On the zip. file you’ve just downloaded, you will find your template files (in PSD format), a document containing the “Licensing Info and Terms of Use”, and a file named “Resource Guide” that includes the download links to the fonts used on your template. Read the instructions carefully.
Download and install the fonts on your computer, then launch Photoshop and open the chosen template file.

IMPORTANT!
Before you start making any changes to your brand new template file, make sure to save your customized design AS A COPY, so you always keep a backup of the unaltered original file.
In order to do that, go to the top menu and click File > Save As.
Now rename it and choose the folder where you want to save the new file on your computer. Make sure you save it also in PSD format, just like the original one.
Step 3
Let’s get started by placing your custom Photologo® Inside the folder Customize Your Design Here (1), find the layer named Your Photologo Here (2). Double click on the layer icon, and a separate tab with the included logo sample will appear. Replace the sample logo with your own custom Photologo, and press Ctrl+S to save it.
Go back to the template file tab and the sample Photologo should have been automatically replaced by yours. Now, adjust the size, position and opacity to your preference.

The next step is to replace the background image.
