you know the layer mask is selected:

Step 12: Lower The Layer's Opacity To 70%

Lower the Opacity value for this layer down to around 70%:

Step 13: Paint Around The Initial Area To Reveal More Of The Photo

With the layer's opacity lowered, paint around the initial area to reveal more of the photo. Since the layer's opacity is set to only 70%, this new area will appear a bit faded compared to the previous area we painted over:

Step 14: Select The Next Layer's Mask

Click on the mask thumbnail for the third layer from the top:

Step 15: Lower The Layer's Opacity To 35%

Lower the opacity for this third layer down to around 35%:

Step 16: Paint To Reveal More Of The Photo

Continue painting around the previous area to reveal more of the photo. This new area will appear even more faded than the last thanks to the 35% opacity value:

Step 17: Select The Next Layer's Mask

Finally, click on the original Layer 1's mask thumbnail to select it:

Step 18: Lower The Layer's Opacity To 10%

Lower the opacity of Layer 1 all the way down to 10% or so:

Step 19: Paint In The Remaining Areas Of The Photo

Paint inside the remaining white areas around the image to reveal the rest of it. This last part will appear very faint with the layer's opacity at only 10%:

Step 20: Change The Background Color (Optional)

At this point, the effect is complete, but if you want to change the background color to something other than white, just double-click on the color swatch for the Solid Color fill layer in the Layers panel:

This will re-open the Color Picker. You can select a new color from the Color Picker, but what I like to do is sample a color directly from the image itself. To do that, with the Color Picker still open, move your mouse cursor over the image. You'll see your cursor temporarily change into the Eyedropper Tool icon. Click on an area of the image that contains the color you want for your background. I'll click on an area in the woman's forehead:

Click OK when you're done to close out of the Color Picker. The Solid Color fill layer instantly updates to the newly sampled color, giving us our new background color for the effect:

Faded Pixels Photo Border Effect In Photoshop

Step 1: Duplicate The Background Layer

With the photo newly opened in Photoshop, let's begin by making a copy of the image so we can leave the original untouched in case we ever need it again. If we look in the Layers panel, we see that we're starting with just the original photo sitting on the Background layer:

To quickly duplicate the layer, press Ctrl+J (Win) / Command+J (Mac) on your keyboard. Photoshop makes a copy of the layer, names the copy "Layer 1", and places it above the original:

Step 2: Add A White Solid Color Fill Layer Between The Existing Layers

Select the Background layer by clicking on it in the Layers panel:

With the Background layer selected, click on the New Fill or Adjustment Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Choose a Solid Color fill layer from the top of the list that appears:

We're going to use this Solid Color fill layer as the background color for our effect. Photoshop will pop open the Color Picker so we can choose the color we want. Choose white for now, either by clicking on white in the top left corner of the color selection box on the left or by entering 255 for the R, G and B values near the bottom center of the dialog box. At the end of the tutorial, we'll learn how we can easily change the background color, but white will do for now:

Click OK when you're done to close out of the Color Picker. We won't be able to see the white background color just yet in the document, but if we look again in the Layers panel, we see the new Solid Color fill layer, which Photoshop has named "Color Fill 1", sitting between Layer 1 and the Background layer:

Step 3: Add A Black-Filled Layer Mask To Layer 1

Click on Layer 1 in the Layers panel to select it:

With Layer 1 selected, press and hold the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key on your keyboard and click on the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

This adds a layer mask to Layer 1, and because we held down the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key as we clicked on the Layer Mask icon, Photoshop filled the layer mask with black, which completely hides the photo on the layer from view. We can see the black-filled layer mask thumbnail on Layer 1 in the Layers panel:

With the photo on Layer 1 hidden, we can now see the white Solid Color fill layer in the document:

Step 4: Duplicate Layer 1 Three Times

Press Ctrl+J (Win) / Command+J (Mac) on your keyboard three times to make three more copies of Layer 1. We won't be able to see anything happening in the document window, but when you're done, you should have four copies of the photo, each with its own black-filled layer mask, sitting above the Solid Color fill layer in the Layers panel:

