I am trying to find out if anyone knows an easy step by step process to make a slide (like you mount photos in) or maybe a negative strip? They have an action at Photoshop for the slide process but the dpi is only 72 and I wanted to use this for a print, can I change the process in the action so the resolution is higher?

Okay well thanks to anyone for the help, I appreciate it.

Likely you can change the action so it wont resize your image to 72 DPI. I may be confused as to what you are trying to do. Are you looking to put images into a faux filmstrip?
Like this?


If so here is a crash course:

Create a new image at like 10.5 W x 1.5 H, trans background

New layer... fill with black
open you images to place in filmstrip... set the crop tool to crop the images 648 x 478 (approx) Crop your images and drag them into your filmstrip document. Align them down the filmstip with the spacing you wish.

Now on the layer you filled with black zoom in to the top left corner and with the rectangle marquee make an appopriate sized selection for one of the drive wheel holes. hit delete
with that selection still active hit the right arrow key to move the selection marquee to the right for the spacing you wish... hit delete
Do that 5 or 6 times.... then get the magicwand tool and select one of the drive wheel holes and shift select the others you've made... select the rectangle marquee tool again and start hitting the right arrow keey to move the multiple selections to the right and hitting delete, keeping the proper spacing till you get to the end of your filmstrip.
Now select the magicwand tool again and select ALL of the drive wheel holes...(command/control 0 to view entire document) click on the rectangle marquee tool and start hitting the down arrow key to move your selection to the bottom of the image... Hit delete.
A small text across the bottom here and there and you have it

That is how that quick and dirty image above was created.... hope that helps
