Triptych

Sometimes if you want to show a story you may need more than one image.
Here is an example from our grandaughter's first birthday.

I'm not really sure how to put these type of triptych images together, but the result is very effective.

Very sweet. Would you outline your steps briefly? I've created a background and pasted pics onto it, but don't know at what point you add the drop shadow. Or is there software that has templates, such as for collage?

I use Photoshop CC and do not use a template.
I like the images to be the same height for these, but that is not absolutely necessary.
Initial design is on a piece a paper where I do the basic layout, allowing enough room for the borders and the space between the images. Then create the background with a sutable colour to match what is in the image.
The images are imported and placed on the background as layers.
The drop shadows are layer styles (very easy to apply).
Then I do the text, on another layer.
Once you have the idea and the photographs it only takes a few minutes for each one.
Here is a longer story showing what happens around our grand daughters bath time.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, and congratulations.
It wasn't my idea I was inspired by a flickr contact who is a professional.

I always forget the drop shadows!! And they add so much. We've been keeping our grandson for the last year (since he was born). It's so difficult to keep up with him now that he is mobile, but you don't have enough money to buy back this last year's experiences. I am constantly amazed how much love these little ones are able to share. They truly are precious.

They move a lot quicker when they get older. Ours is now 5 and starting school next week.
