Create the Image file in Photoshop The image file consists roughly of a Filmstrip serving as mask and then the images which are inserted into the film strip. In the normal position, the images are dimmed by a black fill layer at about 75% opacity. The final image looks as follows: Download the PSD File Download my PSD file from HERE.

Some of the most asked questions deal with the visual representation of products and with the thumbnails. The theme creates product thumbnails automatically irrespective of the image size loaded. Experience teaches however, that the most uniform results are achieved when loading product images in a uniform size. For the purpose of our demo store, I have selected a square format of 512 x 512 pixels. Of course you may load portrait pr landscape shaped images. If all your images have the same proportions (width and height) it is recommended to modify the script to suit the desired proportions. Home Page Thumbnails The script defines a 165 x 165 pixels square space with a 1 pixel border into which it places a thumbnail of 143 x 143 pixels, positioned on top left. For the purpose of the demo we would like to display square thumbnails of 165 pixels without a border. The Home Page displays the “Latest Products” which are defined in the “latest_products.php”.

The Theme is ideal for customers with a straight forward business selling namely to a targeted local audience.

Besides this the Shop is flexible and bears quite a number of interesting built in features also for affiliate marketers as well as for people who would like to offer to their customers an affiliate program.
