To add a photo to a spot on the card, drag it from the photo collection at the bottom of the screen, which shows the contents of your album. Would you prefer a single image on the front, rather than a four-photo layout? Click the Options button below the card to open the Layout Options panel, and click the desired layout. Although every card starts with a default layout, most have alternatives. It’s easy to change your choices while working on the card by clicking the button next to Buy Card. Choose Holidays from the pop-up menu at the top, and click either Landscape or Portrait to pick the orientation before selecting a theme and clicking Create Card in the upper-right corner. Photos loads themes over the Internet automatically, so if you see just a few themes, wait until more appear. Then select one of the three choices: a 5×7 folded letterpress card for $2.99 each, a 5×7 folded card for $1.49 each, or a 4×6 flat double-sided card for $0.99 each. Select all the photos in your new album with Edit > Select All, and choose File > Create > Card. Don’t be picky at this point because it’s easier to choose the final images from within the card layout.
Although you can add photos to your card project at any time, it’s easiest to make a new album and then spin through last year’s photos, adding 20 or so of the best candidates to your album. You can take the easy way out and buy a few packs of generic reindeer cards at the drugstore, but with a little work in Apple’s Photos app on the Mac, you can instead send cards personalized with your favorite family photos from the past year. It’s that time of year again, when we realize that if we’re going to do holiday cards, we should get started.
