Cheri Barlow — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 16:19:50 +0000

Make sure that you send a Thank You Card for all of those nice gifts you got this year! Learn how to scrap it fast too! This is a nice activity that you can have your children help with too!

Take some of the digital photos you got of your family or children with their gifts, or other holiday photos, then combine them with a great PDF template to make a fast but personalized “Thank You” card that you can print and mail or even make and send by email!

Send a Personalized Thank You Card for a special thank you to those that gave you gifts!

Now the holiday are coming to an end, you might want to have your child or your family send out personalized Thank You cards to those that gave you gifts!

Today if you look online you can find lots of great PDF Documents that can make fun digital scrapbooking supplies like a Thank You card!

Here is one way to make a Thank You Card using a FREE PDF document.

5 Steps to Scrapping PDF files:

Step 1: Go to the website that has the PDF document you want use in your scrapbooking project like scrapping a Thank You card, and save it to your computer.

If you are following along with this article go to FamilyFun.com’s Photo Thank You Frame and then save the document to your computer. Use the save button or go to File > Save

Save the document to a place on your computer that you can find easily.

Step 2: Next, open the PDF document in either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements. Note: the following steps will work basically the same in Photoshop or Elements even though the demonstration will be focused on how-to in Elements

Next a pop-up in Photoshop Elements will appear, click on the document icon, make and select the settings and click OK

If you are using Photoshop instead of Elements, then you will do the same thing, click on the document icon, make and select the settings and click OK

Step 3: Select the Thank You card with the Rectangular Marquee Tool. Because the PDF Documents has some extra writing on it, and we only want the Thank You card using the Rectangular Marquee Tool in this example can help us select only the Frame.

Also notice that when this PDF is in either Photoshop or Elements the white areas are now transparent!

Step 4: Make a New Document regular paper size 8.5×11” with a white background.

Next take the Thank You card is selected, then with the Move Tool drag and drop it on to new scrapbooking document. or

Now your scrapbooking project should look like this:

Step 5: Scrap It and Print It! Add your photo, text, then print the Thank You card in your home printer. Fold it and write your own text in the inside. Put in an envelope and mail to that luck person!

It is fun to learn about using PDF files, and Thank You cards are also a great idea for a quick and very simple card.

While this kind of card is cute, why not learn how to make better Thank You Card?

Sometimes we want to make even more personalized then just taking a premade PDF file. For example, we want to scrap a whole card, using our special scrapbooking paper and embellishments.

We might even want to know how to scrap on the back of the card and fold it properly. How about making 2 cards per US Paper size? What type of envelope do we use? These questions are easy answered with the right training!

Ms Digi Know’s 50 Great Tips for Elements and Photoshop! Tip 11: Fill a Selection Fast

Ms. Digi Know — Sat, 05 Nov 2011 09:10:00 +0000

Readers Ask Ms. Digi Know Questions about Digital Scrapbooking, Photo Editing, Photoshop, Elements and MORE!

Ms. Digi Know will attempt to give you a great tip for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, one tip at a time till she reaches 50 tips!

Today’s tip will cover how to fill a Selection Fast in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop! In both programs they work almost the same, but we will list the differences below.

Dear Blog Readers: You have been asking lots of questions this and that, but one of the biggest questions I get is to give you the best or hottest tips for using Photoshop or Elements in digital scrapbooking or photo editing projects!

So here over the next few weeks I will try to give you 50 of my super secret or best tips for using Photoshop Elements or Photoshop in Digital Scrapbooking or Photo Editing. So by the time you are done with this special blog series you will have many helpful tips to use when you are working in Photoshop Elements!

This time we will start with Tip 11: How to Fill a Selection Fast in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop

First, let’s say that you are digitally scrapping, and then you wish you could put some color into an embellishment.

For example, look at the image to the right, see the white embellishment?

Let’s select it an color it quickly!

So we use the marquee tool, to select the white tag embellishment (but we can use any selection tool to make the selection)

Next, select a color in the foreground color chip area, to fill the selection with. See the example below:

Then use these shortcut keys to fill the selection quickly! To fill with the current foreground color, for example, press Alt + Backspace Key (Mac: Option + Delete Key).

Now the white tag embellishment, matches the colors in my digital scrapbooking project! To make my embellishment unselected use these shortcut keys: Ctrl + D for deselect (Mac: Cmd + D)

I can keep going to make this embellishment special, by selecting another area (but not the whole area) of the tag embellishment, selecting another color and using the Fill Selection shortcut keys: Alt + Backspace Key (Mac: Option + Delete Key).

