Tutorial library
Built for users who already see the value and want the fastest route to the next step, whether that is CSV import, Smart Layout, Memory Mate keepsakes, player posters, or Photoshop handoff.
A short overview built to show the value of the app before a photographer commits to a deeper walkthrough.
Feature overview
Team Photo Composite is standalone sports team composite software for photographers who already run youth sports picture day at volume. Build the pyramid, keep the studio look, and get print-ready files out while the next team is still in line. Beyond the team canvas, Individual posters and Memory Mate keepsakes turn one session into stronger add-on sales. Adobe Photoshop is optional: use it when you want a layered handoff, not as a required plugin setup.
Drop PNG or TIF cutouts onto the canvas and let the roster settle into rows. This is team photo composite software built around the table you already run on picture day, not a blank document you have to assemble piece by piece. On multi-team days, import a CSV so names and files stay attached to the right group without sorting folders by hand.
When you need background removal for sports photos, send a whole roster through Adobe Photoshop Select Subject (Adobe Sensei) from inside the app. Review the batch in a zoomable grid, then reopen any player with one click instead of rebuilding masks. The cutouts come back ready to place, so the time you used to spend isolating subjects can go back into delivery.
Control row count, player size, margins, and swaps until the pyramid matches how you actually shoot. Perspective and feet alignment stay in the layout, so a small correction does not mean starting over. You keep the last-inch control that volume work still needs, without rebuilding the formation by hand.
Smart Layout remembers how you finished similar roster sizes and canvas shapes, then reuses that studio style on the next school. Player size, row width, and baselines come back closer to your look from the first drop. You stay in control; the software just starts nearer to done.
Stage the team with backgrounds, clipart, and type, then ground the feet with shadow, reflection, or fade. The finish stays inside the same youth sports picture day workflow instead of a second round of compositing. What the parent sees in the proof should be what you already wrapped in the app.
Export a print-ready team JPG on its own when the job is done. Use Photoshop composite export when you want a full layered file or a per-player handoff for the lab. Photoshop stays the finish station, not the place you have to assemble every row.
Design the team once, then generate a high-res poster for every player with names applied across the roster. Each athlete can take the lead spot without rebuilding a separate file. It is a natural add-on sale that does not open a second production queue.
Memory Mate is a third project mode: design one keepsake with up to three photo slots, then walk a Folder or CSV roster and write a JPG for every athlete. There is no pyramid and no on-canvas roster—only the calibration photos you place, plus background, clipart, flares, and text. Size, offset, tilt, opacity, tint, and per-slot effects become the pattern for each slot folder; matching filename stems produce {stem}_MemoryMate.jpg. Import a Memory Mate layout from Photoshop when the design already lives there.
Team Photo Composite is its own desktop app for volume sports photography software work, not a plugin you have to configure inside Photoshop. Open it, build the composite, and only launch Photoshop if the job needs layered output. The path from cutouts to delivery stays in one place when time is the constraint.
The UI keeps getting better! Some videos may show an earlier version of the interface, but the workflow remains the same — with a few improvements along the way.
Getting started
The first set of videos for new users who need to build a working composite quickly.
A complete quick start that proves the end-to-end value of the app in one sitting.
See how to turn one team build into individualized poster output for every player.
Learn how projects are stored so repeat jobs and roster revisions stay organized.
Import and organize
Work faster on team days by controlling rosters, rows, and studio-style presets.
Bring in players manually or from CSV exports when several schools have to move through fast.
Control how players settle into rows and make small corrections without starting over.
Reuse a finish style that already works for your studio so similar teams take less retuning.
AI cutouts
Automatic background removal powered by Adobe Photoshop™'s Select Subject (Adobe Sensei AI). Batch-process an entire roster, review results in a zoomable grid, and re-edit any player with one click — no manual masking required.
Use the cutout workflow to accelerate player isolation before you start arranging the team.
Design and atmosphere
Shape the finished look with backgrounds, effects, clipart, and typography.
Set the stage for the roster using backgrounds and guides that keep the composite aligned.
Ground the players with effects that help the final print feel finished and believable.
Add logos, graphic elements, and sports-style type without leaving the main workflow.
Memory Mate
A third project mode for keepsake posters: place up to three photo slots, pull a Folder or CSV roster, and export a JPG for every athlete—no pyramid and no on-canvas roster.
Calibrate one poster with up to three photo slots, then batch a JPG for every athlete from matching folder or CSV stems.
Export and Photoshop
Deliver print-ready files or hand work off to Photoshop without breaking your pipeline.
Generate the main team output quickly when you need a clean print-ready JPG.
Create individualized player outputs that turn one build into a stronger sales package.
Choose the right Photoshop export path depending on whether you need a full team layout or player-level finishing.
