So, I wanted to mention this website:</p> <p><a href="http://www.photoshop.com/express" rel="nofollow">http://www.photoshop.com/express</a></p> <p>Here, Adobe offers a really scaled down version of photoshop. Sadly, you can't do any of the tutorials with layers and so on. However, it does offer some photo editing capbilities that you may not have with your camera software.</p> <p>If you are looking to get into Photoshop, you can often find good prices on slightly older versions, and you'll still be able to get most or all of the functionality you want. When I shop for software, I search on 'shopping' websites that give you a comparison of lots of different online stores. Try these:</p> <p><a href="http://www.bizrate.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.bizrate.com</a><br /> <a href="http://www.shopping.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopping.com</a><br /> <a href="http://www.pricegrabber.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pricegrabber.com</a></p> <p>Just type in what you want (i.e. Photoshop Elements 5) in the search, and it will show you all the websites, along with what is the lowest price for your zip code (including tax/shipping). I saw Photoshop Elements 5 for $36! I use these sites for other price comparisons, too, such as vacuum cleaners or new sheets, etc. </p> http://dixiepieces.com/forum/topic.php?id=2787#post-24351 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 07:37:03 +0000 twinsmommy 24351@http://dixiepieces.com/forum/ <p>Great tutorial Krsita!!

And your tutorial is good enough I think even a dummy like me can follow!! I think I'll give it a try! </p> http://dixiepieces.com/forum/topic.php?id=2787#post-24131 Tue, 28 Oct 2008 11:45:11 +0000 kehlers 24131@http://dixiepieces.com/forum/ <p>Here's a tutorial that you can use for digital or hybrid scrapping, so I'm making it into a challenge, too! Just use this technique to combine two or more photos in your layout, and you will earn 5 points. You can combine your photos and then pring the collage to use in a hybrid layout.</p> <p>BONUS: You can have 5 bonus points if you use Dixie Pieces' digital kits in your layout!</p> <p>This technique is pretty simple - you make sure that each photo is on it's own layer, then you erase the parts of each photo that you don't want to see. Ready? Okay...</p> <p><strong>Making a Photo Montage</strong></p> <ol> <li>Create a new file in Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. It should be large enough that you can accomodate all of your photos for the montage, so go ahead and go to <strong>File: New</strong> and make a 12 inch x 12 inch file, 300 pixels/inch resolution.<br /> <img src="/images/tutorials/08.08.01-CropClass-04.jpg" /></li> <li>Select <strong>File: Place</strong> and then locate the first photo you would like to use. Click the <strong>Place</strong> button to add it to your layout. This will show the photo in your layout - click the commit button (looks like a checkmark<img src="/images/tutorials/08.08.01-CropClass-51.jpg" />) to accept it.</li> <li>Repeat step 2 for all the photos you want to use. This will place a copy of each photo on it's own layer in Photoshop. Go ahead and name and save your file.<br /> <em>Shortcut:</em> Type CTRL + S (Mac: Command + S)</li> <li>Photoshop only: You will need to rasterize your layers to proceed, so right-click on each layer in the layers palette and choose <strong>Rasterize Layer</strong>. Photoshop Elements rasterizes the layers automatically when you use Place.</li> <li>I recommend hiding all but the two layers you want to work with first. To do this, just click the "eyeball" image (<img src="/images/tutorials/08.08.01-CropClass-16.jpg" />) next to the layer you want to hide.</li> <li>You should now have two layers (or two photos) showing. Make sure that the one you want to use as a background is on the bottom of the layers paletted - if it is not, just click and drag it to the bottom.<br /> <img src="/images/tutorials/08.10.28-Collage-02.jpg" /></li> <li>Click on the layer containing the top photo to select it. Now, decrease the opacity of this photo to about 50% by using the Opacity slider in the upper right of the layers palette. This will enable you to see what you're doing, since you'll be able to see the background image, too.<br /> <img src="/images/tutorials/08.10.28-Collage-03.jpg" /></li> <li>Activate your eraser tool (click <img src="/images/tutorials/commonEraserTool.gif" /> or type "e"). Choose a large, soft, round brush. You can choose a brush in the options toolbar, which is along the top of your screen.<br /> <em>Tip:</em> If you hold your mouse over the brushes in the brush palette, the name of the brush will appear. I chose "Soft Round 200 pixels".<br /> <img src="/images/tutorials/08.10.28-Collage-04.jpg" /></li> <li>Making sure that your top image is still selected, start erasing the parts of that image which you do not want to use. As you erase, you can make your brush smaller to get the detailed areas by typing the "[" key - make it larger again with "]". You can also zoom in with CTRL + + or zoom out with CTRL + - (Mac: Command + +/Command + -).<br /> <em>Tip:</em> Erase a little bit at a time, which makes it easier to undo if you don't like the way it looks. Also, the larger the brush you use, the softer the edge will be, so I try to use as large a brush as possible for this type of task.<br /> <img src="/images/tutorials/08.10.28-Collage-05.jpg" /></li> <li>When you are finished erasing, bring the opacity back up to 100%. You may need to touch up the erasing a bit at that point.</li> </ol> <p>Once you have the photos the way you want them, you can un-hide the next photo by clicking the empty box to the left of the layer (an eye will appear). Repeat steps 7 - 10 with that photo, until you have erased all the photos to your liking.<br /> <a href="http://dixiepieces.com/v/Closed/BirthdayBash/08_03_19-Brenna.jpg.html"><img src="http://dixiepieces.com/gallery/d/28585-2/08_03_19-Brenna.jpg" alt="Lil' B" /></a> </p> http://dixiepieces.com/forum/topic.php?id=2757#post-23885 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:51:18 +0000 sunnydayscrapper 23885@http://dixiepieces.com/forum/ <p>ARen't they great?

I've been doing newsletters, which then turned into cards, and will probably look quite a bit more digital scrapbook-like this year. I get A7 folders at Paper Zone and just run them through the printers. </p> http://dixiepieces.com/forum/topic.php?id=2716#post-23475 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 08:15:41 +0000 marcibun 23475@http://dixiepieces.com/forum/ <p>Seeing Elisa's card in the gallery gave me an "aha" moment - if you have a bunch of cards to make for a certain occasion (invitations, halloween cards, etc) and you don't have alot of time or product to make them traditionally, make them using a digital kit then just print them off onto cardstock. </p> <p>We here so much about "hybrid scrapbooking" but I've never seen anyone do "hybrid cardmaking" - its actually a brilliant idea and I think I might try it with my Christmas cards this year. I'll print out the basics and then just add some traditional elements to personalize each card. </p> http://dixiepieces.com/forum/topic.php?id=2623#post-21492 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:49:17 +0000 Sherry 21492@http://dixiepieces.com/forum/ <p>she has a beautiful family, too. did you see the family photo on the rocks? also a beautiful photo. </p> http://dixiepieces.com/forum/topic.php?id=2623#post-21472 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 13:04:49 +0000 scrappeekim 21472@http://dixiepieces.com/forum/ <p>Fun blog! </p> http://dixiepieces.com/forum/topic.php?id=2623#post-21458 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:30:23 +0000 bethally 21458@http://dixiepieces.com/forum/ <p>Cool!