So this example on the right we have made another selection, only just a small selection not the whole tag, like before, and when we pick another color like yellow and then use the shortcut trick, it can add a fun design to our tag in the colors of the scrap project! We can change the selection tool and use the Fill Selection shortcut keys: Alt + Backspace Key (Mac: Option + Delete Key) to add some extra shapes and designs too!

One more trick!

If you happen to have a color you want to use in the background color chip tool area, then you can use that color instead of the foreground color by using this other shortcut keys trick instead!

So now I want to Fill the Selection with the rust color instead of the yellow color.

Now use these shortcut keys to fill with the current background color, press Ctrl-Backspace (Mac: Command-Delete). Now you can get this!

Here is another trick! Make another selection, then to open the Fill Layer dialog and choose additional options, press Shift-Backspace (Mac: Shift-Delete).

Make your selections. In this example I want the selection to fill with a different color than the one in the foreground or background chips, so I select the color controls and make my selections

I picked another color in my digital scrapbooking project!

Now my selection is filled with the brown color. Wow, I have come a long way from having just a white tag embellishment! All by just using these handy shortcut keys!

Now I can just finish off my project by adding some text to my tag embellishment!

And Photoshop Users, all of these shortcuts work in Photoshop too!

Fill a Selection Fast in Photoshop use these shortcut keys: To fill with the current foreground color, for example, press Alt-Backspace (Mac: Option-Delete). To fill with the current background color, press Ctrl-Backspace (Mac: Command-Delete). And to open the Fill Layer dialog and choose additional options, press Shift-Backspace (Mac: Shift-Delete).

Now you have really make some nice changes with these shortcut keys:

Here is the example with the changes made with these shortcut keys, and the original embellishment with no changes and only the text!

You can see how these shortcut key tips can really be used to enhance your digital scrapbooking projects! Note: these tricks and shortcut key tips can also be used in photo editing task as well!

Try today’s tip and see if it adds more enchantment and charm to your projects!

Have a very nice day,

Ms. Digi Knows

Ms Digi Know’s 50 Great Tips for Elements and Photoshop! Tip 10: Change a Repeated Filter!

Ms. Digi Know — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:44:00 +0000

Readers Ask Ms. Digi Know Questions about Digital Scrapbooking, Photo Editing, Photoshop, Elements and MORE!

Ms. Digi Know will attempt to give you a great tip for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, one tip at a time till she reaches 50 tips!

Today’s tip will cover how to change a filter that was repeated in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop! Or in other words, reapplying a Filter with Different Settings!

This tip works in both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements, as they work almost the same, but we will list the differences below.

This time we will start with Tip 10: how to Change a repeated Filter effect or reapplying a Filter with Different Settings in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop

First, let’s talk about using a filter in Digital Scrapbooking before we tell the secret tips!

So, lets say that you just edited your photo and applied a wonderful filter to enhance the image.

Now you want to apply the same filter so you use the shortcut key revealed in this blog article: Tip 9: Repeat that Filter!

Now you want to apply a different setting to your third image and still use shortcut keys instead of going through the menu.

Using the shortcut keys mentioned in [Tip 9: Repeat that Filter - press Ctrl + F (Mac: Command + F)] to reapply the filter with the same exact settings you used before is fine if you want to use the same settings over and over again, and there are times when you want to do just that.

So what’s next? …. Here is the secret tip!

However, there are times when you want to use a shortcut key to reapply a filter with different settings. This secret keyboard shortcut that many people don’t know about will let you do just that!

Press Ctrl + Alt + F (Mac: Command + Option + F). This opens the filter dialog of the last filter you’ve applied—with the previous settings, but you can always change them to whatever you need.

This shortcut tip works in Photoshop Elements or Photoshop!

You can also reapply filters to photos as well as digital scrapbooking supplies using the same shortcut key too!

Try this fun trick and see how it works on some of your projects!

And if you need a introduction to filters in general then read this article: Use a Filter on a photo or in a Digital Scrap Project using Photoshop Elements Or Photoshop

Have a very nice day,

Today’s tip will cover how to repeat a filter in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop! In both programs they work almost the same, but we will list the differences below.

