Group Composite — Photoshop Plugin for School Photographers

Group Composite is an Adobe Photoshop plugin that turns a folder of individual portraits into a polished class or whole-school composite in minutes. It cuts out each subject, arranges them into balanced rows, and adds your banner, logo and shadows automatically. Preview the full layout for free, and only spend a credit when you produce the finished image.

 

Installing the plugin

  1. Download the Group Composite file above.
  2. Double-click the downloaded .ccx file. Photoshop’s plugin installer will open.
  3. You may see a message that the plugin is from an unidentified or untrusted source. This is normal for plugins installed outside the Adobe Marketplace. Choose to continue / load the plugin.
  4. Open Photoshop, go to Plugins in the top menu, and select Group Composite to open the panel.
  5. Sign in (or create a free account) to get started.
