With custom templates, you can create a design and then transform it into a template. You can then make new designs that are based on the template. This can be a much quicker way to create a range of similar designs as:
You do the bulk of the design work in the template
The designs you create from the template automatically have the same layers as the template
In the designs, you only need to make the changes you want.
For example, you might want to create your own template for a new range of products (see image 1 below). You will use the same template to create a promotional image for each different product (see image 2 and image 3).
In this article, we explain how to create a custom template. If you are unfamiliar with templates, see templates for an overview.
