If you are a gardener like me, then you might like to turn some of your seed packets into digital scrapbook embellishments!
You can scan one seed packet at a time (like we mentioned in yesterdays blog), or you scan a couple of images at a one time in Photoshop Elements!
However, unless you can separate your multiple images, after they are scanned together they will become one image in Photoshop Elements!
Learn how to Scan Multiple images and Separate them in Photoshop Elements:
If you don’t know how to scan multiple images and separate them – it is very easy.
Let me give you that information – so you, like me can save some time and start working on those seed packets that you want to turn into digital scrapbooking embellishments!
First, add several of seed packets on a scanner bed, leave some space between the packets.
Next open up your Photoshop Elements software program.
Once you have opened Photoshop Elements In Editor Mode, you will need to scan the photos or images to your scanner
Go to FILE > IMPORT > “YOUR PRINTER”
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 images, photos or in this case seed packets.
Next, A pop-up menu will appear. Select Preview (see arrow in red) to view the scanned images (seed packets) 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 (see other arrow in red) to begin scanning.
The scanned images will appear in the work area, but the images are as one combined photo.
Don’t stop now – you are so close!
Next, go to the top menu and select Image > Divide Scanned Photos
Photoshop Elements will separate each of the individual images (seed packets), and put them in their own separate window. All you have to do is save each one and then you have all the images scanned and separated!
This is a very easy way to scan multiple images and to separate them quickly!
Plus Photoshop Elements is very good at getting the photos aligned straight, even if they are not put in the scanner that way!
This is a great tip for saving some time!
Now save them individually, and scrap your seed packets into a nice digital scrapbooking page!
Hope you try this at home with Photoshop Elements and you will quickly see how fun it is to add your own seed packets to your digital scrapbooking projects!
Ps. when you get all of your Veggie or Flower garden scrapped you might want to turn it into a digital garden album, to send to friends and family! (Get training on How to Make a PDF Scrapbooking Album using Photoshop Elements). You might even include a few recipes in your digital garden album too!
Enjoy!
