Wanting to use my own images, the challenge is to find three that work together. Background texture was one of those textures that I had saved years ago but never used before.....inky textures. It seemed to work well here.  |

Thanks for the challenge Tom. Credits; Two images from Pixabay and one from Morguefile. Added a simple inner bevel and a drop shadow.  That's nice... |

Thanks for trying this out tourerjim , and for sharing your layer stack. I am curious about the purpose of the extra layer you have with each panel. It is a little hard to tell because of the size, but it looks like one is a gradient and the other pure black. |

- Ran my Old-Fashioned Hand-Tinting action. - Applied the Glowing Edges filter (Subtract blending mode, 100% Opacity). - Applied an Adobe Paper Texture Pro (Ezekiel Plum, Overlay blending mode, 100% Opacity). - Created the background with a texture by Meredith Images (Grunge Rust Mauve). - Frame effect done with Filter Forge (Matching Frame). - Images from Pixabay.  |

Like Ms. Anderson said when I was in grade 6, "Does not follow directions well."  Thanks for the thread and instructions Tom. I ignored them, and did my own thing which is pretty much the same anyway. I like triptychs .... except I cannot spell it. triptych tryptick It's always a mystery to me.  Chickadees photographed today, March 8, 2022.  |

I think I get what you are doing, using that extra layer to provide the gradient on the bevel, yes? Clever idea! |

HINTS FOR CREATING TEMPLATETo duplicate your rectangle and place the others precisely in line with the first one:For Mac Users: Hold down the Shift Key and the Option Key - grab your newly created rectangle and pull sideways -- the Option Key duplicates your rectangle - the Shift Key keeps the rectangle in a straight line For Windows Users: I assume you use the Alt Key in place of the Option Key
To precisely space your rectangles, turn on the Grid -- View> Grid

HINTS FOR CREATING TEMPLATE
Thanks for those hints Janice! They are very handy for this sort of task. When using the grid (or guides), I find it useful to insure that Snap To is enabled (View | Snap To).