This time we will start with Tip 9: how to repeat a filter effect in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop

First, let’s talk about using a filter in Digital Scrapbooking before we tell the secret tips!

So, lets say that you are designing a great digital scrapbooking page, and you put an embellishment on your digital scrapbooking page.

You take the time to go through all the settings and apply a filter to one of your embellishments and now your scrap page is almost perfect! (#1)

But to finish the scrap page you want to add one more embellishment (#2) and you want it to have the same filter setting that you applied to the first embellishment.

You could try to go through and go to the menu and then make all the adjustments again, hoping you remembered the exact setting you used the first time!

Or you could just use a handy shortcut key that would apply the same filter with all the same setting to your second image!

You be the judge to which one you would use?…. We think you will like the shortcut key, and it is pretty simple use, and also a huge time saver!

Let’s say that you’ve applied a filter to your image, and you like it so much that you want to reapply it to the same image, or perhaps another image that you have open (#1). (This shortcut method works on digital scrapbooking supplies or photos!)

To use the shortcut keys all you have to do is press Ctrl + F (Mac: Command + F) to reapply the filter with the same exact settings you used before. (#2)

Special note: keep in mind that it always reapplies the last filter you used so if you used another one in between images it’s going to apply that one instead!

When you see how easy this is It will surely become one of your favorite shortcut keys!

Try this fun trick and see how it works on some of your digital scrapbooking or photo editing projects too!

Ps. This shortcut key works the same in Photoshop too! Below we are applying the same filter on different photos in Photoshop! Can do the same thing in Elements too!

As you can see you can also reapply filters to photos as well as digital scrapbooking supplies using the same shortcut key too!

Ms Digi Know’s 50 Great Tips for Elements and Photoshop! Tip 8: Helpful Brush-Tool Tricks

Ms. Digi Know — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 10:14:00 +0000

Readers Ask Ms. Digi Know Questions about Digital Scrapbooking, Photo Editing, Photoshop, Elements and MORE!

Ms. Digi Know will attempt to give you a great tip for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, one tip at a time till she reaches 50 tips!

Today’s tip will cover how to quickly Scroll Through Gradients in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop! In both programs they work almost the same, but we will list the differences below.

This time we will start with Tip 8: Helpful Brush Tool Tips in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop

First, let’s talk about brush-based tools before we tell the secret tips.

Several of the tools in Photoshop or Elements use brush like tool, like the brush, pencil, eraser and more. The tips we going tell you work with more than just the official BRUSH TOOL, these tools we will call the brush-based tools.

For example, what if you where digitally scrapbooking and you decided want to save some time when using a brush-based tool, then try these 3 handy shortcuts!

3 Helpful Brush Base-Tool Tricks

Shortcut1: Change Paint Colors. Usually to get the eye dropper to change a color would be a multiple step process, go to the color picker, then the color picker menu pops up, then get eye dropper and select color – wow I am tired just thinking about this!!! How about streamlining this and changing the color quicker? Here is how…

Want to quickly pick up a new color when working with any of the painting or drawing tools? Simply hold down the Alt key (Mac: Option key) and the eyedropper icon will appear as your cursor. Now just click on an area that contains the color you want to use and release the Alt/Option key. This will set the selected color as your foreground color.

Remember Photoshop works the same way!

Shortcut 2: Switch Brushes.
Usually to switch brushes, you would select the brush tool then go to the option bar, get the drop down menu and select the set of brushes you would like to use. Next, we scroll down to this brush set and select the set of brushes.

In this case we have a custom brush set loaded in the brush picker menu.

Take a look at the these brushes in this set – see the image to the right ~ ( Back-to-School Brushes for Digital Scrapbooking ).

This set of brushes are images that you use to “stamp” on your digital scrapbooking project. Some brushes you paint with but these brushes you use as a “stamp” or using the eraser tool these brushes can act as punch to cut a shape out.

Next you would usually select the brush you wanted to use, if you change your mind just repeat the process and select another brush!See an example in the image below.

Now you can use the brush – wow, that was a lot of work!
Not really, but we can make it simpler –keep reading!

Here is the tip: To switch brushes without jumping to the top of the option bar, just right-click anywhere in the document. The Brush Picker menu will appear right where you right-clicked and you can pick a new brush without leaving the area you are working on!

Here we pick another brush and then use it on your digital scrapbooking project.