Step 5: Select The Brush Tool

Select Photoshop's Brush Tool from the Tools panel:

Step 6: Load The Square Brushes Set

We're going to use one of Photoshop's brushes to create our pixel effect, but the brush we need isn't loaded in for us by default so we first need to load it manually. With the Brush Tool selected, right-click (Win) / Control-click (Mac) anywhere inside the document to quickly open the Brush Picker, then click on the small arrow icon in the top right corner:

This opens a menu with various options, including a list at the bottom of additional brush sets we can load in. Choose the Square Brushes set:

With the new brushes loaded, scroll through the brush thumbnails in the Brush Picker until you come to the square brushes (which should be at the very bottom of the list). Double-click on the 24 pixel square brush to select it and close out of the Brush Picker:
Step 7: Set The Brush Size Jitter To 100%

Press the F5 key on your keyboard to quickly open Photoshop's main Brushes panel, then click directly on the words Shape Dynamics on the left side of the panel. Make sure you click on the words themselves, not just in the checkbox to the left of the words:

Increase the Size Jitter option all the way to 100%, which will create randomly-sized squares as we paint with the brush. Make sure the Minimum Diameter option is set to 0%, and that the Angle Jitter and Roundness Jitter options are also set to 0%:

Step 8: Add Scattering To The Brush

Click directly on the word Scattering below Shape Dynamics on the left side of the Brushes panel. Again, make sure you click on the word itself, not inside the checkbox:

Increase the Scatter value to around 700% or so, which will scatter the squares as we paint. Select the Both Axes option by clicking inside its checkbox, then make sure the Count option is set to 1 and Count Jitter is set to 0%. When you're done, press F5 again on your keyboard to close out of the Brushes panel:

Step 9: Select The Top Layer's Mask

With our square brush ready to go, click on the top layer's mask thumbnail in the Layers panel. This way, we'll be painting on the layer mask itself, not on the photo. A white highlight box will appear around the thumbnail letting you know the mask is selected:

Step 10: Paint Over The Main Areas Of The Photo

Make sure the Opacity value for the top layer is set to 100%, which it should be by default:
Also, before you start painting, press the letter D on your keyboard to quickly make sure your Foreground and Background colors are set to their defaults of white (Foreground color) and black (Background color). Photoshop uses the Foreground color as the color of the brush, and we want to be sure we're painting on the layer mask with white so we can reveal the photo as we paint:

With the square brush in hand, the layer opacity set to 100% and your Foreground color set to white, begin painting over just the main, important areas of your photo. Of course, since all we can see at the moment is the solid white background, you'll need to take a "best guess" at where these important areas are. If you don't get it right the first time, simply press Ctrl+Z (Win) / Command+Z (Mac) to undo your brush stroke, then try again.

As you paint, you'll see the photo appearing through a series of randomly-sized and scattered squares, creating the first stages of our pixel effect:

If you're not happy with the size of your square brush, press Ctrl+Z (Win) / Command+Z (Mac) to undo the brush stroke (or press Ctrl+Alt+Z (Win) / Command+Option+Z (Mac) repeatedly to undo multiple brush strokes), then resize your brush using the left and right bracket keys on your keyboard. Each time you press the left bracket key ( [ ), you'll make the brush a bit smaller, while the right bracket key ( ] ) will make it larger. Begin painting again once you're happy with the brush size.

Continue painting over the main part(s) of your image. Here's my document so far. Normally, I would make my brush size a bit smaller than what I'm using here, which would give me smaller squares, but smaller squares could be hard to see in the screenshots so for the sake of this tutorial, I'm leaving the brush set to its original 24 pixel size:

Step 11: Select The Layer Mask On The Next Layer

Click on the mask thumbnail for the layer directly below the top layer. Again, a white highlight border will appear around the thumbnail letting you know the layer mask is selected:

Step 12: Lower The Layer's Opacity To 70%

Lower the Opacity value for this layer down to around 70%:

Step 13: Paint Around The Initial Area To Reveal More Of The Photo

With the layer's opacity lowered, paint around the initial area to reveal more of the photo. Since the layer's opacity is set to only 70%, this new area will appear a bit faded compared to the previous area we painted over:

Step 14: Select The Next Layer's Mask

Click on the mask thumbnail for the third layer from the top:

Step 15: Lower The Layer's Opacity To 35%

Lower the opacity for this third layer down to around 35%:

Step 16: Paint To Reveal More Of The Photo

Continue painting around the previous area to reveal more of the photo. This new area will appear even more faded than the last thanks to the 35% opacity value:

Step 17: Select The Next Layer's Mask

Finally, click on the original Layer 1's mask thumbnail to select it:

Step 18: Lower The Layer's Opacity To 10%

Lower the opacity of Layer 1 all the way down to 10% or so:

Step 19: Paint In The Remaining Areas Of The Photo

Paint inside the remaining white areas around the image to reveal the rest of it. This last part will appear very faint with the layer's opacity at only 10%:

Step 20: Change The Background Color (Optional)

At this point, the effect is complete, but if you want to change the background color to something other than white, just double-click on the color swatch for the Solid Color fill layer in the Layers panel:

This will re-open the Color Picker. You can select a new color from the Color Picker, but what I like to do is sample a color directly from the image itself. To do that, with the Color Picker still open, move your mouse cursor over the image. You'll see your cursor temporarily change into the Eyedropper Tool icon. Click on an area of the image that contains the color you want for your background. I'll click on an area in the woman's forehead:

Click OK when you're done to close out of the Color Picker. The Solid Color fill layer instantly updates to the newly sampled color, giving us our new background color for the effect:

Shape Cluster Photo Display Effect

Step 1: Create A New Document

This opens Photoshop's New Document dialog box. A square-shaped document works best for this effect, so I'll set both the Width and Height of my document to 1000 pixels, and since I'm not planning on printing this, I'll leave the Resolution value set to 72 pixels/inch. The dimensions and resolution you need may be different, especially if you're creating this for print. Set the Background Contents to White, then click OK to close out of the dialog box. A new document, filled with white, will appear on your screen:

Step 2: Change The Grid Size In Photoshop's Preferences

We're going to use Photoshop's grid to help us create our shape design, but first, we need to make a change to the size of the grid, and we do that in the Preferences. On a PC, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen, choose Preferences, then choose Guides, Grid, & Slices. On a Mac, go up to the Photoshop menu, choose Preferences, then choose Guides, Grid, & Slices:

This opens the Preferences dialog box set to the Guides, Grid and Slices options. In the Grid section, set the Gridline Every option to 2.5 percent. Leave the other options set to their defaults. Click OK when you're done to close out of the dialog box:

Step 3: Turn On The Grid

We've changed the size of the grid, but we still need to turn the grid on in our document. To do that, go up to the View menu at the top of the screen, choose Show, then choose Grid:

The grid is now visible in the document. Even though we can see it, the grid isn't actually part of the design. It's just there for visual reference to help us out:

Step 4: Add A New Layer

Click on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Step 5: Select The Rectangular Marquee Tool

Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool from the Tools panel:
Step 6: Draw An Initial Selection Around The Grid

With the Rectangular Marquee Tool selected, draw an initial selection outline around the grid, but leave a border the width of two squares between the selection outline and the edges of the document. The selection outline can be a bit hard to see in a screenshot, so I've highlighted mine in red just to make it easier to see that I've left a border two squares thick around it:

Step 7: Fill The Selection With Black

With the selection in place, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and choose Fill:

Change the Use option at the top of the dialog box to Black

We don't need the selection outline anymore, so to remove it, go up to the Select menu at the top of the screen and choose Deselect. You could also press Ctrl+D (Win) / Command+D (Mac) to quickly deselect it using the faster keyboard shortcut:

You should now have an initial black-filled square shape in the document. It really makes no difference which color we chose to fill the selection with since the photo will eventually appear overtop of it. I chose black simply because it's easy to see in front of the white background and it also makes it easy to see the grid lines:

