ADJUST THE TEMPLATE ROWS AND COLUMNS
Once you have created the first shape layer and applied the desired effects or styles like shadows, bevels, stroke, etc you only need to select it in the document or the layers palette and clic at Auto Class Composite Create target layers button.
Auto Class Composite will read the opened document in Photoshop and show you a preview with a shape and margins, you only have to input the number of images to get the target shape layers. Now you may relocate the margins, resize the shape layer, add or remove rows and columns per row.
Once the design is correct clic at Generate shape layers and Auto Class Composite will create a copy of the design in Photoshop, one shape layer per image.
SELECT THE PICTURES FOLDER
Select the pictures folder where you have saved the people pictures.
Remember that the file names should be those of the people pictured and if you want to take advantage of Auto Class Composite sorting features you have to put first the last name, a comma and the first name like:
SMITH, JOHN.JPG
BEVERLY, SUE.JPG
THOMSON, ALBERT.JPG
Use a # symbol if you want to insert a new line like Smith, John#.jpg (2 lines) or Smith# Coach, John#.jpg (3 lines)
CLICK AT FILL COMPOSITE
Auto Class Composite will start filling the composite from the layer currently selected in the layers palette. This way you may select first a teacher shape and fill it with teachers and later select the first students shape and selecting the students folder fill this layers.
The filling order of the shapes is from top to bottom in the layers palette, therefore the order in the document should be the same ( take a look at how Creating target layers works creating the shapes for you).
