Hi, Ali - thank you so much for the video! It's been a while since I've been on PSE so this was a huge time/frustration savings! A question, in case you see it... on the Option 4 template, there doesn't seem to be a journal layer and I can't figure out how to add it :( I really like the picture layout I have and would love to learn how to do this simple function... help and Thank You So Much!!!

Hi Teri - just seeing this now. Use the T tool to click on an area and drag to create a box to add your text (you could also copy that layer from another template and move it over).

Hi Ali
Sorry, this might be a stupid question but I would like to know if it is possible to adapt these templates to A4 size? I can't get hold of US letter sized albums etc in Europe.
Thanks for everything you share and teach us!

You could change them up - sure - it would take some work but it's possible when working with the layered templates in photoshop. I would create a new canvas that is A4 size and then drag and drop the one's I've created and adjust the background to fit.