Step 8: Draw A Series Of Narrow Rectangular Selections

We're going to divide our initial shape into several smaller shapes, and we'll do that by deleting parts of it. First, we need to select the areas we're going to delete. With the Rectangular Marquee Tool still selected, start from the left side of the shape and count out 10 vertical columns of squares inward towards the right, then start at the top of the shape and draw a selection down around the 11th column, but leave 10 squares between the bottom of your selection and the bottom of the shape. I realize that can sound confusing so I've tried to make it clearer in the screenshot by once again highlighting my selection outline in red. Notice that my selection is just one column wide and that there's 10 squares between my selection and the left side of the shape, as well as 10 squares between the bottom of my selection and the bottom of the shape:

Once you've drawn the first selection, hold down your Shift key, which will temporarily switch you into Photoshop's Add to Selection mode, then count out 10 horizontal rows of squares upward from the bottom of the shape and draw a similar selection around the 11th row of squares starting from the left, leaving 10 squares between the right edge of your selection and the right side of the shape. Again, the screenshot hopefully makes it easier to see. By holding down the Shift key, this second selection is added to the first, and we now have parts of one column and one row of squares selected:

Two selections down, two more to go. Continue holding down your Shift key, then count out 10 columns of squares from the right side of the shape and draw a selection upward around the 11th column, leaving 10 squares between the top edge of your selection and the top of the shape. This third selection is added to the first two:

Finally, with the Shift key still held down, count out 10 rows of squares from the top of the shape and draw a selection around the 11th row, beginning from the right of the shape, leaving 10 squares between the left edge of your selection and the left edge of the shape. When you're done, you should have parts of two rows and two columns of squares selected:

Step 9: Delete The Selected Areas

Press Backspace (Win) / Delete (Mac) on your keyboard to delete the selected areas of the shape, which instantly separates the larger shape into five smaller shapes. Press Ctrl+D (Win) / Command+D (Mac) to quickly remove the selection outlines from around the shapes. We no longer need our grid displayed in the document, so go back up to the View menu, choose Show, then choose Grid to turn the grid off. You could also press Ctrl+' (Win) / Command+' (Mac) to turn it off with the faster keyboard shortcut. Here's what the document now looks like after removing the selection outlines and turning off the grid:

Step 10: Add A Drop Shadow

Click on the Layer Styles icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Choose Drop Shadow from the list of layer styles that appears

This opens Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box set to the Drop Shadow options in the middle column. I'm going to set the Angle of the shadow to 120° and I'll set both the Distance and Size to 12 px. You may need to use different values for the Distance and Size options if you created a larger document than the size I'm using for this tutorial. Finally, to reduce the intensity of the shadow, I'll lower the Opacity value down to 60%:

Click OK to close out of the Layer Style dialog box. A drop shadow is now added to the shapes:

Step 11: Open Your Photo

Open the photo you want to place inside the shapes. It will open in its own separate document window.

Step 12: Copy And Paste The Photo Into The Shapes Document

Press Ctrl+A (Win) / Command+A (Mac) to quickly select the entire photo, then press Ctrl+C (Win) / Command+C (Mac) to copy it to the clipboard. Switch over to your shapes document, then press Ctrl+V (Win) / Command+V (Mac) to paste the photo into the document. It will appear on its own layer (Layer 2) above the shapes layer (Layer 1) in the Layers panel:

Step 13: Create A Clipping Mask

Go up to the Layer menu at the top of the screen and choose Create Clipping Mask:

Go to Layer > Create Clipping Mask.

