Now that it is is summer and if you like me are, planting flowers and vegetable gardens, then you might like to have some embellishments that match your garden.
It is easy and fun to make your own digital scrapbooking embellishments from scanned seed packets in Photoshop!
Follow along these simple steps in Photoshop so you can make your own digital scrapbooking Embellishment for your flower or Vegetable garden digital scrapbooking projects!
Here are the steps to do it:
First turn on your scanner, and add seed packet on your scanner bed.
If possible try to make it straight and in a good place on your scanner glass.
Close the lid and get ready to scan it using Photoshop and not the scanning software that came with your scanner!
Next open up your Photoshop software program.
Once you have opened Photoshop, you will need to scan the seed packet into your scanner
Go to FILE > IMPORT > WIA Support
Then, a Pop up window will appear. Select the file you want the photo to go to. If you need to browse to a new one select the Browse Button and go to the folder you want. Select the options and push the Start Button.
Next, another pop-up window will appear
Select the scanner you wish to use.
If you have multiple printers/scanners, you will need to look through the list of printer/scanner options, and choose the scanner that you would like use to scan the photos. After you have selected the scanner – click the OK button.
Then, A pop-up menu will appear. Select Preview (see arrow in red) to view the scanned photo and to make the adjustments
Move the boxes that surround the photo until it fits the way that you would like it around your picture
Then select Scan Button (see single arrow ) to begin scanning.
The scanned photos will appear in the work area the photos as one combined photo.
If you have extra area around your seed packet you might want to take the Crop tool and cut it away!
Then when it is trimmed up – save it.
Then use your new digital scrapbooking embellishment on your next Digital Scrapbooking project!
You can use your new digital scrapbooking embellishment with lots of different supplies to make many different kinds of scrapbooking pages using the same seed packet you just scanned!
Have fun trying this scanning technique to create a digital scrapbooking embellishment in Photoshop!