Other tools that are brush based can use this trick like the Easer Tool. In this example the Easer Tool when we select a brush and “Stamp on it” it cuts through the layer we are on, in this example you can see the items below the area that is cut out when we use this trick!

Special Note: However, the only brush-based tool this doesn’t work with is the Color Replacement tool.

Again, Photoshop works the same way on this brush tip!

Shortcut 3: Set Brush Size and Hardness.

If you have taken the Getting Started Series in Digital Scrapbooking for Elements or Photoshop then you probably know you can increase or decrease the size of your brush by using these shortcut keys.

Just pressing the right bracket ( ] ) key increases the size of the brush and left bracket ( [ ) key decreases the size of the brush.

This is a nice tip to know and use in either Elements or Photoshop!

But did you know you can also change the hardness of your current brush (we are using a round brush to illustrate this), we can change the hardness or softness of the brush without changing the brushes size too!

In the example above (1) is the original brush we picked a hard brush to show how this works. Next, we pressed the Shift and [ key (left bracket) on the computer keyboard to decrease the hardness of
the brush. Click the bracket key several times to make it even softer. You can see in example (2) the brush becomes softer.

Then just press Shift plus the ] (right bracket) to increase the hardness of the current brush without increasing the size – see (3) we clicked the bracket key several times and made it go back to the the original hardness!

These tips will help you really get around using tools that use the brush. Then you can streamline your digital scrapbooking projects!

Ms Digi Know’s 50 Great Tips for Elements and Photoshop! Tip 7: Scroll Through Gradients

Readers Ask Ms. Digi Know Questions about Digital Scrapbooking, Photo Editing, Photoshop, Elements and MORE!

Ms. Digi Know will attempt to give you a great tip for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, one tip at a time till she reaches 50 tips!

Today’s tip will cover how to quickly Scroll Through Gradients in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop! In both programs they work almost the same, but we will list the differences below.

This time we will start with Tip 7: Scroll Through Gradients in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop

First, let’s talk about the default settings then talk about how to change that. For example, what if you where digitally scrapbooking and you decided to use a gradient to change your digital scrapbooking paper you would click on the Gradient tool (G).

Then you would go to the top Option Bar and to the Gradient Picker and select a gradient from the drop down menu.

Now when you are new to gradients you might want to look at all your choices and select one. Like the Transparent Rainbow Gradient.

This works the same way in Photoshop too!

However, once you have used a few gradients it is nice to quickly get to the gradient you would like to using quicker shortcut keys.

So here is how to Scroll Through Gradients with Key Board Shortcuts:

Here how you do it in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop ……

After clicking on the Gradient tool (Shortcut Key G), you can scroll through the gradients in the Gradient picker without opening it and selecting one.

Just press > Key (greater than symbol) on your computer keyboard to go to the next gradient.

Keep clicking on the > Key to advance through the gradients

Go from this to this

Now you can also go back to earlier gradients by clicking on the < Key(less than symbol) to switch to the previous gradient.

This is how you can move back and forth through the gradients and more quickly so you can spend more time scrapping and less time with Elements or Photoshop.

So in our digital scrapbooking project we used the shortcut keys to select Transparent Rainbow Gradient, then set the Opacity to 40% and selected the area to apply the gradient.

Now my digital scrapbooking paper has a different look and I used a shortcut key to select the gradient I would use. This saves time and helps me scrap faster. Now I can finish scrapping my digital project.

Now remember even though we have illustrated this with Photoshop Elements, Photoshop works the same way!

Special Note: now here is an extra tip ~ If you want to go beginning of the gradient list then Press Shift-< to move to the first gradient in the Gradient picker or Shift-> to go to the last gradient.

Hope this tip helps you to quickly scroll through gradients to help you streamline your work for Digital Scrapbooking Pages or Photo editing too!

Till the next blog … lots love and hugs,

Ms Digi Know’s 50 Great Tips for Elements and Photoshop! Tip 6: Rid Your Border or Stroke of Rounded Corners

Ms. Digi Know will attempt to give you a great tip for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, one tip at a time till she reaches 50 tips!

Today’s tip will cover how to quickly rotate images in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop! In both programs they work almost the same, but we will list the differences below.

This time we will start with TIP 6: Get Rid of Your Stroke (Border) with Rounded Corners in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop

Remember when photos were developed and printed with a white bordered trim around the edges?

Whether or not you do, we now have the luxury of going back in time and recreating those cool, old fashion-looking photographs!

It is easy to add a border around your photos in either Photoshop or Elements. However, the border (or stroke) often has rounded corners instead of the nice square corners.

First, let’s talk about the default settings then talk about how to change that. For example, what if you where digitally scrapbooking and you loaded a photo into Photoshop Elements and added a border around the photo to give it that retro look. So you have probably done this by using a Stroke layer style (Layer>LayerStyle>Style Settings).

NEXT, you select the options for the border (Stroke) you want around the photo.

However, doing this results in a border (Stroke) that has a rounded edge. The outline or border becomes rounded as you enlarge it—not usually what we wanted when we add a stroke to the photo in the digital scrapbooking project.

So how about getting rid of the border or (Stroke) Rounded Corners?

Here’s how you do that in Photoshop Elements and Photoshop….

Instead of using a layer style, arrange the Digital Photo on your digital scrapbooking paper. Then, click on the thumbnail of the layer you want to put the border (stroke) around.

Photoshop Elements Users: Go to: Edit > Stroke (Outline) Selection

Photoshop Users: Go to: Edit > Stroke

When the dialog opens, change your Stroke Width to something
larger, and then set the Location to Inside.

Click OK when you’re done and your results will look a lot cleaner!

That’s the trick to keeping the corners of the stroke (border) sharp and square instead of rounded!

This tip works in both Photoshop Elements and Photoshop too!

See how it looks in Photoshop!

Get more info here:

If you would like more info on doing this then see this article: How To Add a White Trim Border on a Photo! It give some extra details on how to do this.

If you have been working with an image, or a scrapbooking page that needs a border (stroke) around it then try this trick to to keeping the corners of the stroke sharp and square instead of rounded!

Hope this tip helps you streamline your work for Digital Scrapbooking Pages or Photo editing too!

Ms Digi Know’s 50 Great Tips for Photoshop Elements! Tip 5: Quickly Rotate Images

Ms. Digi Know — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 10:55:00 +0000

Readers Ask Ms. Digi Know Questions about Digital Scrapbooking, Photo Editing, Photoshop, Elements and MORE!

Ms. Digi Know will attempt to give you a great tip for Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, one tip at a time till she reaches 50 tips!

Today’s tip will cover how to quickly rotate images in Photoshop Elements! In this tip we will only be talking about Photoshop Elements because Photoshop doesn’t work the same.

This time we will start with TIP 5: How to quickly rotate images in Photoshop Elements!

First, let’s talk about the default settings then talk about how to change that. For example, what if you where digitally scrapbooking and you loaded the digital paper into Elements. NEXT, you decided that you wanted to turn your digital scrapbooking paper and also one of your photos.

Here’s how you do that in Photoshop Elements 9….

The usual way to rotate the scrap paper and photo is to go up to the menu Image > Rotate> 90 degree Left or Right

This is an acceptable way to rotate as you scrap or photo edit in either Photoshop Elements or Photoshop. However, there is a trick to do this task a little faster in both of these programs.

So here is how to do this in Photoshop Elements …..

In Photoshop Elements to Quickly Rotate Images 90 degrees without going into any menus.

Start by going to the Straighten tool (P). This tool is normally used for straightening images that may be slightly tilted. But here is another way to use it, to quickly rotate the scrapbooking project or image.
FYI: Photoshop doesn’t have the straighten tool so that is why we are only focusing on Elements on this tip!

So, if you hold down the Shift key and click-and-drag from bottom to top and it will rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise

It rotates like this…

It might be helpful to know that if you are digital scrapbooking it will rotate all layers and not just the one you have selected.

If you decide that you don’t want to rotate – just undo it! Click on the undo button in Elements or use the shortcut key.

If you want it to rotate 90 degrees clockwise then hold down the Shift
key and click-and-drag from top to bottom, the image will rotate 90
degrees clockwise.

It rotates like this…

Now my digital scrapbooking project is rotated in the direction I wanted and I can continue to digitally scrap my page!

This trick also works for photos! Just use the Straighten tool (P).
Then from this…

To this …

Now I will scrap both of these into a great digital scrapbooking project!

If you have been working with an image, or a scrapbooking page that needs to be rotated then try this trick to rotate fast!

Hope this tip helps you streamline your work for Digital Scrapbooking Pages or Photo editing too!

Till the next blog … lots love and hugs,

Ms Digi Know