This "clips" the photo to the shapes on the layer directly below it, creating the illusion that the photo is being divided up and displayed on the shapes:

Step 14: Move And Resize The Photo With Free Transform

To resize and reposition the photo inside the shapes, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and choose Free Transform, or press Ctrl+T (Win) / Command+T (Mac) to select the Free Transform command with the keyboard shortcut:

This places Photoshop's Free Transform box and handles around the photo. Even though we can only see the area of the photo that sits above the shapes, the Free Transform box and handles will appear around the photo's actual size. If you can't see the handles because the photo is too large and extends outside the current viewable area of the document, go up to the View menu at the top of the screen and choose Fit on Screen. You can also press Ctrl+0 (Win) / Command+0 (Mac) to select the Fit on Screen command with the keyboard shortcut:

Photoshop will instantly zoom out as far as needed to fit the entire photo into the document's viewable area so you can access the Free Transform handles. To resize the photo, hold down your Shift key, which will constrain the aspect ratio of the photo as you resize it, then drag any of the four corner handles (the little squares). To move the photo, simply click anywhere inside the Free Transform bounding box and drag the image around with your mouse. As you resize and reposition the image, you'll see it moving around inside the shapes:

When you're happy with how things look, press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) to accept the changes and exit out of Free Transform. And with that, we're done! Here is my final "shape cluster photo display" result:

Shape Cluster Photo Display Effect

Step 1: Create A New Document

This opens Photoshop's New Document dialog box. A square-shaped document works best for this effect, so I'll set both the Width and Height of my document to 1000 pixels, and since I'm not planning on printing this, I'll leave the Resolution value set to 72 pixels/inch. The dimensions and resolution you need may be different, especially if you're creating this for print. Set the Background Contents to White, then click OK to close out of the dialog box. A new document, filled with white, will appear on your screen:

Step 2: Change The Grid Size In Photoshop's Preferences

We're going to use Photoshop's grid to help us create our shape design, but first, we need to make a change to the size of the grid, and we do that in the Preferences. On a PC, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen, choose Preferences, then choose Guides, Grid, & Slices. On a Mac, go up to the Photoshop menu, choose Preferences, then choose Guides, Grid, & Slices:

This opens the Preferences dialog box set to the Guides, Grid and Slices options. In the Grid section, set the Gridline Every option to 2.5 percent. Leave the other options set to their defaults. Click OK when you're done to close out of the dialog box:

Step 3: Turn On The Grid

We've changed the size of the grid, but we still need to turn the grid on in our document. To do that, go up to the View menu at the top of the screen, choose Show, then choose Grid:

The grid is now visible in the document. Even though we can see it, the grid isn't actually part of the design. It's just there for visual reference to help us out:

Step 4: Add A New Layer

Click on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Step 5: Select The Rectangular Marquee Tool

Select the Rectangular Marquee Tool from the Tools panel:
Step 6: Draw An Initial Selection Around The Grid

With the Rectangular Marquee Tool selected, draw an initial selection outline around the grid, but leave a border the width of two squares between the selection outline and the edges of the document. The selection outline can be a bit hard to see in a screenshot, so I've highlighted mine in red just to make it easier to see that I've left a border two squares thick around it:

Step 7: Fill The Selection With Black

With the selection in place, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and choose Fill:

Change the Use option at the top of the dialog box to Black

We don't need the selection outline anymore, so to remove it, go up to the Select menu at the top of the screen and choose Deselect. You could also press Ctrl+D (Win) / Command+D (Mac) to quickly deselect it using the faster keyboard shortcut:

You should now have an initial black-filled square shape in the document. It really makes no difference which color we chose to fill the selection with since the photo will eventually appear overtop of it. I chose black simply because it's easy to see in front of the white background and it also makes it easy to see the grid lines:

Step 8: Draw A Series Of Narrow Rectangular Selections

We're going to divide our initial shape into several smaller shapes, and we'll do that by deleting parts of it. First, we need to select the areas we're going to delete. With the Rectangular Marquee Tool still selected, start from the left side of the shape and count out 10 vertical columns of squares inward towards the right, then start at the top of the shape and draw a selection down around the 11th column, but leave 10 squares between the bottom of your selection and the bottom of the shape. I realize that can sound confusing so I've tried to make it clearer in the screenshot by once again highlighting my selection outline in red. Notice that my selection is just one column wide and that there's 10 squares between my selection and the left side of the shape, as well as 10 squares between the bottom of my selection and the bottom of the shape:

Once you've drawn the first selection, hold down your Shift key, which will temporarily switch you into Photoshop's Add to Selection mode, then count out 10 horizontal rows of squares upward from the bottom of the shape and draw a similar selection around the 11th row of squares starting from the left, leaving 10 squares between the right edge of your selection and the right side of the shape. Again, the screenshot hopefully makes it easier to see. By holding down the Shift key, this second selection is added to the first, and we now have parts of one column and one row of squares selected:

Two selections down, two more to go. Continue holding down your Shift key, then count out 10 columns of squares from the right side of the shape and draw a selection upward around the 11th column, leaving 10 squares between the top edge of your selection and the top of the shape. This third selection is added to the first two:

Finally, with the Shift key still held down, count out 10 rows of squares from the top of the shape and draw a selection around the 11th row, beginning from the right of the shape, leaving 10 squares between the left edge of your selection and the left edge of the shape. When you're done, you should have parts of two rows and two columns of squares selected:

Step 9: Delete The Selected Areas

Press Backspace (Win) / Delete (Mac) on your keyboard to delete the selected areas of the shape, which instantly separates the larger shape into five smaller shapes. Press Ctrl+D (Win) / Command+D (Mac) to quickly remove the selection outlines from around the shapes. We no longer need our grid displayed in the document, so go back up to the View menu, choose Show, then choose Grid to turn the grid off. You could also press Ctrl+' (Win) / Command+' (Mac) to turn it off with the faster keyboard shortcut. Here's what the document now looks like after removing the selection outlines and turning off the grid:

Step 10: Add A Drop Shadow

Click on the Layer Styles icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Choose Drop Shadow from the list of layer styles that appears

This opens Photoshop's Layer Style dialog box set to the Drop Shadow options in the middle column. I'm going to set the Angle of the shadow to 120° and I'll set both the Distance and Size to 12 px. You may need to use different values for the Distance and Size options if you created a larger document than the size I'm using for this tutorial. Finally, to reduce the intensity of the shadow, I'll lower the Opacity value down to 60%:

Click OK to close out of the Layer Style dialog box. A drop shadow is now added to the shapes:

Step 11: Open Your Photo

Open the photo you want to place inside the shapes. It will open in its own separate document window.

Step 12: Copy And Paste The Photo Into The Shapes Document

Press Ctrl+A (Win) / Command+A (Mac) to quickly select the entire photo, then press Ctrl+C (Win) / Command+C (Mac) to copy it to the clipboard. Switch over to your shapes document, then press Ctrl+V (Win) / Command+V (Mac) to paste the photo into the document. It will appear on its own layer (Layer 2) above the shapes layer (Layer 1) in the Layers panel:

Step 13: Create A Clipping Mask

Go up to the Layer menu at the top of the screen and choose Create Clipping Mask:

Go to Layer > Create Clipping Mask.

This "clips" the photo to the shapes on the layer directly below it, creating the illusion that the photo is being divided up and displayed on the shapes:

Step 14: Move And Resize The Photo With Free Transform

To resize and reposition the photo inside the shapes, go up to the Edit menu at the top of the screen and choose Free Transform, or press Ctrl+T (Win) / Command+T (Mac) to select the Free Transform command with the keyboard shortcut:

This places Photoshop's Free Transform box and handles around the photo. Even though we can only see the area of the photo that sits above the shapes, the Free Transform box and handles will appear around the photo's actual size. If you can't see the handles because the photo is too large and extends outside the current viewable area of the document, go up to the View menu at the top of the screen and choose Fit on Screen. You can also press Ctrl+0 (Win) / Command+0 (Mac) to select the Fit on Screen command with the keyboard shortcut:

Photoshop will instantly zoom out as far as needed to fit the entire photo into the document's viewable area so you can access the Free Transform handles. To resize the photo, hold down your Shift key, which will constrain the aspect ratio of the photo as you resize it, then drag any of the four corner handles (the little squares). To move the photo, simply click anywhere inside the Free Transform bounding box and drag the image around with your mouse. As you resize and reposition the image, you'll see it moving around inside the shapes:

When you're happy with how things look, press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) to accept the changes and exit out of Free Transform. And with that, we're done! Here is my final "shape cluster photo display" result:
